Opening day here in Central PA was a bust. It rained all night but let up at some point before 5. It started up again just after 7 and worsened as the morning went on.
It was my oldest son's first year with his junior license and I was looking forward to hunting with him and my younger son. By 8:00 the rain was coming down pretty good. There weren't a lot of other hunters around to keep the deer moving and we didn't seen anything by 8:30. The kids were cold and wet so we packed up and headed for the car.
It continued to rain all day so we didn't go back out. I'd have gone back out but I didn't want to go w/o the ids and I knew they didn't want to go back out, so we hung out in the warm and dry house.
They have off school tomorrow too and its supposed to be nicer so I guess we'll try it again in the morning.
