Opening Weekend

               Well it wasn’t a very successful opening weekend for me this year.  I didn’t see anything.  Waking up early that Friday morning was pretty refreshing though, I haven’t got to go out in the morning since October 1^st, opening day of bow hunting.  Walking out with my muzzleloader and my big bubba mug full of coffee was just about perfect.  The fact that on my way out I saw the one thing I didn’t want to see, my blind had folded in upon itself, and with the wind blowing as roughly as it was, putting it back up was no easy task.  Further into my morning I also spilled doe pee on myself so if you have ever smelt doe pee you would know that it is not the most pleasant thing in the world.   I have to say though, it was nice sitting out, and if you don’t have at least one thing go wrong, what fun is that?

                After I came in from my hunt I made my way over to the not so deer camp we were doing.  A couple of my friends got in trouble so they stayed home from their original deer camp so we had to do a mini one.  We all got back around the same time and started playing cards and sharing stories about our outings.  We ate and drank like kings and it actually turned out to be a pretty decent time.  Like me they did not see much of anything either.  In a way that is a good thing because we had a bet going on between our work crew that whoever shot the biggest buck would get 50 bucks from each person.  Luckily none of them shot a deer either or else to add to my crappy opening weekend I would have to pay someone the money that I don’t have.

                I also had to help track one of my buddy’s deer a couple days before season opened up.  We tracked it for about 3 miles before realizing and getting told that it went into a guy’s woods who wasn’t about to let us go in there.  It is a real shame, the deer was a nice six point but that type of stuff happens. 

Hopefully this next week I can get something to walk in front of me.  Whatever is walking around out there is walking and eating at night because all of my beets are just ate to hell.  I am not sure when or what but I am positive that I am going to get something.
