It was a nice morning, so the wife and I decided to go for a drive to see all the shotgun boys having fun this morning.
We drove up to the Conestoga lake area (MNU80) and drove all around.
Saw a couple of trucks parked but nothing like usual on opening day.
Went to one spot where I knew a guy had a stand. 3 of them were at the road when we got there. They were just getting ready to look for a buck one had shot.
After we drove all over and only saw three more guys by a truck.
We didn't see anybody pushing bushes, usually there is orange all over the place across the fields at the edges of bushes.
I have a shotgun permit, but didn't hunt. I have shot 2 bucks in 3 outings with the Exomag. One a button, and the other a 7 pointer.
Both from the ground, one about 8yds the other about 10yds. Both dropped on the spot.
The first one I hadn't been in my spot 10mins.
So I have been really lucky this year. I think my average is 1 deer every 20 hunts.
Usually end up making tag soup.
I will probably get out Fri & Sat when my buddy Vern gets back from the rifle hunt.
Where are all the shotgunners?

Congratulations on the pair.
If i'm not hunting i'm fishing, and if i'm not fishing i'm wishing.
