RE: Have you shot an opening day buck?
Maybe 8 or 9 years ago I shot a nice 7 point in velvet. He was running with 3 other bucks at the time. He ran into a big snarl of wait a minute vines and his velvet was a mess by the time I got him out of it.[:@] Maybe it was messed up to begin with but I didn't see it.. I did pull some off getting him out though.

Two years in a row i did. First year was about 45 minutes in and second was 1 1/2 hours in. Both were in the 120-130 rangebut when you only can take one deer, it shortens your season a bit.

I shot a small buck opening day of last season but due to my ownignorance, I didn't recover him [:'(]
Things are different now, that particular series of mistakes WON"T happen again.

No but I took my 1st archery deer ever on the 4th day of the season (Oct.) & my 1st P&Y Buck on the 4th day of the season 25 years later within 100 yds. of my 1st Bow kill . This is the 25 year anniversary, sooooo, maybe I will get a WORLD RECORD.
Good Luck to all this year.
