Off to a rough start. Left alittle early to stop and get an oil change and batteries for the rangefinder. Put new batteries in once I stopped and it won’t turn on. Guessing it’s dead for good.
Then step out to unlock the gate and I stepped on a stalk of grass just right and it pierced my shoes and right into my heel. Waiting for it to stop bleeding and headed on down to my tree
While I was typing this, it sounded like a plane was about to land on top of me. Turns out 7 turkeys were gliding in from the top of the hill down the gas line and landed all around me. It’s gonna be an interesting hunt.

I traded in my bow for the rifle this afternoon (opening day of gun season in Zone D)…I’m in a spot where one of our guest hunters saw a bachelor group of bucks last weekend. They stayed out of bow range for him. I’m hoping they have a repeat performance this afternoon, because they shouldn’t be out of range for my rifle!!

My hunt got cut short and I had to climb down early. But, it was for VERY GOOD reason!!! My 6 year old son, Emory, was hunting with my Dad this afternoon and Emory killed his first buck!!! I got out of that stand as fast as I’ve ever climbed and took off towards the truck to go meet them!! Emory made a 125 yard DRT shot with my Dad’s rifle (he’s never shot that rifle). And with no tripod to hold the gun or earmuffs. We’ve had big hurdles in the past with him not wanting to shoot without earmuffs. Another special memory!!! I did Emory “dirty” by making him pose with his little ducky headlamp 🤣🤣🤣 ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/oESIKLi.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/3Oqgu9A.jpg)

Love it. You do a good job balancing hunting and hunting WITH your son. I enjoy seeing it. Can't wait for my 2 to be old enough to take.

[quote=SouthBamaSlayer]I’m on a 3 way road I can see about 250 yards in each direction. Buddy just had a monster run past him but couldn’t get him to stop. Weird thing is, the bucks are all in bachelor groups still. That’s normal. They will be for the next couple of weeks.
