I was in Canada moose hunting on the opener, but I managed to get out last night for the first time.

The wind was out of the East for some terrible reason and wasn' t right for any of my local stands. So I set up a quick ground blind in the corner of a soybean field. But as Murphy' s law would have it, ever deer I saw come out of the ONE spot that was downwind and they all winded me.

All in all I saw 7 deer total. Kicked up 3 does on my way in, saw 3 more does passing through the edge of the field, and one buck that also winded me. I only got a brief glimpse of white as he was walking through some thick brush, but he looked like a basket 6, maybe an 8.

Hopefully I have some better luck this weekend.
