Opening day here in PA is this Saturday, 9-30. I do not even bother to watch the weather forecasts....It means Nothing.
The deer are out there in the woods....The woods are their home. They have to go about their business regardless of our schedules...
I'll be out there doing a little still-hunting every time work don't interfere. For me....that is maybe an hour or so before dark during the week and Mornings on Saturday.
The deer are there....I just gotta find them.
Don't let the name fool Ya!

It's 88 by my thermometer, but the wind is right, the crossbow is sighted in, and I'm headed for the woods this afternoon. I didn't put out my camera's this fall, so I don't know what is coming thru, but something is tearing up the creek bank. Hope its a buck or a hog and I can get a shot, does and fawns get a free pass.

I sat last night for the first time this season. I had a 6-point come in early, and stayed within range for 45 minutes or so....pretty cool. But I have a 160 on camera, so that's the only one I'm interested in.

Well Dan, I sure hope things go better than last year. Each year I look forward to this thread. Sure do enjoy it.
Thanks

That's ok Dan. It's too early to actually shoot anything anyway. 😄
They say everything happens for a reason.
For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.
