Twas the night before the opener, the anticipation is great.
Deer season starts tomorrow, I cant hardly wait.

The camo is washed in unscented soap,
I have to remember to spray scentkiller on my bow rope.

The ole lady is sleeping, I'm still awake.
Patiently waiting, for daybreak.

When all of the sudden, A high pitched screech.
somewhere to my left, just out of reach.

"Its my alarm", I said with a grin,
Its finally here, it's about to begin.

I jumped out of bed an ran to the window,
"man it's dark, better get ready to go"

"Not as cold as I'd like, but thats o.k.'
one sniff of the air and I knew, gonna be a good day"

after a quick shower, and grabbin my gear,
I'm out the door, look out deer.

Got to my spot, with time to spare,
Just as I hoped, nobody else there.

been a long time, since I walked in while it was dark,
snapped a couple branches, heard a dog bark.

got in my stand, This is the stuff I love.
get my stuff on, "crap, I forgot my gloves"

The sun is coming up, the woods are starting to get light,
I think I saw movement, off to my right.

The buck was a shooter, he'll look good on my wall.
He's getting closer, I come to full draw....

The rest of the story, is yours to decide.
Be safe out there guys, It's gonna be a fun ride.
