Sat in the rain opening day as well. Luckily I was in a shack but stuck it out. Had a doe walk right by me early in the morning let it walk. Around 1:30 the rain stopped for a bit turned around and saw a buck walking behind me. Buck down opener! Nice 10 pt. I also buy the super sports which is way more efficient. Haven't had any issues myself but glad it worked out for ya.
Man I love partridge hunting and their meat! I started out shooting them with an single shot H&R 410 in my teens and got my fair share of them too. My ultimate brush gun was an Remington 1100 with a slug barrel and #6 shot. I'd hunt them in white pines and spruce trees, their wings would get hung up in the limbs and slow them down just a little bit. That combo of 6 shot and the short barrel was deadly in that situation. Getting the limit of 4 was tough but doable, great and challenging bird to hunt.
I got the super sport combo and when the deer tags were online in Aug I went online and had to do the purchase thing but didn't get charged again and they sent me my tag. I saw 2 small bucks and a doe. First time white tail deer hunting. Didn't end up shooting one

Nice job! Buck down openers are about as good as they get.
I've never even heard of the super sports combo. I've always just bought the sportsman license.
It’s more or less just a bundle of everything really. Pheasant stamp, waterfowl stamp, deer tag, small game, fishing, trout stamp etc.

They are tough!

Thank you for the heads up! I will do this next year. Awesome seeing all those deer your first time out.
Me and my grandpa got a six pointer the other day i called it in with a bleat caller
Nice job! Been tough deer hunting these last few years. Not sure if it’s the harsh winters we’ve had or the wolves.
