I'm waiting on my relief to get to the station so I call haul butt home and grab my rifle & binos and get in the blind.
No doubt about the AR crap, just damn shame hunters don't have self control and knowledge

Just got a little rain shower in Lee county. Headed to the blind now. Good luck to all.

Got home from work after mindnight. Set my alarm for 415. Got up at 505. On my way to the farm now. Not as early as I hoped, but plenty early.

Had to be at the Sportsmen center on Ft Hood at 0300 to check in with guide then we convoyed to our area around 430. Been sitting in the blind for the last 45 min. Ready for the dang sun to come up. Not sure why they wanted us here so early if legal shooting light isn't until 0720

Do the guides stay with you, or just drop folks off?

Well I am about to load things in the Ranger and head to the blind. Will be mainly shooting with camera this morning unless a hog or coyote decides to crash the party this morning. I will ruin their day if they do. It will be interesting to see how the deer are moving from an elevated rifle blinds with good views vs. my archery ground blinds with limited views. I was seeing a lot of deer the past 2 weeks with the deer really hitting feed since it has gotten so dry here.
Are idiots multiplying faster than normal people?

About to head out with the wife. I'm hoping she gets a big buck, I am really hoping the one my son missed during youth season will re-appear.
For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

Do the guides stay with you, or just drop folks off? they just tell you where to park and then tell you where the blind is and then leave. More of a partial guided hunt. Can't wait to see how many idiots shoot illegal less than 13 in bucks. They pound it into our heads don't shoot unless your sure and every year there are like 10-15 illegal deer killed.

My opening weekend hunting plans have been completely derailed by work... Having a boss who is a bit of an outdoorsman, and being his favorite employee has its perks. Got the whole weekend off, and he scheduled me off early on Wednesday so I can make a quick run for an afternoon hunt. Last year I was in your shoes.

Somebody not far from me just shot at something, and I'm not sure how. It's legal shooting time, but it's still too dark to see what you are shooting at. Hopefully it was a pig or something.

Last year I had it set for 8 all during the off season and changed it on daylight savings day. I forgot that this year.

Got home and made it to the blind just before 7. It had just started drizzling when I left the station and turned into a solid rain within 15 min of driving. Still raining here in SW VanZandt county. No movement yet... Gonna try to stay in blind til 11 or so

Not much movement at our place this morning. 3 little bucks and 3 does so far. Light rain on the roof is just about to put me to sleep.

My little buck that got his heart broken by the girls this morning is comforting himself by cleaning up my corn. Rain is back. I could take a nap.
