A wise man once said "You dont miss the opener!" That is the only reason I will be out in the morning. Call it superstition if you want. I will only be out for an hour or 2. it's my wifes birthday and we are supposed to be leaving town around 9:30 A.M.
If a good buck comes by I will have to shoot it, but if a doe comes by I might let it go. Not because i dont want to shoot a doe this year, because I do. It might get a pass because of the time it will takee to track it, dress it, drag it, load it, transport it, unload it, hang it, check it in, and pack it full of ice. i dont think I could do all that and still be able to leave on time. i would take the grief for a buck, but not a doe.
