Default RE: Opening weekend " Results "

Thats a good start Trophyhuntr.

I opened my season on Saturday morning. Within 45 minutes on stand I saw 3 small 1.5 year old bucks. Two offered shots at 30 yards and both got the pass. Not quite what I was looking for on opening morning but a rush none the less. The last of the 3 bucks broke off and from the two that offered shots and never reappeared. He still has my imagination wondering why he didn't follow the others. I saw rack on him at 50 yards but t it was early and the light was poor. I could tell he was a buck but that was about it. Saturday afternoon I spied a lone doe that crossed the creek with the others and followed suit of the last buck. She headed North and was never seen again.

Sunday, I can't hunt Maine on Sunday but New Hampshire's opener is Wednesday and then Sundays will be fair game until Mid December.

All in all it was a sucessful hunt. I had a great time without ever flinging and arrow and my expectations are high for the rest of the season. I've never seen 3 bucks on an opener so this was a personal best so far.

Congrats on a sucessful hunt T.H. Hopefully that pass will pay off later in the season
