I don't hunt on the weekends since I am retired and there were a few opening days I had to work, but this is my 61st hunting season. Didn't  kill a deer every year, but many years passed up a lot until I found what I wanted or didn't shoot. One year hunting mostly in 113 I shot the 113TH buck I saw that season. That was the last day and I wanted some meat so took a small buck, the 13 buck I saw that day. One of the most exciting buck was a three point blacktail that I shot at 20 feet with the muzzle loader in thick timber. He had all points broke off on one side and half of the main beam missing on the other. Getting that close and getting him with out him knowing I was around was exciting.

actually hunting and packing a gun i've been out since I was 11 I tagged along with dad not packing a gun since i was 9 and now im 34 so i guess that marks 23 years straight some of them were very short either tagging out or running home to make it on the bus in time. I ran cross country throughkiddle school, highschool and college and the meets were always on Saturday but i still got up and went out for the opener then hightailed it off the hill in time to catch the bus and get a quick three to six mile run in and then return to the field after the meets crazy times thats for sure. I live for this day every year my wife says Im obsessed and she just plans on seeing very little of me for the month of October.  Good Luck tomorrow everyone and stay safe.  Looking forward to all the success pictures!

If I go tomorrow, one. I've hunted a lot of opening days over the years, but I find them over-rated. I'm not one who cares for big crowds when I'm hunting. I like to wait until the middle of the week, in the middle of the season. The animals have been pushed hard, then the crowds let up and the deer show back up. I may go tomorrow to take my young son out tho.

Wow, started hunting in '68 at 14, delay entry in USMC so I could hunt '74 (got first elk), missed '75.
Made every opener (whether bow, muzzy or rifle choice) every year since.  So, 37(?)
