T Minus 4 days till the green flag drops. My wife's birthday is actually on opening day this year. She plans to sit with her daughter and shoot something if she can. A doe if need be.
My youngest doesn't gun hunt yet so he will sit this season out. Oldest and me will sit down by the pond which has had zero hunting pressure or activity and is the most remote place on my property. We will sit in separate stands about 120 yards apart. Really excited to get out there even though I don't think I'll shoot anything. Would need to be a nice buck. My boy will be hunting with my tag party tag rules if he shoots a buck so I told him he better not burn my tag on a dink. LOL

I will be sitting in blind hoping that this guy gives me an opportunity. I have saw him 3 times, 1st time he came out after shooting hours, 2nd time didn't give me a shot and last Saturday in the rain , just not close enough. Probably won't pull the trigger on any other buck with the rifle except for him.

I have basically done nothing this year, so on a plus side haven't spooked anything by being around too much. I'm shooting the first nice sized body deer I see...I want venison snack sticks. If it happens to have a nice set of antlers bonus Edit: I am optimistic

If it happens to have a nice set of antlers bonus Edit: I am optimistic I have no game in the freezer whatsoever. I also like venison sticks. I’ll be shooting a doe if I can.

I am down a vehicle due to truck being in Body shop from deer collision so I won't be hunting this week until gun opener. My son will be sitting in Shadow Hunter blind on other food plot with his step son. They can shoot any thing except only my son can shoot the Big One if it comes out in their plot. I don't want the Big One wounded and it is way too big of a buck for a thirteen year old to shoot for a 1st deer in my opinion. My son in law will be sitting with me,he just wants venison for freezer but will have to wait for the very last minute because if the Big One comes out I am shooting it. Call me selfish but I am getting older and don't know how many more chances I will have at a buck of this caliber. Probably won't see it but everyone that is hunting with us knows my thoughts. My wife is going to hunt after Thanksgiving.

Don't you also have a brand new truck or am I thinking of someone else?

My wife still works, she is a few years younger than me.. She will be retiring Feb.1, 2021 She might get a little upset if I told her she had to find her own ride to work. Lol I know I should be hunting this week but I had a few things to get taken care of this week.
