Not an opening day story....but pretty quick. Late in the season (last weekend) and work had taken a lot of my time this year. Up until now I'd been pretty selective and passed up multiple bucks that were just a bit too small. The freezer was light and the season was ending. Told my brother before we left the house....this was not a "normal" hunt and the "targets" were "anything with hair on it".
Had one buck tag and 3 doe permits in my pocket, so I went to a stand where I'd seen lots of deer, but no "shooters" until that time.
Daylight found a small herd in the food plot....and the slaughter began. In less than a minute I had three does and a smallish 8 point on the ground.....maybe 30 minutes total time from when I got in the stand. My brother, at the same time and a different stand, put two does on the ground.
Back to the house in less than an hour with 6 deer for the freezer.
