Nothing of a picture to post...and really not much of a story.
It was 37 degrees this morning and from what I can remember, that was the coldest opening day of PA Archery...did not see any deer this morning, but did see some turkeys. The little ones were the size of small chickens, so that might be tough if we have a colder than normal fall with rain.
Heading back out tonight to do the evening hunt. Have to head over to NY to work on some posting.

When I stepped out of the truck in the brisk air I said to Kurt, damn I forgot my jacket so wearing only BaseSlayers and a Scentblocker shirt into the stand I went to be chilled. What a gorgeous morning. I saw the back of a semi big deer enter the corn down near Kurt, he later confirmed it was a spike, he saw a doe and 2 fawns that I believe where the same ones that came by me later 200 yards down the CRP field. They came out of the corn and past me. No shots taken this morning but we both refreshed our minds and souls.
Here's what I looked at all morning minus the deer, songbirds, geese, squirrels and hawks. Click the Video Pic for scenery video.
And a couple pics. The first one is of a ladder stand I hung last season for my landowner in rifle season, he's afraid of heights and never used it. Good thing for me though is once the corn is cut, that is a great stand as they walk that hedge.
Colors are starting to change.
