Well guys, bow season opened on the 15th in two of the states I hunt in. I went to Missouri for the opener but got rained out. I did manage to get on the stand opening morning and sat in the rain for four hours. I didn't see anything but squirrels.
I suppose I can say that this Friday will be my official season opening hunt. It's supposed to rain, but we'll have B.J., the Super Dog in camp. He's a deer tracking legend, so we're not too worried.
This past weekend I was in Great Lakes, IL for my daughter's Navy boot camp graduation. I would have missed a rut hunt anywhere in the country to have been there for her. She's the youngest of six, so I guess I'm officially an "empty nester" now. I can hunt every weekend if I want.
Here's a pic I took of my daughter while we were at Red Lobster in Gurnee, IL:
