My opener is the 1st. Will make opening day just to get the "itch" scratched. Packing gear today & heading out tomoorw for a Water Buffalo hunt. Congratulations on the Bear. Bowhunted them many times & always a thrill having one come within Bow range. Good Luck all. Oh, I don't take Does much anymore though I have several chances every year-I leave them for the shotgunning kids..
Later, back to packing.
