[DoeMaster]

Who is going to be out there opening day?

[drinalin junky]

I laugh when I hear fellow bow hunting buds saying no way for opening day.The fever will set in tomorrow and like it or not they will be sitting in the woods with the rest of us!!:DGOOD LUCK TO YOU AND HAPPY HUNTING.

[muzzy125acc]

I may have to think about it.... OK I am ready bring on the opener....

[funboy30189]

it'll be hot but it beats staying at home

[deerslayer11]

only thing that concerns me is gettin the meat cooled off ;D (ill be there soon as the sun rises)

[shootersteve]

I'll be there. Even if I don't see anything or decide to pass, just being in the woods is worth it:)

[nwest]

I think Sat morning is out but I hope to hunt Sunday evening and a couple mornins next weeek.

[bmoore34]

just being in my camo, sittin in a stand, enjoying God's beautiful creation and the possibility to kill a deer.... hmmm.... yea ill be there!!

[buckdroppings]

I might go after some tree rats but its too hot for me right now. Beside the misses got me in the middle of a huge remodel.

[Bows over Guns]

[pearsonbowhunter]

This will be the first Opening day of bow season
of the 19yrs that i've been Deer hunting that i will
not be on stand at 5:30am opening morning and
to see GOD'S country come to life .

So good luck to all and may GOD bless you .

[TURBO TROUT]

killed a nice one on opening day afew years back got'em on the wall. stuck a turkey on opening day last year. drawed a bull tag this year. so i'll be spending the opener trying to find a place to hunt

[KYLimbHanger]

Some say its too hot.... Had this same exact discussion on the turkey froums on April 14th, the day before the opening day of Spring turkey season 2007. Well, in my part of the state, we had a snow storm the day before opener bringing a massive drop in temperature and a week long rain/snow weather. Nasty stuff. But, I went opening day anyway and filmed my uncle. We had a gobber come in striaght in to the blind in the rain, but he missed with a bow. And, probably the most turkeys I've seen on opening morning, all out there feeding in the rain. Also, on the first duck season in 07, Thanksgiving weekend, the weather was warm not really that good for migrating ducks. But, we went anyway. The hunt was unbelievable. We killed alot of mallards and mergansers and enjoyed it just like we would if it was peak migrating time in the winter. Point is (to me): I don't care if its snowing in April during turkey opener or blazing hot in September deer opener, I'm going. We wait all year long for it. Those who want to hunt - will.

I have to work, so deer hunting is out. However I will get in the field for some doves between our ranges tomorrow. Basic training, ya got to love it. Squad movement in the morning and Night infiltration course after dark. Sunday is another story, I'll be out then.

[Brewtus]

Thats like asking me if I'm getting up for Christmas morning. Thats what we kids do.;)

[droptine]

Without a doubt! I'll be out there!:D

[usmcvet06]

good luck to you guys and hopefully team 12 scores big his weekend! ill be watching the treelines as we drive to WV LOL! I can hear he now,Your running off the road, Slow down! Man you just gotta love em'

[blong]

There are those that hunt because they want to, and those that hunt because they have to.

[sirgiovanni]

I hate to say it, but we're sitting out opening day this year. Our ground the we moved to the last couple years is very dry and far from crops. We have done some minerals and plots which seem to hold some does, but we just never see the bucks or turkeys until a bit later in the season. It's sad to miss opening day, but it will be worth it to not sit there and see anything for us.

[skin_dog1]

I'll be there sat evening.

[FourSeasonsBowhunter]

Got WAY too many honey do items like finishing a fence in the back yard. I've been working on it evenings until dark and weekends. The hot rod needs the gas tank reinstalled, the shooting house (for my dad and son) needs to be finished and most importantly, it's first Saturday of the month tomorrow, so I'll be at Mass, but I'll be out there Sunday evening filming a buddy and Monday morning looking for Mr. Big. Got pictures of him and each time its the first hour of daylight on the trail cam. Have a great hunt to those who are going and don't forget to thank God for being out there. Shoot a big 'un!

[scrape]

I have to work. Might get to sling an arrow at one next week.

[str8 shot]

i would but were puttin out food plots and if i did kill one that mornin it would be way to hot for it

[Southbound]

I'm going to lumber into the woods bright and early, give my tree a big hug, and settle into my comfy tree stand. May take a lunch and a book and stay all day. Future wife is out of town, no responsibilities, nothing but time to sit in the tree...And down in the bottom where I will be it should not prove to be hot enough to make me leave Saturday.

[Trons]

I'll be dove hunting all weekend...don't plan on slinging any arrows till opening day at LBL...Since this is my first season with a bow, i'm really looking forward to it.

[F250Stroke]

Sold my bow this year,just lost the desire to do it anymore.Lots of stuff going on with the wife and son.I guess I will take off a week during gun season but no bowhunting this year. I may take it up again someday but for now I just cant get into it and really dont want to put in the time it takes anymore.Good luck to everyone and I hope to see pictures soon.

[LittleJohn]

Got everything pack and ready to go. Been out of bow hunting for awhile and getting back into it,very anxious. Deer and Turkey be aware.:D

[MrHank]

I'll be out there in the afternoon. When you got a beanfield to hunt you got to get after them while there still green. But yes it is actually too hot.

[Treeleach]

no way that i'll wait almost 8 months for season to open and sleep in opening morning.They dont call me treeleach for nothing .lol

[lukehunter]

Won't be out today, its my youngest sons birthday party, but my brother in law is in town and he is going out to film me tomorrow so hopefully I will have something to post on here tomorrow night.:)

Where you hunt plays a big role. The spot I have is very hard to get set up in and getting a deer out could take hours. This all means it's a terrible spot to hunt in the summer heat. Some of you guys have a spot that you can get in and out without breaking a sweat and a deer shot anywhere on your place can be quarted up and in the freezer within an hour or two. I don't have that luxury so I HAVE to wait for a little cooler weather.
