First Season Deer Hunt

[FISHINGFARMER]

Was wondering how everyone's first shotgun season went?

Didn't see that many hunters over the weekend as usual, or does everyone have tags for second season this year. Lets hear the stories fellows!

Cold weather kept most either home, or in the trucks.

Not many hunters out around here, either. I think they either are waiting for snow, or went to southern iowa.

My nephew did shoot his first buck, saturday morning, about 9:30.

Just got back late last night from SW Iowa. Had a great trip other than the wind was never less than 20 mph at any given time over the 4 days we were there. My hunting partner took a nice 154 inch 11 point on opening day evening. We messured the deer ourselves so this is probably off by a little. He also took a doe yesterday to fill his last tag. I took a medium 8 point on the first afternoon. and a small doe to finish off my tags. We saw 250 to 300 deer in the 4 days we were there.

I will try to post some picks of the bucks if I can when I get them downloaded.

Good luck to those of you hunting the second season.
