I just realized opening day for some states is on a Sunday. Seems crazy to me but I guess they're used to it. I'd miss opening day every year

Yep... I'll be heading to SC in a few days for the Sunday opener.
Unit 2 in Kansas is a Wednesday. I'll be there

It makes no difference what day of the week it opens for me as long as the length of the season is the same.
I am retired now but when I was working, I would take vacation no matter when it opened. If I could not get time off, I would just go whenever I could.
BTW, I worked in maintenance so I was scheduled at least every other Saturday and every fourth Sunday.

Yeah a flexible schedule would help. I'm on swings so I work 2 weekends a month but I'm on midnights opening week here so that should help.

I've always had to work 7 days, just not all day. Not skipping Church to hunt and I get my stuff done early Sunday morning so I can make Church. I'd be completely out if Tennessee started this.

For simplification sake I wish states would pick a day on the calendar and stick with it (population issues and structure changes aside). KY should make it the 12th or 15th of April.
If it comes in on a Saturday, great. If it comes in on a Wednesday, I'm going to take off work & be in the woods. If you can't take off I am Sorry you wasted all your PTO going to Dollywood or you have a job without that flexibility but there will still be turkeys on the weekend.
I appreciate not wanting to miss church but I look at it like this- theres 52 Sundays in a year, if I use 12 of them for duck & turkey hunting and he has an issue, him & I can rectify that on judgement day. To be honest, I find I pray more during hunting season. Plus I rarely have felt as close to God sitting in a church house, as I do sitting in his creation watching the world wake up. But that's just me-

Yeah I see your point but opening day is less important to me. There was a couple years in a row that opening day was raining and cold so I didn't go. Back then AEDC was open the first Saturday, Sunday, and Monday of season. I really liked that Monday

Right on. I get all stir crazy and just can't stand it.
Although, to your point I did miss opener a couple years ago when I was coming off a bout of something and it was cold and nasty out. Think it might have snowed some that weekend even.
