Yuppers, season is finally here...less than 24 hours! Got some snow on the ground here as well...and thankfully it's coming off some of the tree limbs...was kinda worried the limbs might cover up some shooting lanes. Either way I hope to at least some deer in the morning...get that old adrenaline rush back!
Be safe everyone! On the road and in your stand!

Man i forgot how it felt to have deer around my stand with in bow range 14.5 yard on the first day. They never entered my shooting lanes. They stuck around for about 45min but never crossed my lanes. One deer was about to cross but the other Deer stay behind and made my doe turn around or something. They never did look up at me but still looked like they knew something was up. i thought i was going to finally pop my cherry with the bow. I also went out sunday morning in the rain and saw nothing, not even those pain in the ass squirrels. lol good luck to all. I hope to post the next time saying i got 1 finally with the bow

I hunt lower Sullivan, and some years I see more deer browsing in the rain, than I do when it's nice. But this year could be different. I haven't seen this many acorns in our area for years, which means they don't really have to browse around as far. I'm hunting even in heavy rain. I brought a pop up just in case, find a high flat area, and give em hell. Can't waste a weekend since it's all I got. Good Luck.

i got 1 finally with the bow, no longer a virgin with the bow. It was about 19yard shot at a 2 year old doe i think.. It wasnt a big doe, 115pounds but i just wanted to put a deer down with the bow for the first time . Doe ran about 30yards and dropped, double lung shot but missed the heart. About 5min after 4 more does came in bow range and then a coyote.. I went 2 years with out anything and boom i saw everthing.. I was afraid that the coyote was going to get my down doe, it was only about 15yards rt. of my deer. The coyote saw me in my stand about 40 yards and spooked. This was friday afternoon about 160hrs. just beforestorm rolled in. The woods were alive with animals eating beforethe storm. thank you for all the advice and help some have gave ,thank you((( up top i meant 1650hrs))))
