Had a fun opening day yesterday in NWOH despite not getting one on the ground. The really weird thing was how little shooting we heard around the area and saw almost zero orange
I heard a half dozen shots (nothing close by) all morning yesterday.
Neighbor only heard my 2 shots….
Nothing like the days when it sounded like WW3….
 
Been in since 2:45, bumped a small buck on the way in. He came back in along with 2 doe fawns and a mature doe a half an hour ago. Mature doe never got close enough, and I didn’t want to shoot a fawn. They all wandered off. I should’ve shot a fawn 😂 But hey, it’s early and they may come back through. Or get shot by a gun across the street. We’ll see.

Good call on the fawn, not enough venison there for my liking

I'm taking the day off. Whopped.

Get that lottery deer
 
Been in since 3ish. Had a few does through here around 11:30/noon and I’m really hoping they come back through. I would’ve been in earlier, but I ran across a fresh blood trail that I followed for longer and further than I should have. I marked it and will continue to follow it after dark. No boot prints following it, and seemed to be a great trail. It came from across the street on public so not sure what the story is there, didn’t see any trucks parked that were hunting so I dunno. May shoot a fawn doe if given the opportunity, these mature does are making it far more difficult than I would’ve guessed 😂
