Title: Missing opening weekend.
Post by: demontang on October 10, 2011, 09:49:49 PM: 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.

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.

Post by: Goldeneye on October 11, 2011, 04:39:12 PM: 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.

Post by: demontang on October 11, 2011, 08:02:03 PM: 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.

Post by: elkaholic_74 on October 13, 2011, 10:00:31 AM: 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!!

Post by: Goldeneye on October 14, 2011, 09:23:40 AM: 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.
