I can't wait either. I have class in the morning but I plan on being in the timber by 200 in the afternoon. Good luck!

Looks like it will be about 45°F on opening morning Friday, but a SE wind at 13mph will put a hurting on anyone hunting open areas like myself. But hopefully the wind won't be an issue until after about 8:30.

Friday afternoon I'll probably go hunt deep woods if the wind is bad. Any other ideas on Illinois opening day weather setups?

I told my customers I was out of town 1st-3rd, I'm only 70 miles out of town but I had to get my priorities in line!

I was hoping for anything but a S-SE wind. That hurts almost all of my stand sites, can't decide on how to hunt now?
I'll be glad once I get out in the woods maybe I can get some sleep then!!!

Looks like we might get some rain finally on Friday night and early Saturday too. My food plots need it bad. They've been planted for 3 going on 4 weeks and haven't had a drop of rain yet.
