I have a 2 hour per-dawn walk planned to get out in front of the crowds for the opener.

After everything I've been reading I think I may do the same. Given the proximity to my hunting locations as well as my work schedule has something to do with that decision too.  Regardless, I'm still getting excited.

Leaving out Friday afternoon to meet my buddies at our spot and set up camp for the night.  Then wake up and start walking and glassing.

I'll be pulling the camp trailer over the pass on Thursday right after work to get my camp spot. I may spike out Friday afternoon to be ahead of the crowd Saturday morning. I'm solo for the first part, then my boys will drive over for some bonding.

I've seen it happen up Mill Creek on my family's land.  Alot end up in the stubble up top! Always feel a little unsafe though.

Probably just stay in the lowlands and hunt the stubble. Eat breakfast and run through game plan again, headout after first light. No point in pressuring them when you can't see them ;)
