Beautiful crisp, clear, and fairly calm morning here. No deer seen yet. Squirrels are very active already.

49th consecutive opening day.
1990 in Dekalb Co. storms were coming, wind was howling and thunder was in the distance. 5:55 am a buck comes through the low gap i was in and runs right under me, its not hardly light but I see the curve of his rack as he turned his head up to look at me. I really cant see the sights very well but I shot, the fire coming out of that Winchester 30-30 was 3 feet long! I missed and I saw him skylighted as he crossed the ridge, nice 8pt. 20 min later a downpour started with lightning and everything.

31 degrees when I climbed in the stand. Had a broke rack buck following a doe and gave me an easy shot but let him walk. He was broke on the right main beam just past the g2. Had 4 on the other side so assume he started as an 8 but a broke 6 now.

Just had a very close shot that may have been on the edge of my property if not on me. Close enough my wife text me asking if I shot. Guess when I get down i will be doing some walking and checking.

About a perfect morning, but so far i haven't seen squat.

I've seen 4 bucks and 4 does all within the last 30 mins. Biggest being a 125-130" 8 pt that showed up a few days ago. Had him at 40 yards. Also seen an above average 6 pt.

Quite this morning at Ft Knox...

Activity here has been much better the last hour or so. Have seen several. Had a decent buck move through after a group of does about 45 minutes ago, but never had a clear opportunity.

More shots this morning than I have heard on an opener in a long time.
