That little guy didn't come my way, but was happy to get that. He was following a doe. I haven't been staying as out long in the mornings since my not giving a fuck meter is rising. I'll still go out , mornings & evenings just the same.

I got here about 3:30 also. One doe here now. Good Luck Everyone!
2 doe 3 bucks. 9 pt was pretty nice....Where's Grandpa?
Pulled in my drive right around dusk. Heard my first shot of bonus weekend. Heard another 3-5min later. Not at all shocked based on where I heard the shot. Glad I'm done. You all be safe and have a successful bonus weekend!
Dozen plus slick heads in the fields to the north....nothing remotely close.
Youve never target shot with the headlights lighting up your target? Go to work in the dark come home in the dark. Im joking but not completely ive done it more than once if rain was falling on planned shooting day.
A friend of mine has a buddy who shows up religiously, Sunday evening before gun opener and sights in his gun after dark. Has for the last 10 years. Never needs adjusting just gotta put that round down range in the dark, lit up by two trucks headlights on high beam….
I sent 2 shots downrange right before dark this evening. Both boys hit high and I needed to triple check the gun because of it. I'm sure people had the same thoughts as you, Phil. Truth is, I was actually being a responsible hunter verifying my equipment. Knowing people were going to be haters wasn't going to stop me. I would've done it under headlights if I needed to. I put in 63 hours this week and had checked the gun before gun week.
I am also wide awake with excitement to hunt today! Zero worry about worry about anything.

Settled in a blind myself. Had a nice break in the rain while I made the long walk in. 
Good luck guys, looks like the rain cleared out for the southern 1/3 of the state. Looks like it's solid rain until 4pm up here, at which time we have the first Xmas party if the year.....back at it tomorrow unless one walks thru the back yard today lol.
In the blind, buddy heater and my son will be joining me after he puts wreaths on veteran gravestones with the student council sometime this afternoon.

While on the topic of keeping things legal. I had this guy in front of me for 20 minutes before legal light. He slipped out of sight with 2 minutes left before I could shoot. Oh well. 30 yards

This is the type weather where a big fugger messes up and gets killed
I’m not going out in this shit. So I’m basically here to cheer y’all on. Rah rah rah rah… Don’t be the guy that misses today…
Be the guy that goes back to camp and does his best Captan Morgan pose as you tell your story to your buddies!
. Best of luck to y’all!
