Opening Day Success...
 

I am curious how many people have Success on Opening Day of Archery Season... I have never taken a buck on Opening Day... But I really don't hunt any fields or anything... So I think that makes it a little harder in the early season... One thing is for sure... I'll be in my Tree...:D

Any pics of Opening Day Bucks...???

Good Luck, and Be Safe...

Opening day is not real productive for me. Still real hot around here. I have taken a few does on opening day. I always tag two nannys before I pop a buck.

This was opening day last year. Two doe and a hog.

First doe, I had to quarter in the field and get on Ice. It was 98 degrees. This doe was the last. I shot my first about 9:00am and while waiting my standard 30 min. I came across another. I poped her. The hog was taken while going back to my truck so I could pick up the deer. I saw them in the distance and put on a little stalk and poped a medium sized sow. She was great at the bbq.





This guy was taken that evening. He decided to sun under my tree stand.

I shot my first buck with a bow on opening day. I also have shot quite a few does on opening day as well.

Same here.

There was one season, back in 1997, I killed a spike on opening day and killed a nine point the next day that scored 106. That is the only buck I have killed on opening day of bow season. I have killed a few does on opening day. Different story with a gun though. The bucks don't move too well early down here. This is why I try to kill two does during early Oct.

Ihave yet to see a shooter opening day.

RE: Opening Day Success...
 

In the past I've usually only had one tag so I wouldn't shoot anything opening day unless it was big...to me it sucks when you've been waiting all year for deer season and end it in one day, but I picked up two tags this year so we'll see what happens...

Opening day 2 years ago.....Settled into stand at 4:30.....shot doe at 5:15.....One of the best days, if you can fight the heat.

RE: Opening Day Success...
 

I've taken a doe a couple times on opening day...but never a buck. Two years ago the first deer to walk by on opening day was a small/decent 6pt but I let him walk. And a year or so before that I saw two really nice bucks on opening day late in the evening but never got the opportunity for a shot. That's the closest I've come to taking a buck on opening day.

Now opening day of rifle season.....that's another story.....[&:]
