Well, I got my first deer opening day this weekend. I wasnt able to get out for the morning hunt, but the evening hunt went quite well. Bagged a big doe, dressed out at 132lbs. I think I am addicted now!!

    Oh yea, Im addicted!!!! I spent well over 300.00 getting ready for this years season. It was the first year I bow hunted and I went all out. New camies, new arrow rest, new sights, new arrows, new stand, and not to mention all the nick nack stuuf one needs for season (lures, calls, etc) But It was all worth it! I have been sucked in!

    uh-oh, carson. You failed to mention that it was your first year hunting. It'll be about 3 more before you shoot another one.
