My brother went to Outdoor World on Sunday afternoon for his first time and at dinner Sunday night, he asked me if I knew it was there and if I had ever been. My wife started laughing at that question and said that I have been there so many times already that my car can drive itself there. Funny thing is, she and I weren't dating when it first opened up and I bought $1,600 worth of rods and reels along with a ton of hunting equipment from Outdoor World.

Don't feel bad about missing the first day. The only reason I knew it was the first day is because I marked the entire season on my calendar just a couple of weeks ago. If I knew where the ducks are, I would have been out there in the rain, but I haven't really been seeing the birds moving. I saw a pair of geese fly by the house today, but nothing like the big groups I saw last year around this time. I think the weather is still a little too warm. However, it looks like the deer are starting to move around a little.
