where to hunt opening day

[buglebrush]

Ok guys.  Which area do you target on opening day assuming it opens on a saturday?  Hit the pressured areas before they get hunted out?  Hit your honey hole way back in?  Save your honey hole for later in the rut?  Other?

I take my chances in the easy areas first knowing that they'll be blown out in the first 3 hours or so.

get ahead of everyone else and hit the escape routes.

Good advice there!

I always totally obsess over which area to hunt opening day      My three main areas fit these descriptions, and I have had good success with all three on opening weekend.   This year I am going to hit the half day area just because I know there is a really nice herd in there right now, but it does seem like a waste of a two day weekend to hunt the smaller area.      

Was really interested in other's reasons for choosing one or the other.  Good stuff.  Keep it coming.

If u no there's a herd there now...... Sounds like a spot to be at.

I will be hitting my very best area first.It is way back,It will be an escape route from all the pressure.It is where it happens every year lol.Good luck to everyone and be safe.Im almost as excited to see all the new pics for the season as I am for the hunt.
