    Just started to panic when I realized I didn’t have my release…which I then remembered that I don’t need one for the crossbow.

    No idea what to expect here.

    Deer went by to my right in the pitch dark. .

    Doe and fawn stepped out at 33yds right at shooting time, didnt dare take a shot over 20yds in such low light.

    Its kill time now out to 35yds.

    Good luck everyone.

    If you saddle hunt dont forget your carabiners if you take them off to wash your saddle and ropes....dont ask me how I know....had to tie myself to the tree last night. Was not the best situation. I was over a mile deep. Did not even see a squirrel.

    Same here so far. I can’t help feeling like it’s just a matter of time though.

    The lying weather channel said the wind was going to be out of the northeast. It’s been out of the southwest all morning. Had the Ozonics running but I shut it off once the sun got up. It’s chilly so I’m betting on thermals to help me out.

    So far I’ve seen nothing except a few squirrels. I’m going to sit until 10:00, go in to get something to eat and then I’ll probably get back on stand at noon and sit until 2:30 or 3:00. I don’t expect anything midday given how early in the season it is, but you never know.

    This evening I plan to sit from 5:30 until dark.

    Opening day and @LittleChief is almost pulling an all day sit. This, boys and girls is why he kills so many deer.
