Lets start this thread on what everybody is seeing out there.

this morning I seen one solitary deer in the fog no telling what it was. about sunrise I seen a 8 point about 110 feeding on clover in front of me. also 1 skunk, and several coon rambling through at 730. lots of acorns dropping

[buckhunter21]

Didnt see a thing this morning. Could only sit until 830 and I couldnt take the mosquitoes anymore, otherwise I woulda stuck it out a little longer. O well ill be back there again tonight.

Try a Thermocell for the bug problems. One could also purchase a bug tamer jacket, they work great.

Dropped uncle off spooked one out as I left him. It snuck in behind us. Went to my stand and heard two coons chattering as they walked away. Picked my uncle out he saw a flock of Crows and a hunter. Posted property and the guy came in and set up down from him. We'll see what happens later.

Wensday was a funny even for me. got out around 5:15 and as I come over the hill in bean field theres a nice ten ptr about 50 yards from my stand. Figures. Whats he doing out that early especially with the warmth. Later that evening mama and four cubs come strutting by. I wonder why she has so many cubs with her, maybe something happend to the other mama. some does and fawns later thats it.

one deer, flock of pheasant, flock of crows, a couple flocks of geese, one lone flying duck, and too many mosquitoes.

[buckhunter21]

Saw a small 6 pointer and a yearling tonight. Im gonna try it again in the morning and then gotta work until friday, hopefully some cooler temps will help out for next weekend.

[HUNTINGBAILEY]

I saw one doe on the road driving in the car to my stand and one owl and 3 toms on the same road when I was leaving to go home.

[Esoxmn]

I saw mosquitos, and too many squirels to count.

[buckx37x]

I gotta say the thermocells do work, could not believe it.I had very little mosquit trouble. it sure was nice not to be eatin by them ! things.

[HunterLee]

Shot a big doe at 15yards at about 730 tonight. Just finished eating some of her to. Good way to start the year.

[FatDan]

no deer in the morning just turkeys and tonight something like 20 deer all doe's and fawn's I missed a doe at dark clean miss so that was good.

[archerystud]

No deer for me either. Oh wait, I was either in an airport or a plane all of opening day.

Keep the logs rolling at least I can hunt through you guys until I get back home!

[tracker x-2]

Tried my new ladder stand this morning. I saw a doe and a fork buck about 60 yards away watched them for a while then seen a few roosters. Although he was not a shooter it sure is nice seeing a buck while out there. one thing i dont like about the ladder stand is that if the wind blows to hard it kinda flex's and makes a few squeaks. other than that had a few close calls with some birds now its off to school for another week .

[buckx37x]

3-coon this morn. no deer. maybe tonight?

[spivak]

Acorns plopping all around me yesterday. Squirrels and chipmunks crashing about. Heard squirrels chattering and a red fox trotted by my stand. Had a doe just about to step out of cover at 15 yards, but she fed the other way. 4 deer came through just at dark last night. Hunting the Duluth city hunt this year. Some nice intact woods. Pileated buzzed me. Chickadees scrutinizing me.

[Wanderer]

Good job HunterLee.

Gotta agree - a great way to start out.

[alwaysonthemove]

tonight I seen 1 little fork feeding on some acorns underneath me. HE came by rather early 7 or so. Also observed 2 doe's and 2 fawns feeding in the alfalfa. the coon were back tonight I actually through an acorn at it and the darn thing ate it. LOL

[Jameson]

4 hours on the stand this evening. Seen one lousy gray squirrel.

[MikeEiden]

Had a nice big doe come into my 15yd x 15yd plot in the woods but this ol' doe had my number almost right away. She pounded her feet and tried to smell me but couldn't. She grazed for a second and seemed to relax a little but eventually grew tired of trying to get me to move and ran off into the brush to watch me from there. Stood like a statue but minutes later she left blowing the whole way making sure no one else would come around.

Stinks getting busted first evening out!!

[koonie]

Two squirrels, an eagle, and a mouse or vole.

[huntnfish]

Nothing but squirrels and chipmunks for me. It was nice to get out but I think I'm going to wait to go out again when the weather cools a bit.
