Just wanted to give everyone the morning update. So we, (Bob, Nate, and Bubba), were in the stand this morning bright and early. You would have thought that it was Mid-November judging by the temperature this morning. The wind was from the South at 15 mph and the actually temp was 31 degrees. So needless to say, it was cold for an opener.
Nate headed out first as he had the farthest to go up to Right Field. Nate's stand overlooks a bean field that looked promising. He had a few deer sneak behind him and was caught by a doe probably because he forgot to use the WhiteLightning and eliminate his scent. I think he must of been smelling of bacon grease from the morning breakfast. He did see a good shooter buck and a few does, but the buck didn't present a shot for him.
Bob on the other hand was in the apple tree stand in the bottom where he had ample opportunity to take a doe or a young six pointer still in velvet. We will try and put that video on here so you can check it out. The deer moved late today around 7:30 am.
Bubba was in the stand that had the best bucks and most deer, the stand nearest the house. The deer were on Bubba early and often. Bubba told us that he had deer under him immediately and a young buck presented a shot, but something distracted him from behind. It was a 12 point buck that passed at 30 yards. Bubba decided to let him walk as he didn't give him the best angle to shoot at.
So all in all a very successful morning for the three of us as we saw a grand total of 6 bucks and countless does and fawns.
