Opening Day

Or Christmas...
As I like to refer to it is today! I had an absolutely lousy morning! I slept like crap and kept waking up every hour or so to see if it was time and then I got up and everything went fine! I got to my stand, climbed up in and got my new strap on and went to put my head mask on and knocked my glasses off and they fell out of the tree stand! I can't see without my glasses! Ten deer could walk by me and I would never see them! I waited until it got light enough to see and climbed down and looked for them! I couldn't find them and finally got pissed off and ran back to the house. I put my contacts in and got back out there and then promptly heard two shots right behind me! I waited for a few minutes to see if anything would come by me then went out to make sure it wasn't Dad shooting! I got back to my stand, got strapped in and my phone starts vibrating! I answer it and it is Dad and he has just shot a buck! I climb down, go get my car and go find Dad who has already found the deer- a nice, fat 4 point buck! We gut his deer out, I drag it out of the woods for him and load it in my car then go to show my kids and tag his deer! I just got home, stripped off my absolutely soaked clothes and am having a cup of coffee! The spot I have planned for tonight is my honey spot! If the weather stays like this, I should have no problem at least seeing some deer tonight! I did find my glasses, too! They fell out of my tree stand and hung on a branch! I felt like an idiot this morning! One deer down, one to go! Later
