Opened last Monday the 17th. I like to get started mid October. My 10 year old boy shot his first deer with rifle (buck 3 pts.) the 15th during youth season. First deer to show was a good looking buck but he wouldn't come to the field that earlier yet (5:20 p.m.) and thankfully stayed in there, other wise i might have been looking at posting pictures with a 3 pt later on while my boy shows off pictures with the big boy, haha.
