Hey DJ Whats up.

Nice talking to you on the opener:D

I am in the land of Dinks this year:) Besides that small 7 I had under me in the morning, I had another small six under me in the afternoon.

A couple does on thursday and thats it.

They don' t seem to be moving or doing much of anything.

I will be out this weekend

Good Luck

I only hunted in the afternoon. I saw 5 deer 2 does, 2 button bucks and a small doe fawn. I also went out this evening and there was somebody in the spot I wanted to go so I went to some state land and didn' t see anything. This weekend should be a zoo. Good luck

Good to see some familiar town names on here.

My opener here on the Island was a good one for me. I shot a nice 7 pointer the first hour in the stand and actually passed on 3 smaller bucks right after I shot the 7.

On Saturday morning took a " basket" 13 pointer out of the same stand. (it was 11 legit points and 2 small ones, all longer than an inch though)

I will post some pictures this evening hopefully.

The deer have actually been moving real well so far, but the area I hunt has a bunch of new hunters in it this year and they are quickly messing things up.

I' ll keep you all posted as the season progresses. Good luck.

What town are you hunting in?

all i have been seeing is a lot of does all the bucks we have been seeing are gone i think they were pressured to much on the first few opening days but i am still trying day in and day out thinking of trying me a new spot i didnt scout but i dont see anyone hunting there and i saw a VERY NICE buck there last year and he had three legs. i figure no one is hunting there they will not be as pressured
