    Someone just stared their season with the 'HeadStart" program:rant:


    Used to common to be sitting on stand on a calm day, hearing the sound of a 4 barrel open up followed but gunshots.
    Those encounters are getting rare these days thank God.

    Good luck everyone.

    First sit of the year in this stand. Overlooking bedding. I have seen 8 or 9 does, but no bucks following. This is the stand I saw my biggest buck ever in Michigan. There are usually some big boys around here.

    Enjoy the day.

    Just had #5 target buck come down of the ridge at 80 yards. I grunted at him and he stopped but then proceeded to cross the field with his nose to the ground. IMG_2179.JPG

    I've been in for a while. Shortly after day break I had a buck chase doe by my stand. Didn't get a good look at him but I didn't think he was legal. Original thout was the heavy 4 I have seen before. So they go by and circle back to me and see more bone on his head. We play this game of doe binding some thick stuff. I didn't see her. See him, I grunt she goes tearing out of the thick stuff , oh crap.

    But she leads him back up to my area. I drew on him twice and her once.

    It's a cold morning. Little to no wind from south south east. 30 drgrees

    Just needed to stay still another 2-3 seconds to settle pin.

    Leaves are falling straight done at a steady pase.

    Good luck everyone.

    Congrats on the kills. LC, smca, last

    Nothing happening here other than coffee dripping from a base layer. Kinda surprised no arrows flung yet in Eastern time zone.

    Been in since 20 mins before legal..... took me longer set up than planned. Typical first sit of the year. Had a buck come right under my stand right at legal light. Too dark in woods to make a good shot. I think he was a 6 or 8 point. Still would have shot him. Feels like a good day to kill something!

    No deer yet. This wind is cutting through into my kidneys and keeps going SE to SW.

    Grunts goodbye

    I’ve had a doe and fawns around me for the last 45 min. They are occasionally being harassed by a small 4 pt. Not much shooting going on for the first day of firearms season.
