Hmmmm...where can i start...i think i' ll start here....5:30 woke up excited for opening day...i had just put out a stand about a week ago and had high hopes of seeing some action....Got out nice and quietly and sat till about 10 am...saw nothing, I got down went home....Went to farm and fleet to get ready for my evening hunt i needed some more scent shampoo and what not.......When purchasing the scent products i was thinking that something must to happen tonight to get me going about this years season.....Well i got in a stand that was across the field from where i hunted that morning at around 3:30....This side was where i saw the 200 class buck just last year along with several other nice bucks.....Well i prayed that i would atleast see something, i actually didnt even care if i killed anything, i just needed the reassurance of this years hunt...Well sure enough 6:40 crossed by and a small 8 point much like Peaks big trophy (sarcasm) walked by...nice body but nothing shootable......20 seconds later a nice 8 (guessing it would score 120)and a nice 10 point (around 130) ran out about 50 yards from me all three started sprawling.I honestly dont think i would have taken any of them because i figured they were all young bucks and would be great to harvest next year....While i was watching them i knew it wouldnt be my day but i was sooo thankful to be able to see some good action out in the field....This hunt gave me enough fuel to last the whole season...thanks to god...

Sounds like you had a great opening day. Good luck with that 200.

letting a 130 class buck go???? that vodka must be pretty strong . Here in PA that baby is down and on the wall!!!!! only one day of school left now!

Hey Ghost
I have a list of some unbelieveable answered prayer stories, which I won' t relay here. I can say this, don' t be afraid to be more specific in your prayers, you can get some serious action, when you least expect it.
Good Luck!

sounds like a great day, hopefully mine will resemble yours.

Aays encouraging to see deer

I only hope that 200 class buck is still around.....As for the 130 class buck it was around 50 yards from my stand...soo a bit too far to reach but i know the potential of the land and thats the only reason i wouldnt have shot it.....Well i agree about being specific about prayers 3 step god has blessed me many of times...But that night it didnt matter to me if i killed something or not i just wanted to be excited about hunting again....Well i' d love to hear about your guys hunts so yeah please tell....
