Missing opening weekend.

Well looks like I'm missing opening weekend this year. I've gotten all my deer on opening day. Hope I can still find my deer Monday.

me too! my (new) bride informed me a few months ago that she booked us plane tickets to Santa Cruz, CA for her best gal's wedding...

it's ok, as i will be hunting hard the next two weekends once all the weekend-worriors leave due to rain, wind, cold. late Oct is better for blackie on the coast  :twocents:

Two years ago my sister in-law got married on opening day. It sucked, but I did make it out for a morning hunt. I told her she picked a bad day to get married but she is a vegetarian so she did not understand what was wrong with missing the evening hunt. My father in-law who does not hunt even made a reference to it being opening day of deer season in his toast. it was pretty funny.
WDWF needs to get a clue before it's to late!!!

I'm trying not to miss the opener.  However, work necessities might relocate me to Dubai for a bit.  I'm currently working on finding another way, instead of me having to go there.

Yea I'm hoping to find something this year. My buck last year was taken only minutes before I got in late on opening day. Guy that got him was a nice guy we talked for a bit and I helped him out with the deer.

I'll be headed out opening morning but I have to cut it short to make it back for my daughters school play. Lucky for me the areas I hunt are very close to where I live. Best of luck everyone!!

Good news for me.  I was able to find another sucker person to cover for me and go to Dubai in my place.  I'm still going to have to cut my hunt short for work here in the states, but at least I have the 1st 4 days of the hunt to enjoy.

Thank You for your service! Come back safe and harvest a deer next year.
