We had a great opening day today bucks are pushing does hard. I saw bucks fighting pushing doe and everything else. Alot of deer. Passed on multiple bucks throughout the day. 2 that for this area are shooters for most. But I know what is lurking around every tree. Its about dark im sitting there the three bucks and a couple doe I was watching wonder off. Then it happens a doe runs up the hill into the field. Automatically im like buck is pushing her. I get ready there he is one of the bucks I know are there. Atleast 20 inch spread goos mass for the area looks to be 8 to 10 pt but at that point who is counting I see spread mass and aged body. He is standing towards me no shot looking for the doe. Takes 10 steps back broadside. Im thinking here we go baby. I ready take a shot and nothing stands there like nothing happend. Still looking for his Mrs. So I ready and shoot another he is about 150 to 175 for both shots. Nothing. Looks around and puts his tail up. Sees his mate and takes off after her. I checked very well but no blood. Im sick. What a day. Im pumped to get out tomorrow after another or maybe love will let me seehim again. Im going to have nightmares tonight lol
