Year #1 (Josh, Jon, Zach, Steve)
Woke up to -16 deg weather on opening morning w/ snow on the ground. Deer were definately on the move in full rut.
Within 30 mins of opener, I had 3-8pt's on the ground, all within 50 yards of the stand built earlier that summer. Had to do some begging for buck tags at that point.
Jonnie got on the board pretty quickly as well, with a nice long shot across an open field, he happend to see a deer crossing the field as we were dressing out the 3 bucks. After opening morning we had 4 hanging.
Later that afternoon, we headed back to the stands, I never had a chance to get out of my truck. I dropped Zach and Jonnie off to walk to their stands, and no sooner than I put the truck in reverse, Zach had already taken a shot and had another doe on the ground. As Zach and I walked up to look at it, we heard Jonnie fire as well, making it 6.
Josh came down with the flu (legit) and missed opening day all together, but we got him out in the stand Sunday afternoon, within a half hour, he had his doe brining us up to a total of 7, which is when we called it quits for season #1.
Fun drive home with 28 legs sticking out of the back of the truck.
