I agree with Irishlad32, taking care of the family is most important in life.

I myself missed the same thing opening day. I was with my wife spending quality time with her. I don't regret it one bit. My wife works days I work nights so we can pass for a whole week and not see each other. I had off and she had off and we needed some time together and that is what we did. She loves venison as I do and she loves duck so she wants me out there to fill the freezer with prime meat. So the deer arent going anywhere so they will be there when I get out there. It wont be any trouble getting my 3 deer that my wife thinks I should take this year. So I have no problem spending opening day with her especially bow season.
