I usually county opening morning, but lose count about 1 hour into it. Then I just find myself making sure my head is behind the tree I'm sitting in [:-]. The first week is pretty brutal around here. After that it calms down A LOT, but the damage is already done. The colder and nastier the weather get, the less and less the hunters hit the woods and the deer are just starting to creep out during daylight hours again.

Curious to know what the difference in your area is between what you heard today as compared to your opening day of gun.
