RE: Have you shot an opening day archery buck?
 

No but I've gotten one on Oct. 6th


I've shot one on opening day of rifle season, too.

A few years ago I shot a 125" 8 pt. Sept. 17th, opening day in Wisconsin. He came in to get a drink from the pond I was sitting on.

I have only gotten one buck wth my bow,and it was not on opening day.

RE: Have you shot an opening day buck?
 

Never shot one opening bow.... Have opening shotgun though. I'm a little more picky during bow season. Not that I wouldn't, I just haven't had the right buck come by.

I have not

RE: Have you shot an opening day buck?
 

Yes.

RE: Have you shot an opening day buck?
 

Nope!! I've let a handful of them walk through out the years on opening day being they weren't P&Y class bucks. I don't hunt early In the season just to often but I think that's going to change this year and In the coming years. One year I had a 125" to 130" buck come with In 25 yards of me and turn broad side on opening day. That was tough to watch him being he was a tad out of range for my recurve.

Some day I hope to shoot a Booker buck on opening day. That would be cool as hell! The mount would look so much nicer In detail being he'd still have a summer coat.

only hunted 2 archery openers....first one i was "kicked" out of my spot...(lonnng story) hunted another spot but not where i wanted to be and not in good early season woods..didnt hunt long either had to get back to the farm to report the guy that kicked me out lol....(pretty sure he shot a biggun sometime that day from the spot i was originally in!)

last opener, had a shot, but muffed it up before i could take it....


id like to take one this opener....i know i will learn more from HUNTING and not from SHOOTING...but, this is my last year of college and i gotta carry a B average...an unfilled buck tag is just a burning temptation to do somethin other than school work :D

With the amount of pressure my areas recieve I live and die by the first 3-5 days of the season.

I try to get on their summer patterns as much as I can and whack one before they pull out their nightvision gear.

In fact I think my last 6 PA bucks have been killed in the first 3 days of the season, with last year's being the first one on the actual season opener.
