DAMN!!!!
 

So I am sittin in my stand yesterday evening. It's 5:40 and I am not expecting anything until almost dark. Well, there was a deer at 17 yards about to step out of da woods and into the open when it sees me waving my hand at the skeeter buzzin in my ear. I was so mad. Hopefully I can redeem myself tomorrow. It's the opener in Lacassine.

On Vacation
 

I will be there in the morning as well. Hopefully slinging an arrow.

ill be driving, but my cousin is giving me a whole deer this year for always taking him dcuk hunting.

He is just gonna field dress it and let me have it.

my brother works at a meat processing and smoke house. so i can get it done for free

I'm freaking ready!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Guy called me from the camp this morning & it was 47 degrees there!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hopefully I can let the air outta one this w/e! Have a couple pin oaks that they are wearing out right now!

never killed a deer. never have the patience to sit in a stand and be quiet

Be sure to post the first kill of the season guys!!! :)

im like u..i kill 1 a year..all the rest of the deer huntin trips wit the boys to st. francisville consist of alotta bon fires food and beer and sleep...wen they get back i help em out and start back at the bud light again..thats y im a duck hunter...i get the greatest adrenaline rush know to man kind every weekend and most of the week..and the best part is im usually limited out by 8 and back at the house watching football by 12...and then i wake up and do it again..just for the rush..deer hunters only have a chance to get that rush 1 time a hunt..and alot of times never get it...duck hunters have the opportunity to get that rush up to 6 or more times as an indivdual and usually we always get it....i love mah deer hunters though..without yall us duck hunters would go starving..no lie bout dat mai..

True dat. Mai. Quack quack boom !!

Same here, I got vacation on Monday too just in case I don't get one the first 4 days. I got one last year on the opener at 7am.

nice hat
 

Nice hat! Do they make those for men? :) I think there is a picture of W circulating on here wearing a hat like that. Just kidding. Nice deer.

Leaving home in a bit to go look at a couple of spots on the canal for in the morning. Hope the smell of crab bait in the boat draws the deer like it draws the flies.:*****::*****::*****:

How did you do? Everyone I talked to did not see any. So far I only know of 1 killed and 2 misses. Hope the moon goes away soon. I have had fresh tracks every morning when I get there. getting frustrating.

I saw two on opening morning. The first about 45 yards and in a ton of thick stuff. Didn't even see it's head. That was around 7am. Around 9am I heard something walking. A big doe headed towards me. She was down wind and I was worried she wouldn't make it. She got about 35 yards and froze. I needed her to come about 10 more to be in the clear but she slowly turned around and eased out the way she came. Didn't see anything Friday, Saturday or Sunday either. I couldn't stand another day of the skeeters so I skipped yesterday. Buddy jumped one out of his spot on Sunday mornin goin to his stand. We nearly got blowed out our trees on Sunday in da storm. Screw it, I am headed for Missouri on Thursday. Be nice to be in some much cooler temps with no skeeters. Hopefully I can stick the big one up der.

Sounds about right for the year. Hopefully see one soon. Are you hunting the on the IC. Or in streeters?

I hunting IC. U? Ya'll weren't the fellars having motor trouble on Sunday mornin were ya?

No I was in Streeters. Was not me having trouble, I missed that.
I will be hitting some spots along the IC soon if my others don't pick up. :help:

I had motor trouble this morning, luckily it was at the landing. I hope I fixed it, took the 60 off and put the 90 Optimax on. Can't wait to see the difference in speed and fuel economy. Will hopefully be out there tomorrow evening or Thurs. morning.
