Opening weekend

[C1295]

Who alls gonna be in the woods Saturday? Not ideal weather, but looks like I'm actually gonna have the free time( figures crossed )for an all day sit. ( if I can stand it). Gonna hit up some public land…. Hopefully it's not slammed with people.

 

[deerhunter10]

Not yet. First good cold front end of October will be my first hunt.

 

[Snake]

Don't know yet .

 

[Ski]

Good luck to yall!

 

[backyardtndeer]

Good luck to everyone going.

Unless something shows up on cameras to get my attention, I won't get out until I take my son for the juvenile hunt.

 

[JCDEERMAN]

I'll probably take advantage of the cooler weather and hang my last 2 stands I've been pushing off. Also getting a handful of trees in the ground

 

[TnKen]

Not if it's raining.

I will definitely be in the woods Saturday.

That's probably the better play.

 

[Bone Collector]

I am going to try to be. If the weather permits. I don't like bow hunting in the rain, due to blood trail loss.

 

[deerhunter10]

That's probably the better play.

Don't like early season. Learned several years ago we do more harm then good.

 

[Apostolic Outdoors]

Planning on it. Time'll tell.

Back in my younger years, my goal was to kill a doe on opening weekend of bow season. I did that 8 out of 10 years. Granted I wasn't intruding into spots, just in random fringes that didn't hurt anything. I don't see any harm in that.

Now I'm just too lazy to get out in the heat . I'll wait till mid-late October

I plan on it but they are calling for some really bad storms here in the Clarksville area from Hurricane Helene on Saturday. High winds (30-40 mph)and heavy rains (1"). May sit Saturday out and go when it is clear Sunday.

FYI my favorite week of archery season is first of November. The week between youth weekend and muzzleloader opener can be an awesome time to be in the woods. It's still archery only but leaves are colorful and falling and sometimes there is a cold front and it can be downright awesome.

 

[eyem4vols]

I'll be on private land looking for a decent doe just to get some meat in the freezer.

 

[Crappieaddict]

Probably give it another month….or more.

 

[Billboy]

Probably be out on the 4th and 5th, weather looks cooler and no rain.

That's peak buck movement in my area.
