Saturday December 6th was opening day of shotgun season for whiletail deer in Iowa. It was a wonderful and beautiful morning with temperatures in the teens and gusts of wind that took the heat right out of you. I went to AJ's parents house again to hunt this year. Thanks to Al and Roberta for opening up their home to me. Roberta gets a big extra thanks for the fabulous breakfast, lunch and dinner she made. It warmed us up when we came in from the chilly weather. Al, you get thanks for the Pepsi (I still owe you a dollar and you'll never see a dime of it).
We hunted from 630am to 930am. Saw a few deer but nothing in shooting range.
Then we went out from about 11am to 1pm. I took 1 shot at a doe but missed completely. For some reason, I just couldnt see the red dot on the scope. More about that later.
We hunted from about 3pm to 500pm. Didnt see anything. Just got more cold. That was the end of hunting for day 1. AJ's bro-in-law was the only one to shoot anything all day (a doe).
As for the red dot. I found out that the reason I couldnt see the dot was because the batteries were dead. They were dead because when I borrowed the gun from Dustin at work, I took it to the shooting range and had left the scope turned on when I was done shooting. It had been turned on for the past 7 days. I didnt realize that you actually turned it on. I thought the red dot was just on the lense. Anyways, with new batteries in the scope, Im hoping that tomorrow will be a better day. Maybe I'll get a deer.
