Getting off to a slow start, this year. Got almost 4" of rain, Mon. and Tues. Season opened Mon. Got to hunt all of 15 mins. befor it started raining, and I got a wet azz. cry

Went this am. Got to the woods right at 7am. Heavy overcast and almost 100% humidity. Both my glasses and scope fogged up after getting out of the truck. decided to sit rather than walk around. Saw 2 squirrels about 8am. Clean miss on the first one [happens every year on the first squill]. Second one I THOUGHT I had head shot. It came straight down out of a pignut hickory. Hit the ground and took off running before I could get the rifle on him, and got in a hole. blush Not exactly a great start. About 10 am, I saw one bouncing around in another hickory. I eased up on him, and red headed it with 1 shot, DRT

Our season goes til Jan 31st of 2017, so I have some time to redeem myself. Turned out to be a young female. Fried limb chicken, gravy and fresh maters in the not too distant future. grin
