From the stand
osage outlaw:
How about a thread to post pictures and updates from the stand.
So far all I've seen is a huge flock of migrating blackbirds.

I started out in the dark in my stump pile natural blind. Had a chipmunk try to climb my leg. Stayed there till 10:00 when a steady drizzle chased me to my gun blind. I stayed there till it let up about noon. Then sat in closest tree stand till I got chased to my gun blind again about 1:00. At 1:45 my big buck was under my tree stand presenting a beautiful shoot. Unfortunately I wasn't in my tree stand so I just watched him graze there for about 5 min. till he slipped back out the same way he came in. At about 2:45 it let up enough I got back in my closest tree stand again. At 5:37 a doe and 2 fawns came out by the stand the big buck had been by. A few min. Later another doe and 2 fawns came out, they all started making there way towards me but never got closer than about 45 yards. At 7:15 it was getting close to dark and started to rain again so I walked home in the rain. No meat in the freezer but not a bad 1st opening day even if the weather was less than perfect.

PS I got a picture of the chipmunk but my photo bucket is full. Not sure what it cost to up grade it or if I can delete a bunch of pictures and post again. Gotta do something got a bow I want to post too.

Sounds like you had a frustrating day. All I saw tonight was birds.
I started a new photobucket account when mine got full.
bjrogg:
It could have been worst, was actually nice to see "my buck" and that stand is in a good place if the wind is right which it was today to bad it was raining. The seasons just begun so maybe there'll be some better days. I didn't really think it was going to be easy.
