It is a balmy 19 degree this morning. Holy Cow...it's 30° here and I thought that was bad. I'm debating my decisions to walk past my old man shack to sit in a different tree stand. Have a Great hunt this morning

Was in my stand by 7;05 and had a buck walk by less than 10 minutes later but too early to shoot. Too dark to tell how big he was but maybe he'll meander on back sometime later today. Then had three does follow the same path as the but but still to dark to make a good shot. Would rather pass on a shot than take a chance on wounding a deer. It's opening day so have plenty of time left.

As we speak Governor Walz is across the road for the Minnesota Governors Opener. I sure hope he's careful and avoids Big Bertha, the black bear.

Well if anything happens, I'll supply all the Tum's Big Burtha needs for a speedy recovery.

My house is directly across the street from the hunt zone.
I have not heard a single gunshot all day.
They are probably suppressing all the real hunters to accommodate Super Tim.

Did they keep the spot secret like the fishing opener to avoid all the protesters?

Nothing new there, placed birds for his pheasant hunt a couple years ago,...good photo shoot,...he still wants your guns!

The exact spot, yes.
The location of Three Rivers Park Reserve, not so much. ~5000 acres within a few counties in the northwest metro offers a bit of hiding space.
I was really suspicious that I heard no shooting all day, so i did a little sneaking around. I found a very few hunters with the expected very few kills. Something was happening, but pretty selective.

Someone post a picture of a deer. I forgot what one looks like I've heard more poachers shooting over the years than I heard shots today.

This has got to be one of the most quiet deer openers in this area I have ever heard. There was hardly any shooting at all. Deer are not moving very much here. It was quiet here too. The three of us saw about 15 deer total, 5 of them small bucks. My Neice's boyfriend shot his first buck. No tracking and no dragging so did well by my account!
I have nothing clever to put here.

I seen one buck and 3 does, all well before legal shooting time. Very few shots right away in the morning then none the rest of the day. One of my neighbors blames in on wolves but it seems like it's been very quiet all over. Several hunters I talked to today said opener has never been this quiet in the past 40 years. Somethings up but I don't know what it is.
