Well, my opening weekend went something like this...

I went out friday afternoon, put up my treestand and climbing sticks. I hunted friday nite from the stand but had no luck. Saturday morning I came back to my tree and found that there was no stand at the top of my climbing sticks. Someone stole my damn stand. So, i hunted from the ground saturday morning, didn't see anything but squirrels.

Saturday evening, I setup my ground blind, and some guy with 2 mutts was stomping his way through the woods squirrel hunting. His freakin dogs came right up to me barking up a storm.

Sunday morning, i went to a different area and hunted a few yards behind a small field. Around 8am or so, some dove hunters with a lab sat about 60 feet from me shooting like crazy.

By Sunday evening i was about to give up... I decided to just go out dove hunting because i figured that all the dogs/dovehunters/squirrel hunters probably ran the deer off. I did see one dove, got one shot, but missed!

Needless to say, i had a pretty bad weekend! I hate public land!

Btw, this was in Onstead State Game area Lenewee county.
