I hunted up in the Lakeview area on Tuesday and Wednesday. Lots of standing corn, wind, and rain kept the deer movement to a minimum. I did not see any bucks this year. Fact is, I only saw 4 smaller does. My venison stockpile is running low and I just can't go without tenderloin and eggs for breakfast… I ended up with a close shot right before dark opening day at the best of the 4 molly's I saw. My brother in law was hunting the same property 400 yards from me and got a 9 point and a big molly before 7:30 opening morning. Not nearly as much shooting as normal. I will hunt Thanksgiving morning, but that is all for me this year.
Well gentlemen hunted 3mi from sanford lake and 1 1/2 from wixom lake I could smell the musky's in the air saw the most bucks I have ever seen in one day of gun deer season 5 legal bucks 7:45 am a 8 point 8:40am spike 9:15 6 point though I was on T.V. with all the bucks I was seeing and at 12:25 pm 10 point and a 8 point walking a fast pace next to one another 100 yards away from me but in a 50 yard opening walking very fast.I shot 4 times from 7:45 am to 9:15 am I'm embarrass to say Oh what the heck I've embarrass my self many time on here all ready Never used a borrowed gun the day be for the openner especially if you never shot it before shot 2 time's at the 8 point missed 1 time at the spike killed it shot at the 6 point got alittle bit white hair.It was very combat ineffective of me, Made me feel unworthy of wearing the black and gold tab I know it can't be age I'm only 21 yrs old or bad eye sight must of been bad luck oh well I guess I won't be storming any beaches or air dropping in on any airports on a exotic island in the west indies or going in by helicopter to fast rope in to the street to fight a bunch of skinny's so I guess I was lucky it was just deer this time.
Nothing photo worthy, tender little 4 point opening morning. How about a bull instead? 2005 Arizona archery

I got a 5 point opening of bow at 8:15am(my first buck 
) The old Wheeler did it's job! A double lung shot …the buck only went 20yds.
I was walking to my stand and spooked a buck out it looked to be a nice one. After I got settled in my stand I did some grunting and the big buck came back. It was the biggest buck I have ever seen in the woods! It was cool to call him in I never had that work before. I hope to see him again.
As for CAMP NO DEER my buddy Bob got one. We have had our camp for 6 years and nobody has ever shot a deer.
Missed a small buck opening day due to first time shooting with glasses. Should have practiced. No more open sights for me time to retire the old 30/40 Krag . Looking for a used 30/06 with scope. Father in law came through with a nice doe for us though hanging in the garage. I may try a little with the bow this december. Kingfisher
