not me, hunted all day and all I saw was 1 squirrel and 2 birds. just nothing moving around today. too warm and windy here, 65ish degree and wind gusts past 30mph. forecast for tomorrow is same wind, 72 and thunderstorms, yee-haa!.... still beats work. though! luck to all!
Didn't go,wanted to but my body said no.
saw 4 shot none
better than me beagle...didn't see anything. Went out this morning and this afternoon, nothing but squirrels. My buddy saw 3, but they spooked before he could shoot. Odd to be sweating walking to the woods in mid-november!
Heck Beagle,your sink ain't big enough for a deer.
Shot 0
Let 2 fawns by at 15 yds 8am last I saw of anything bigger than a squirrel.
My wife some how missed a good buck 50 yards out. probably do to the shakes. Me no watched 3 does 200 yards away for 20 mins waiting for him no dice.
back in the house seen two, one 30 yards in thick brush, wait, wait, wait, clear spot, come on move up, no, let me see that broad side, easy breath in ssssssssssssssspow, and we have a miss yes sir a clean miss, well now ain't we the mighty deer hunter.
1 shot running, it had one spike over 3 so I wasted my buck tag. O well always next year and I got some meat. Just miserable conditions.
Been rough weather for sure. Seen one 10 that we have pics of but he is only 3. Tall but no width or mass he got a free pass. Tons of squirrels. Just nice to be outdoors I guess
None for us so far. Hard to remember an opening weekend when we weren't eating deer meat on Saturday night.
:popcorn
This is 2 years in a row with miserable winds! Hard opener for me. Gave it up today and went and braved the winds on the water. It ended up being a good call. At least I got some crappie in the freezer!
Day two sitting in my stand thinking of the golden estrus girl on the camera next to me, letting all these 3-4 year old deer saunter by gentle breeze has the tree rocking me to sleep. Back to real world wondering if the tree I put this stand in is going to fall over, have not seen a deer since this am, o dark thirty wanting to put a dent in my almost new truck. Did not see anything. Had a good day though.
seen a doe today, brush too thick for a good shot. all I seen. had a tree top break off bout 100 ft from my stand, and come crashing down. that'll wake ya up. hey, Richard, you mentioned your tree gently rocking you to sleep, well I couldn't catch a wink because my tree kept trying to buck me off my stand!
Out yesterday morning, last night, and this morning. Didn't even bother with this afternoon! My first time out hunting as a 38 year old - looking forward to doing it much more often. Need to find some places to go that have more deer around :)
four came in the draw south of the house, one doe came in about 50 yards, her back was to the sun, mine was not, no clean shot, she go by by
seen 6 by 9oclock 3 bucks and 3 does got a dandy 9pt following a doe 17in inside 11in g2s didntnt burn a doe tag on a Ozark doe , will shoot one at my house in platte co. way bigger. Great to be out with friends in tough condititions, would post pic but really don't know how with my flip phone!
I have been bowhunting some archery only areas . Took a doe allready for the freezer , so I have been holding out for a mature buck . I saw several last week , but they were on the trail of a hot doe . Watched one giant bedded down in a bean field with a doe for over an hour last Monday . He would get up and chase off younger bucks ,then bed down again . I watched the show from 125 yards away , and tried every call I had to coax him in , but he wasn't interested . Sure was an exciting hunt though . Thats what hunting is all about for me though , I don't have to kill something to have an enjoyable hunt .
Saturday was pretty good I got a 8 pointer and wife got a 6 pointer nothing big but meat in freezer
a nice doe finally jumped in my truck with a little help from the 06.
good deal, Richard! we aren't seeing many deer here this season so a doe would be very welcome!
Took another doe with my bow in an archery management hunt Friday . Not seeing many mature bucks lately . Lock down ?
Shuda whuda cuda had 5 doe come in while looking for horns they spotted me and puft they wher gone. Had that lead doe in my scope shuda took her. Oh well just finished getting yesterday in the freezer so looking forward to tomarrow.

Thursday - 8 does & fawns, 2 small 8 pointers and a dandy, no shot. Friday - 4 does, 2 small bucks and helped another son with his 9 pointer.
