In our camp, 25 guys will be doing the same thing that they do every year, sit and wait. The first few days of the opener, everyone gets to the camp early, we all head up in the quads together and get set by 5:30 and don't head out till 5:00 at night. Some guys will use tinks, some won't. Some guys will be grunting, bleating, and sometimes even rattling, others will just sit and wait. We'll call each other on the radio all the time. "Hey, Mike, 3 headin your way", "Hey, Who Shot?", and when it's quiet and nothing goin on, you'll hear a couple of grunts, wheezes, & bleates over the radio just to laugh and pass the time. And by the end of the first day, we exchange what worked and what didn't work and get ready for the next day.
I tend to like the second week, when you sit the morning, a lot of the guys come out at 10:00 and go back at 1:00, and I get to walk around, and stalk with my son. I'll tell him which way I'm headed, and he goes his way, and it always seems to kick up deer when they just don't seem to be moving. Good luck to all and remember, This weekend is national Lager and Margarita time, do your best to uphold your great traditions and bend an elbow or two or three for the cause.
