Opening day of the buck season started off with a bang for us at 6:45 a.m. My son (usually semi-cool under pressure) missed a deer first thing monday part human error part shaken hunter syndrome. The morning became more eventful at 9:45 a.m when he downed his first doe of the season. The blurry video reflects the hunt ( I know it is blurry but if you concentrate enough you can actually see it all transpire) one down two more to go. At around 11:00 or 12:00 we moved to another tree stand on the property. We ate and soaked the rest of the day in when another doe walked out around 50 yards out with Hudson connecting again with 2 deer down it is a good day. When I got home I found out that my 2 nephew's shot 3 deer around the Milford, Pike county area. Travis shot a 8 pointer, 1/2 hour later Blake shot a doe, then Travis shot another doe, and a friend named Joe shot a 4 pointer to round out their day. The bigger buck listed above was a deer shot in New Britain Township on opening day,what a monster, and to top he is not even in first place at the big buck contest at Nanny's deli in Tylersport P.A. he is in third. Friday was the next day my son and I got to hunt. With the day uneventful it makes the Sat. morning wake up a lot harder to bear. With the shower's completed and the dressing completed we felt better about waking up. With 15 minutes till opening day light we heard rustling but when daylight came nothing stood in front of us. Around 6:50 we saw a doe hit the field a good sign that deer are moving my friend Kevin saw a buck and 5 does and he shot one of the does around 7:00 a.m. With the first deer down and a lot of day left My son and I nestled in for a long day in the tree stand. Shooting in the morning was busy in Bucks county this morning with the most hunters in the woods this day deer moving should not be a issue be patient and you will see them. We did not see another deer until 8:50 in the morning. At 10:30 my son and I took a walk to break up the day getting back in the stand resulted in turkey sandwiches and drinks. With food in the stomach it's time to sleep. We sat for another 1.5 hours and I noticed a deer coming through the trees. Idid not sleep after lunch but my son was out like a light so I had to wake him up to "there is a deer and it is a buck". A short scramble for the gun and finding the deer in the scope he missed with the first shot confused on the situation the buck stood there so I gave him the 870 with iron sights 3 shots later the buck was his (he hit it 2 times). What a great conclusion to a great week
