I'd save the time for later in the season

Personally me I would say the heck with opening day and use for Thursday then you will have Thur-Sat to hunt!!! Walt

Opening day of bow season is not a big deal to me. Usually you have to deal with hordes of guys that will bowhunt the first two weeks and give up, guys putting on "bow drives", and other nonsense. I wouldn't burn a day for it unless you've got a big guy patterned and want to get after him.

Gun season on the other hand, now that is an opening day tradition.

true dat, because before you know it, bam..... uh where did he go? he used to be in this field every evening....

Its happened to me every year.

I dont have one patterned yet, but if I do then i might change my story...

I think for now I'll just wait till friday, or maybe take thrus off and have a 3 day hunt

Wow all of our oepnign days are all on Saturdays except spring turkey they open on wednesdays

Monday opener.....sounds nice if you can do it.....way more guys "opener" will be that following saturday, or maybe friday evening....so yes thats kinda like 5 days by yourself....you could take off only thurs/fri and that may be better but still more guys probably doing that than mon/tues....maybe just take off part of that first week?

MT has sunday openers.....

l never get to hunt opening day due to working every saturday


im writing this from my little cousins PSP aint technology crazy

depends on what you have seen scouting...

I gotta go with Walt on this one, or even save the day off for later in the season. IL opens on Wed, but I'm not gonna go out till Fri (unless of course I get a chance in my neighbors yard)
