It was opening day here in Illinois too. With the record heat here i passed on today. Yes, great front coming in, its opening day and all ........

BUT: If i where to arrow a deer tonight im worried about loosing it. Its way hot, and i get up at 4:00 am to go to work. So in order for me to make sure the deer would be ok i would have to butcher it myself before the morning. This is the reason i passed.

Just make sure you can take care of the animal in the heat if you decide to go..........
