I would say sat this year may be even better then the 1st day. very few deer seen or taken here in 1b where I hunt.I am going to 1a on sat and alot of hunters are frustated about now and may sit at 1st in the early morning but,will move later if not seeing anything.I will stay put and use that to my advantage.alot of drives are put on the 1st sat even more now with no snow. good luck to you and I would stay put as long as you can stand it.
