Default weathers looking good how should i handle it.

the weather for the sept 30 is few showers 68 high 47 low.
ok guys oct 1st is opening day.
the weather is high of 60 low of 46.
Partly cloudy 20% chance of rain.
Thuresday the 2nd the high is 69 low of 48
Mostly sunny.
Friday oct 3 sunny high 67 low 48
Saturday oct 4 mostly sunny high 70 low 46.

i figure with the rain on the 30th and the temp dropping from 79-82 to 60 opening day with clouds it will make for a good day of hunting.
What do you think also after rain should i be in there in the morning afternoon or all day.

I was happy when i saw the weather untill today they were calling for showers all next week.

Get in the woods as soon as you can after a weather occurrence.....or in front of a weather occurrence.

Simple as that.

If it's overcast on that first day....and the temps have dropped....I'd sit as long as I could.

If it isn't pouring rain.....spend $25 bucks and get a tree umbrella...and hunt.

Go put it on and shoot a couple times with it on, then you'll know.

I'm having the same experience. Our opening day the temps are supposed to drop 10-12 degrees, so I will be hunting all day.

Plus, I'm really glad I don't have to sit out in the heat.

That helps sooo much. Keeps the skeeters down and you don't stink the place up while getting out there. I can't wait for a frost or two up here!
