Well I'll say you didn't miss anything. At least not where I am.

I was out there this morning for 5hrs with my muzzleloader. 38* and a little windy, but not too bad. Did have a few strong gusts now and then.

In 35yrs of being out there on opening day...this was a first. I didn't hear a single gunshot for a full 30 mins after shooting light.
Normally I hear the first shot early and question why someone was shooting that early....and its steady banging from there. I probably heard 5 shots total in the first hour after shooting light. Then it picked up for about the next 30-45 mins (probably heard 20-25), then it went quiet again. I never saw a deer. I did see a decent sized black bear running through some thick stuff about the edge of my viewing area. Never could get a good look at him through the binos, he didn't stop. Nice size from what I could tell.

I hope it picks up...the past two weeks have sucked at my place. Very little activity at all, normally its pretty good this time of year.


Good luck guys
