saw lots, jumped a doe at 20 feet I snuck up on (without knowing). she trotted slowly away from me without giving me a shot. I don't do tx heart shots, so I watched and whistled and grunted and even said hey! but to no avail. had a spike buck bedded by my blind, still only have doe tags. saw TONS of pheasants and a bald eagle. had a blast just being out. got a little nippy at sunup, but I think it was still in the 20's. a beautiful first day of vacation!
