Who is hunting opening day of bow season?

[Comanche]

Yes, I’ll be bright eyed and bushy tailed and most likely 30’ up a tree by 4:30am on private property.
This will be my first day hunting since my Wife passed.
Maybe a monster will come by my stand.

She'll be with you. How have you been doing?

Doing okay…thanks for asking man.

Staying busy as possible to keep my mind and body occupied.
Ramped my business back up .
Take my frustration out on splitting firewood by maul.
Knocked out six cords recently with about 2 more trees worth to go.
Freaking white oak fibers suck.

Good days and bad days major adjustment for sure going from having it all on the perfect woman scale
To having nothing.
It’s a hard pill to swallow.
Staying strong for my grandkids and staying in shape for the apolcalypse…lol.

Hang in there. You'll find your new normal. Hopefully you see your family regularly. My Dad lost his wife of 47yrs at 80yrs old at the time. I make sure he sees family a few times a week. Same with my Mother in Law. She was 86 when her husband died. There is life beyond. Hopefully you let God help you along as well

 

[CIAO BELLA!]

I'll be out there
got one on opening day but no velvet

Is he grey or is that the contrast?

Beautiful coat. I would mount that if it were me.

We only have meccican’ deer round here. (Brown)

Yes to all that.
I visit my mother in law frequently to knock out honey do lists for her.

You sure he wasn’t jealous of that bad ass gray beard and wanted to admire a real life wizard up close?

Hahaha….just having fun.

Yeah I’ve seen such a cool variety of deer up here from your standard Georgia clay dirt reddish brown to gray to dark chocolate brown.
I was hunting a fresh oak deadfall that still had leaves intact and a super dark chocolate spike literally came in behind me and jig stepped and ducked his way meandering through the branch labyrinth to get to the other side until he was right next to me.
We
Looked at eachother and he jumped out of his skin and bolted…haha.

the Bucks I've seen the last few days have no Velvet, NW Bartow

 

[Comanche]

Just had these guys come through my back yard.
Little buck is still in velvet.
I’ll be busting that doe most likely.

Almost a guarantee this dude that has been hunting from a blind in my neighbor’s back yard will shoot this buck.
There are so many deer around here but these goof balls refuse to let these young bucks mature.
This buck has been extremely immature and I’ve snuck up in him twice now.
He came by last night with a herd of nine deer about 20’seconds after I got done bucking a log with my chainsaw.
I can almost guarantee the dude across the street will bust him.
Ain’t no talking to the guy either because he’s a freaking psycho.
