Ok, I have another question for you... what does it usually sound like on opening day of gun season where you are hunting? If you say there is silence I'm gonna have to come see it for myself. Most places, opening day sounds like the start of a small war. Unless people are getting bored and shooting at each other

... I'm thinking that at least
somebody is seeing some deer.
This last year I heard fewer then 10 shots on opening day...........It was dreadful. There were a bunch of guys out this year too. Most of them packed up in disgust and were elsewhere by lunch time. When I say 10 shots I am talking within respectable range. Shots can be heard way off in the distance but those could be miles away so I just consider the ones close by.
I can remember many days that were like all hell breaking loose and some relatively quiet ones too........but nothing like what we saw last year.
