    As far as a buck goes? I would say there is a 95% chance I won't get a shot at one of my target bucks. On the other hand I full well expect to take out a doe opening day.

    Not a snowballs chance in ____...
    I'm setting in a new area opening day. I've walked it a few times. Never put a trail cam out so not sure what's using the area. I do have a few trails running through and 6 white oaks. It will be interesting to see what comes by. Got to love public land
    If a nice buck walks by I'll send an arrow. Plus I will have the camera ready.

    Hi All, New here. I don't expect to get anything on Saturday, I did get close to three does when scouting Last Sunday. 20 feet close and never did spook them. That was with dirty blue jeans and a black tee shirt! But with a bow in hand it is hard to get that lucky. For opening day I am looking for meat.

    I will be sitting in my stand all day Saturday and Sunday on public land, possibly switching stand locations at mid-day. I usually fill one antlerless tag every opening weekend. Not looking to tag a buck till I take my week vacation from Nov 2nd - Nov 9th unless the opportunity presents itself.

    Good luck to everyone who goes on out opening weekend!!!

    Definitely rare for me but I would welcome it this year. Just bought a new farm and I have a camp to finish building. I could go for sleeping in on Sunday and driving my hunting buddies nuts with my generator and power tools.

    I'll take a doe if the opportunity comes my way. Really would be shocked if I seen a buck that's on the list.

    so it seems not too many people here have high hopes of MR big on openig day LOL
    yrs back I used to hope it would happen, and now a days I could care less it seems
    I hunt in my home state for trespassers more than bucks LOL or it sure feels and seems that way last few yrs!
    if one comes along(eather one a buck or trespasser) I do what I can when and if it happens
    but no hopes of tagging out on opening day anymore, not this yr for sure!
