It' s the same here in Iowa too. Our season opens Wed. Oct. 1st and I' m so pumped up I can' t sleep! I asked for Wed. off and got it so I' ll be out all day. Our weather looks like clear and cold with lows in the mid 30s and highs in the lower 60s. Looks like a west to southwest wind 5 to 15 mph. It' s been so dry here in southern Iowa this year I think I' m going to concentrate on a couple of watering holes that are real close to some bedding areas I know of. Especially in the afternoon. Good luck to everyone and hunt safe.
