Post up your opening morning report

[BTLowry]

Misty, foggy, cool damp morning here in Northern Smith county

Saw 9 deer and a bunch of pigs but nothing presented a shot

Was getting down at 9:45 and pigs showed up. Got bow reeled back up and got ready but they stayed out of range and behind a tree. Wind swirled just a tad and one winded me and away they went

5 of the deer I saw busted out of the wood line across the field a couple minutes after the squirrels and Jay's started raising cane. Suspect bobcat or coyote but never got any kind of visual.

Feeder didn't go off so I am about to go disc and plant food plots and check and see what the problem with feeder is

Rain made it a easy decision to stay at home and work. Maybe this afternoon but It's going to be a muddy mess and haven't decided if I want to deal with that or not. The rut is on though as it is every year opening weekend at my place.

Had a young Doe come in and that was about it, saw a few others moving in the background.

Rain in Victoria County kept me home today. Hopefully it lets up enough to make it out later

I got to see a few young doe and a 1-1/2 year old 6 pt this morning in Mills County. No rain yet.

Liberty county no rain in the morning. Had 3 groups of hogs come in shot a sal from the last group.

Not even a squirrel spotted in western Nacogdoches county for me, and where I was at was perfect for the eastern wind we had. Surprising, since it’s usually 400 pics a week of mostly pigs.

Only thing in Wimberly area was rain. Got in blind at 5:20 am, and heard a couple of snorts around 5:35 am, but nothing else. Out of blind at 9:45 am, and went to Cabelas to get some arrows cut. At home and thinking real serious about a nap!!

In the ground blind at 5:00 am. Sprinkled as I was hiking out, but pretty much stopped as I got in. Feeder went off at 7:00. I really like having that couple of hours in the dark. Feeder was covered up by 7:05. Mostly does with fawns, three bucks of age, and a pair of buttons. Shooting light came and I had my mark, a 6 point cull. I watched for a while having the internal doe/buck debate, but finally decided on him. As I drew, a doe walked behind him and I stayed at full draw for several minutes while she lingered. Let it fly at 24 yards once the doe moved. Slight quarter away and he attempted to jump the string. I feared I gut-shot, clearly seeing the arrow sticking out as he was ran. I heard a crash well within 50 yards, so I finished off a thermos of coffee and took my time packing up just in case. I didn't see any blood once I got over the impact spot so I walked to the treelike and spotted him motionless just a few yards in. Cleaned him up and discovered that I hit liver/lung/shoulder and snapped the broadhead off (Spitfire on a piledriver, btw). I had managed to just nick the stomach. Not a shot I'm exactly proud of, but was fortunate for a quick drop and clean recovery. Rain hit HARD just as I was pulling out of the processor. Realized once I got home that it was my first success with the vertical bow. Think I'll make an evening sit if the rain stops...
