Congrats on a fine buck, deerslayer. Opening weekend here was uneventful. Our two creeks dried up during the summer draught, and all the deer are hanging out on the neighbors farm. Didn't see a single deer all weekend. I did have a very close encounter with a very upset bobcat saturday morning. That got my heart pumping good. LOL

Saturday morning, seen a doe right as it was getting light. Then saturday evening I had a doe and spike pass under my stand, could have took the doe. Sunday evening, I didnt see a thing way too warm!! Cant wait till this weekend, high of 60's!
