Fewest shots on an opening weekend that I can remember and we've been hunting here 15 years.
We saw a few small bucks and no chasing.
Extremely slow

Not surprised with this weather. Hope things impove over the week. Keep us posted.
I heard around 20 by 8 am. I always like to keep count. Got down at 8 and went and helped a buddy with a deer he shot.
Nice deer
It sounded like ww3 over here in the western edge of Christian Co I stopped counting at 50 that was around 8:00.
I'm hunting in Christian county on hwy 91 not far from Caldwell County line

Christian Co and no one has killed. Weather has been crap so far. 0 chasing. My guess is peak rut is about 4-7 days from now. In a groundblind today!

Heard 15 at my place, that's fewer than normal. Morning was very slow two friends hunted the afternoon & saw more deer but nothing crazy
Short hunt this morning before church and saw 0
Trying to decide if I want to sneak out between the heavier rain showers

Northern Christian Co. had right at 30 shots by 8:00. Low from last year's total of 86 by 8:30. I'm not counting that shot I took on the 10.
Bucks around the house here started pushing does around the 1st. I watched a really good 9 last weekend push a doe all over my property. Luckily he stayed out of bow range. The 10 yesterday morning was tending a doe. He never appeared to be pushing her, they just stayed in close proximity for a good 20 minutes before he presented a clean shot. I love watching the different phases of the rut and how it progresses.

Awesome buck!
My buddy killed a big 8 pt at 2pm Saturday. We carried him to the taxidermist and he said the kill was way down. Said he had 3 times as many bucks on opening day of archery than gun opener. Back at it today after the Sunday washout.
That's a great looking buck, congrats to your son .

Hope things improve with some cooler weather.
If someone has punched a buck tag and needs another killed, my son still has an unused KY buck tag from our quota hunt trip.
