Good luck fellas. I am at work. Went to shoot my rifles yesterday and I couldn't locate the breech plug I took out of the inline, and the nipple on my new Kentucky rifle cracked on the second shot. Hopefully I can source one or both before Wednesday.

I saw 8 deer and 1 cat this morning.
Only one deer was a shooter and only saw it briefly.
Well out of range.
Hoping for a better afternoon.

Got skunked this morning. My bastard oaks quit dropping. Found some nuttalls that are raining. Went to go get a bite to eat and a shower, catch up on emails, got back in here at 130 and deer were everywhere. They saw me coming from a long ways off. Maybe they will come back. Ready to smoke a deer.

Had to work and ended up working later than expected but got in the stand at 330. Had a yearling buck come by missing his right side. He played in a scrape and ran and bucked down the hill and fed behind me downwind for 10 mins before wondering off.

I will be in the woods Wednesday afternoon. After reading all this, I can’t wait to get out there.

Re: Opening day.. - 11/19/19 04:36 AM
Took the boat to get to my spot. Almost ran a fawn over on the way to the ramp. Didn't see any deer, but saw turkeys and some feral cat sized fox squirrels. Of course when I got back to the boat launch there were about 10 deer next to the ramp. I know where I'm hunting tomorrow!!!!
Overall it was a fun day for me. I took my new to me boat out, puttered around Smith Lake checking places out that, as a guest on other peoples' boats you can't ask them to just pull over, and found some good places to take my boys squirrel hunting. The fox squirrels I saw have to be some kind of Boone and Crockett squirrels. They look like cats running through the woods. Probably will take my ~9 and ~5 year old out Sat mid-morning to knock around and see if we can bag a few.
If you squint real hard and use your imagination, there's a big ass fox squirrel in this picture:
Going to be back at it Friday. Maybe Thursday if I decide to skip classes.

Got my first muzzleloader buck yesterday evening. Was one of the bucks off my hit list this year so killing him with my new ML made it a plus for sure. Came in about 430 about 70yds out.

Lol I was for the first 30 pictures! Teaching an 80yr old man how to use a smart phone camera isn't that much fun.
