Bow opener weekend — what we learned
Beautiful weather Friday and Saturday, blew up Sunday morning. Three bow shots taken between Devon, James, and me. Devon's 8-pt at 22 yards on Ridge stand 3 — clean shot, perfect recovery 80 yards downhill. The new ladder stand at Long Bay is producing — Henrik glassed eight deer from it on Saturday but didn't draw. Note for next year: the trail behind the cabin needs more clearing earlier in the season. Brought the chainsaw too late. Cabin in good shape — Anders refilled the woodbox before he left, much appreciated.
