My family has had an opening day tradition of gathering on Friday (day before) having a nice evening together reminiscing and then hitting it hard for the next 9 days (length of the season). The last two seasons, football has forced us to alter our plans, my son made varsity and they have mandatory practices on Saturday. Hunting with my son is everything to me, so I don't get to hunt opening morning, at least we get the afternoon/evening and then Sunday hunt to be with the family. Making a short story long, we'll be heading out around noon saturday, good luck all.
