Opening day, 29 degrees, calm, snow on the ground and more falling.
About 30 minutes after getting into my blind a nice doe walks past at about 20 yds. Stops and looks right at me.
Let her walk, to early in the day and season to shoot a doe.
About 1 1/2 hours later #3 shoots this nice 8. It took him 2 1/2 hours to drag him back to the truck. The county we hunt is right on Lake Michigan and the topo in our area is a heat attack maker. He had to drag it up and down some pretty steep and slippery snow covered hills and his final drag was up a 300' sand dune style slop. Buck weighed about 180 lbls. Would not let his 78 year old Dad help, he was really beat when he reached the top.
We each have another buck tag and three doe tags, but Opening Day was a nice start.
