This is going to be a great weekend for me. My son and 2 grandsons are coming over from Illinois to hunt. First time hunting with the grandsons. Good luck to all and stay safe.
Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

Nope. Both of my daughters scored and I scored during bow season. No need for any more meat. Herds are already decimated in the areas that I hunt.
I had a couple of youth from Ohio that were going to come over and hunt, but they had last minute soccer games come up so they cannot make it. So I think I will grab a big cup of coffee Saturday morning and simply drive around policing my properties for fence sitters and trespassers. Gun season brings out the gems unfortunately.
Good luck to all that are going to hit the woods and stay safe!

I plan to be high (at least 15 ft up).
Treat me like I'm your best friend and it may happen

Ive been waiting on gun season only hunting 4 times so far but now its on. My goal this year is to kill a 150"+ with my Ruger Super Redhawk 454 Casull and have it on film. Got all the film equipment set up so all I need is a big old buck to show up. h.h.

I'll be out on all day sit.... again! Only shooting Mr. Right, as usual. Remember GUN SAFETY as well folks. Always keep muzzle in safe direction, even when not loaded! In and out of tree too! This happened to me a few years back... rope broke. You can see the clip still on my sling. ![[Linked Image]](http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k254/ERNIEMOSLEY/Muzzle2.jpg)

My Dad, my brother, and a friend will be giving it a shot or maybe a few shots. Gunshots only for me but the others might taste a little Crown after the hunt is through. I'll keep them just tipsy enough to win all their money in poker  Got a pot of chicken chili. Hope it's not too beanie as we will all be in a little camper together. Have fun folks, stay safe. As for treestand safety, I'll be staying on the ground but my brother will be in a tree with his harness on.

I had a bunch of coon hunters in my woods night before a gun opener. We shot 3 bucks in that woods the following morning. I would not worry about it. Originally posted by aj: Shouldn't matter beyond today. [/b]

Well, I'll be hunting at my place over a heavy thick bedding area (saw 11 deer there last weekend...3 does came into range but passed up on them). I'm hoping that a buck will come in and now I can see over 3 fields because they finally got them picked this week. I think with this weekend weather that there WILL be some deer die. Have fun to everyone, shoot straight, and most importantly stay safe. GOOD LUCK...TOMORROW'S THE DAY!!!

I'll be at work...but that was the plan all along. Today was my 1st day back at work since October 29th. My last opening day of firearms season was way back in 1991.
Be safe out there!

darn. I am very Sorry to hear that. get well soon! You will still have some very good late season hunts ahead of you. Originally posted by maddogmech: Cant stress the safety part enough, like Bo said. We need to stop and take a minute to think things through.....Reason being I will going to be with my son, but really will be sitting this opener out due to a bone head move I did at wrk. I smashed and fractured 3 fingers on my right hand, cant shoot my bow or gun for 4 weeks....
BE SAFE GUYS AND GALS....... TAKE TIME TO THINK IT THROUGH...
GOOD LUCK TO ALL......

This morning was slow and cold. I got out of the stand around early noon time. Didn't even see a deer during time in the stand. As I walked past the elevator up along the pipeline there was a doe with 2 yearlings...the ones from last weekend. I went to one of our blinds for an hour...nothing. Then went to a couple chairs set up behind our house...nothing. Maybe tonight will bring better luck.
