I have to give Connie all the credit in the world, after 2 sugeries on her wrist and 1 more to go I thought I'd lost my opening day partner forever. But a week or so back I got her to shoot her Mler and she was surprising to say the least. From 50-75yds this girl can shoot. She packs em in better that a few of the guys we hunt with.
We've been hunting togeather on opening day for 27 years now, give or take one or two because of bad weather, I let her stay home. Even though I used to get razzed by the guys for taking my wife on opening day, they now look forward to seeing her. She may not shoot the biggest buck in the woods but she's consistant. And everytime she gets a deer I get a thrill that cant be explained. There's nothing more I'd hope for on opening day then for her to get a deer. She has 2 more days this season she can hunt and Im hoping she'll get a big fat swamp doe next, then she gets a crack at another buck for Late MLer Season and another doe tag also.
