Yea, we had the windows up because it was so windy. I didn't think we would even see anything with how windy it was, and the wind wasn't in our favor either, the wind was at our back blowing right towards the deer. It is only 1/8" plexiglass though, idk how much that would effect a slug's trajectory. With the way the Hornady's jump anyways, it might not matter.

Hornady SST 12 ga Shotgun:

50 yds- +2.4"
100 yds- +2.7"
150 yds- flat
200 yds- -6.7"

Went out for the first time ever this weekend. The deer gods must've been smilin' on me. Had a trophy 8 pointer shot through the lung and on the ground by 9:30am Saturday.

Poor bastard was blinded by the poonanny.

3 pointer is from last year. 8 pointer from this Sat.
I've been very lucky. Shot both opening day before 8:30 a.m. of each year.
3 pointer was used for a rattle. 8 pointer is going on the wall.
3 pointer took two to the heart before dropping. 8 pointer took one to the throat and one to the gut from a neighbor who can't shoot for shit before he went down.

Nice deer guys!

I went up to Marcel MN, past Grand Rapids on Friday morning through last night. Had a ton of fun with my dad and 2 other guys, but we all got skunked. I saw 6 deer (all does and 2 were fawns) the entire trip, but none I had a good shot at. The other guys saw a couple a piece, but they were either running full sprint past them or they were directly behind their stand walking past. This happened to me too with 2 of the does, but I couldn't turn fast enough before they took off.

It was tough hunting for sure, especially in thick swampy woods with the wind howling at 20mph the entire trip. But still had a blast and will be out there possibly again this weekend closer to the cities for a day.

Otherwise I have WI opener to look forward to in a couple of weeks. Ill be hunting near hudson, so that wont be too far away. Going to go quite a bit, so hopefully we get one.

I was amazed at how much the deer were moving with how strong the wind was this last weekend. Usually they will hunker down for at least a few days until they finally get desperate and come out to show their face. Or if bucks get good and horny and stupid while they are in hard rut they will come out regardless, but where I was we saw probably 6-8 different does and probably 3 more yearlings, not one buck, and they were still moving.

got my first deer/buck(spiker) opening morning at about 8:30 from a stand we had set up the night before because i hadn't seen anything out of my perminat stand for the last 2 years.

I know that is the only reason I got mine. He was chasing a doe loud as hell, snortin' and stompin' around. Thought he was going to jump into my stand. I had to yell to get him to stop twice. 2nd time he gave me a perfect shot at around 20 yds. The fawker was covered in piss :lol:
