Good luck, everyone! I hope your range practice has been good, and you are headed for places with good critter activity. Let's hope a few of them keep the appointment on opening weekend!
Cheers, Mark

Lots of variables so it's hard to say. What are you shooting and what's your load?
Knight Mountaineer (Williams FPS peep, factory issue red fiber optic front bead with six-o'clock hold), 110 grains of Triple-Seven FFG, 300 grain Knight Bloodline .50 cal (bullet caliber .452). Getting about 1850 feet per second.

And 4x4, Kellama, and Bullmoose, I couldn't agree more. It is an awesome time to be out in the woods and mountains. Out here, our deer herds are doing much better than the last 3-4 years, fortunately. A couple mild winters and the mild summer here in SE WA have really helped them.
Getting more excited each day!
