Went out this to get the season going,a bit early but going out of town for awhile so figured what the heck, not worth anything anyway.34 degrees so felt like hunting time. Did a couple stands with nothing so went to my go to spot and around 7-8 minutes had one on the way. If I’d had a shotgun could’ve wacked him a few feet from the caller. As it was he did dodged out of there and I whooped at him a couple times before he showed up behind some tall sage. 45 yds drt 40 grn v-max at 3400. Prolly 200 yds from where I got my first one last year.

And here I’m excited we’re supposed to hit maybe 66-67 degrees for the low Thursday morning! Haven’t seen the 60’s since May I believe.
Sounds like a great fall day to be out calling. We'll get there in 6-8 weeks or so.

Thinking about going out and doing a few stands first thing in the morning. It’s hot, but my trigger finger is itchin’.

Almost got hit the other day and not going out until I get some snake boots or it cools WAY down. How it missed me I have no clue. Ended up shooting it from about 3ft away. Sorta got me spooked, lol!!
We have a bit of a warmup here this week 45 for lows mid 70’s for highs not bad, better for fishing though. Think I’m gonna take a friend’s kid out and get him some practice behind the thermal to get him ready for action. Give him some shots off the tripod at 100 yds see what kind of groups he gets.
