Have you shot an opening day archery buck?
 

I have never shot a buck on opening day of archery season. Closest I have come to shooting a buck on opening day is day 5 of the season when I shot a 7 point, 5 years ago or so. How about you?

Cool Steven..what was that buck doing the day you shot it? Moving to feed late in the day? Catch him coming back in during the morning? Field? Deep woods?

Our opener in Illinois is Oct 1st and unless it falls on a weekend I do not hunt. This year it's a Wednesday, so Oct. 4 will be my opener. Still looking for my first buck with a bow...

I never have, I have passed a couple on opening day and wound up regretting it by the end of season....[:@]

RE: Have you shot an opening day buck?
 

Yes, but I've also passed up many on opening day as well.

That's ok--I have passed bucks up as well on opening day because they were not what I was looking for.......not that I am a monster buck hunter but not just shooting to shoot you know.

Never during bow season. I've shot a few during the opener of the PA rifle season. Last year I passed on two nice mature doe's opening morning of archery last year. Not sure why[&:]
