I missed my first opener 2 years ago because I had to work and couldn't get off. I am also scheduled to work this years gun opener -but I'm hoping to be able to take off a few hours early to get home and be there by first light.

I also don't care for the gun seasons. I mainly want to hunt because my youngest son wants me to take him AND I know that bucks will be pushed into my thicket. I'll carry my bow only and my son will have the shotgun.
