All I have to show for opening morning is the lead slug I missed with. At around 11 I had a nice 8 pointer walking away from me on my right side behind a thicket. I grunted at him with my Buck Roar and he turned right around in his tracks. He made a 90 degree arc right into a shooting lane about 45 yards away directly in front of me. I took a shot and he jumped forward and took a crap then ran off. I swore I hit him because of his body language and I thought I heard an impact. Turns out I was right in line with his vitals just a little low. So I guess I just scared the crap out of him.I saw where the slug went along the ground behind him. The impact sound I heard was the slug smacking into a tree. I dug around a little and there was the slug right at the base of the tree. It was a successful day thought. I saw 6 does and the one buck. I can't wait to go back out later in the week.

I shot a nice little 10 pointer on opening morning in Orange County.. heard 66 shots before I took this one at 9:30 AM. My largest to date!!! Killed on public land to boot!!!




A buddy that was with us took a nice 11 pointer on sunday morning... Also killed on public land!!!


And a father and son got a double on 8 pointers Saturday evening... was the son's first deer.. and yes it's bigger than dad's!!!

I got this 8 point on Tuesday evening. He isnt the biggest buck i seen this year but im still happy to get him. He is my nicest buck so far. Weighed 150 field dressed and was in full rut.
