That was me this weekend, without the deer.  Mosquitoes and dove clothes on.  Not much moving.

I have to admit deer season opening weekend is my favorite weekend to go fishing. Went fishing on Wapp, in addition to the nice temperatures probably didn't see four other boats on the water, none close to us. Far cry from the parking lot being almost full when we get there and boats surrounding us or running up and down the lake all day.

But, did you catch any fish?  I did not see any boats either a few miles north of you on the farm hunting deer..

Good point. I would have no problem sitting out on the farm if there were no boats.  I did see a nice buck following a couple of does along the bank.

Talked to someone today that took a nice buck along the banks of Wappappello.  Those few boats are taking advantage of the dry spell and deer attracted to the waters.  My creek bottom is where the action is, woods are bone dry.
