Ended up seeing a decent 3 year old 8 and a fork horn about 10 mins before dark.thought about shooting the 8 but I know there are better ones here. that was a looooong 12 hour sit on stand, time to eat some stew and catch some sleep. I'll be back at it in the morning and if a doe comes within 40 yards she's gettin shot at. Congrats to everyone who harvested something on opening day!!!

Awesome!

Just got back from Cahaba WMA. No cell service while there. Saw 6 does and 3 fawns. BUT the highlight of my day came around 3 PM.

I decided to get down around 2 PM to scout another area and put my cameras out where I was hunting a particular buck last year. I had to clear a path that I used last year just to get to the location so I'm making quite a bit of noise getting through there. I finally get to the spot where last years scraps and rubs were and the bucks trail was noticeably still used because it's worn down more than it was last year so I'm excited at this point. Now all I need to do is get this camera strapped on then I'm backing out.

While strapping the camera to the tree I hear a very loud stick SNAP right behind me, it startled me because I was so focused on being quiet, as I turned around I see a large doe running full speed straight at me! I just froze and things start to happen in slow motion lol. As I jumped out of my boots she takes a hard left literally about 5 feet away from me and keeps trucking. It happened so fast I didn't know what to think.

I figured she was already running on the trail I was placing the camera on and didn't see me, then when she scared me I turned and scared her at the same time. I think me and her both about crapped ourselves.

She was one of the does I saw earlier in the morning but she had her fawn with her then. I knew it was her because she is the lightest colored doe I've ever seen and was noticeably older.

Ended up jumping a doe on the way in, and had one come under my stand right after dark. Try again tomorrow.

Congrats yall!

Congrats to those who connected! And I'm jealous of all of you who were in the woods, whether you killed one or not!

Buddy of mine is looking for one now, first deer with a bow, wish I was able to help him track it... Sounds like they were moving this afternoon.

Beautiful afternoon in the woods and I had a doe and fawn bed down 35 yards from my stand for a spell. That was all the action I got except for a coon running down the creek right about dark. It's great to be back in the stand though.

mackdaddy, you're killing me man, post some pics for the people at work. congrats

No joke. I've been checking this thread every few minutes hoping to see what he killed!

His post had nothing to do with deer. He's over at Jamal's house and got mixed up on what forum he was posting in

Hmmm

Way to get it done guys on the opening day kills. Makes it that much harder for us in southern zone seeing all these kills and having to wait another 10 days.
