I'm going to stay up late the night before drinking whiskey, sleep until 0700 and have breakfast ready when everyone gets in from hunting while having a Bloody Mary. That's been my opening day for the last 20 years. I haven't been that mad at the deer in a long time.

I worked hard this off season moving my blind and putting it up 4ft on 4x4 posts, I cleared 50 yards in two directions to create two new shooting lanes. I'm sleeping in that damn blind, getting up and shooting either a doe or buck opening morning........I hope

That's my weekend to work. Head to the ranch for Thanksgiving and shoot an Axis buck that we've been seeing. No serious deer hunting until around Christmas.

I've mostly been getting doe on my trail cam, we've been putting out corn for the deer in a old oat patch we planted one year, Usually 5-6 doe pass through.
But there was a fresh rub on a little pine sapling about 30 yards away from the stand and He really got into it too!

After a few of us tag a few, we go back - clean and quarter, then sit down to a nice dove/migas breakfast that the girls cook while we were cleaning the harvest!

mmmmmmm dove migas.

I hope to get up after a busy and fun Friday before opening day. Our Friday consists of lots and lots of beer and komocasi shooters. Get to the blind just before light and look out the windows until light enough. I'll end up shooting a hog because the full moon at night kept the deer bedded in the morning. Then start drinking after the morning hunt, take a nap in the afternoon and hunt in the afternoon and shoot more hogs.

Hunting in my new 2 man elevated blind that I just completed. Looking down a 50 ft wide sendero that stretches for 1/4 mile. It's a buck hwy during the rut. I will be rattling and I will be hungover.

Hopefully in Walker County. Trying for a doe or spike. Bummer that Deer and Duck don't open the same weekend this year.

Up early to enjoy the morning coffee and some type of quick breakfast. In the stand before daylight and shoot a 12 or 13 pointer I have watched for a while now. Back to camp for a manly breakfast and hope to see success by other hunters. Will be a good day!
