Well I was out in the stand for a total of 1 1/2 hours on opening day and shot this 10pt.  It started off with the alarm not going off and my buddy waking me up with a bang on the door. What you see int he picture was what I was wearing in the stand.  That's right blue jeans and camo coat and hat.    I had a spike buck I could have shot about 8 different times at 7AM.  Then while playing on my phone this guy was stand behind me at 15 yards.  I put the phone down, picked up the bow, and pulled the trigger.  By the way that is the entrance hole from a 2 blade Rage.  The blood trail could have been followed by a blind man.  45 yards later their he laid.  It was a great morning, but the bad part is now I'm done for the year.  However I do have this one friend ;) who might let my wife sit in one of his stands, which will allow me to get out in the woods again this year.



P.S. I de-boned the deer that morning and brought the meat in that same day.  I also got a call today that it's ready to be picked up.  I know what's for supper tomorrow :happy1:
