Tough decision since you know a good buck will be in direct line of fire with the opener. However I have always preferred to go where I am on my own, while this may prove to be a poor decision your chances at a perfect setup and connecting are hampered with all the boot/tire tracks that come with opening day.
This is not to say I would choose plan B though! First of all can you intercept this buck, with minimal chance of some yahoo screwing it up by yelling or walking with the wind in his arse? Is he known to be in a open area, where other have seen him and easy access?? If you where there first would others come too or move on? Finally if you know where he is you have a chance at getting him vs. saying screw it and go to plan B. I would propably opt for getting out real early and setting up for a first thing crack. Then see how the early am goes, it may be better than you think. If it is bad, then you have plan B which is better than what most guys have.
