We honestly worked somewhere in the neighborhood of 2000 birds this morning.

Yes we took 2 drakes and 2 hens. If I would've been the one who pulled the trigger I probably would have.

Hunted a pond that we broke ice in and what a morning! Mallards, Blacks, Hooded Mergs were what filled our bag. Saw a few Teal and Blue Bills that we couldn't close the deal on. A ton of birds around with this cold weather we have had.

Took the morning off after being extremely frustrated. Went after ducks instead. We had a great shoot and a beautiful sunrise!

Awesome deer for sure joe!

Pretty nice morning. Seen 8 so far. 1 spike and 7 flat heads.i

I'm still having a tuff time seeing deer! Part of the problem I believe is the 200 acres I'm primarily hunting was logged last winter. Worst year b for me by far, but still grinding it out In This nasty cold. Back at it in AM to freeze, but if it ever does come together it will truly be one of the most memorable bucks since I've had to work and sit so hard for! At this point a respectable 2 1/2 yr old would be an hell of a achievement with the season I've had.

Love the drops!!

Wow three of them bastards! As hard as it is to say, those are some nice looking dogs! Especially the one In the middle. We're they all together? Great job knocking them down! !

What a MONSTER! That's what I'm looking for! Congrats to you guys!

I definitely think last winter is the culprit here. The number of shots I herd tonight was 2! That I absolutely unheard of. The number of hunter vehicles that I've seen the last 2 days is as expected ( normal to every year). The only problem I have is the camera's say the deer are there. And for example this morning I saw 9 deer, 7 on stand and a good 8pt with a doe where I park. This evening I saw 18 deer on the same stand. All small bucks and doe's and a few in the twilight that I couldn't quite tell. 200 yrds from where I was, was my buddy who didn't even see a deer. I'm Hoping that it's not the number of deer that is the problem, it's location of where you are and pressure Instead! Even more so I'm really hoping it's hunters in my area who are waiting for the opportunity at a mature deer and letting others pass. There's way to many hunters where I am not to hear shots!

Haven't heard a shot in a hour and a half. So weird for opening day and with the number of vehicles on the road this morning. And even worse still No deer sightings! !

X 100! !!!

Haven't seen a deer n no shooting wtf! ?

Beautiful Buck congrats again!

Patterning a buck during the rut is damn near impossible! I mean look at the pictures Dan just posted on Legacy thread, big 10 point standing in someone's drive way. Don't see that really any other time of the year except for now! To me the last week in October first week of November is the best time in the woods. I mr

Nice buck congrats!!

Yup the Bucks are with the doe's for sure right now. I'd be surprised to see a mature deer right now that's not with a doe. Wheatland ay? I'll have to take a drive.........lol

What about this morning Rob? It's prime out there!

I agree with Dan on this one, if you have to many doe's the Bucks don't have to work or compete for a piece of the action. Kinda why I believe that when people say that the buck to doe ratio here in Monroe County has nothing to do with why rattling is NO where near as affective as places with a much better heard ratio. Why fight for something when you can go another 50yrds and get exactly what you are waiting for????

Good to here! I just sat down.

This is not fair!! Huge cold front is blowing right now and I'm just pacing back and forth at work knowing I only have 2 more chances to get it done before all he'll breaks loose!! Going crazy

Grrrrrrrrr!!! It blows, who ever says you would get bored if you didn't work is OUT OF THERE MIND. As long as you hunt and fish you would be just fine I promise!
