VA muzzle loader opener last weekend was interesting, mid-high 70’s, saw 2 doe all day Saturday, passed on the 330am wake-up Sunday. Went out in the afternoon to hang a stand and hunt a spot I thought had potential and for which the wind was perfect. Less than an hour in saw a big deer walking away from me but couldn’t ID. Then a 6 point walked in, grunted, and the earlier deer came back to deal w him, raking a tree and scraping, couple minutes later he stepped into a window and a big 9 was in the bag. Dragging was fun in that heat. You never know.
