so is everyone ready to hit the woods early tomorrow???i have been bowhunting alot but theres something about open day of gun season.now i can reach out and get some of those nice buck i saw during bow season.good luck guys and keep us posted.

I am ready, I only got out bowhunting 3 times due to work. I always take the first week ofshotgun off to hunt it.

Here is a pic of my father's 5pt buck that he shot opening morning. 15yd shot, hit the heart, piled up in 30yds. To top it off it was shot on our farm!

excellent.where in ma are you guys?i sat all day and saw crap.no deer or hunters.not many shots fired at all.im in greenfield zone 4n.what about you?good luck.ill be back out tomorrow.

He shot it in Rutland, Zone 8, Central MA. When we checked it in they only had 10 deer checked all day... the warm weather kept a lot of guys out of the woods. Good luck to you

Things are going to cool down in a big way starting Saturday, soI am going to hit it hard all day. Good luck boys

I didn't even get out of my truck this morning. During bow season I didn't see another hunter. I expected to see some this morning but not the bunches that were just lining up and driving the deer to the shooters. I checked 3 of my spots and found the same at each one. My opinion, that's not hunting, it's just herding them to the slaughter. zone 11

I hear you about the deer drives. The thing that bothers me is that alot of those guys only spent about 5 days a year in the woods, never pick up a weapon other than deer week and get rattled by the slightest noise or movement. Now don't get me wrong, they deserve to hunt as much as I do, but sometimes it makes me a little nervous out there. I hate to hear about hunting accidents because most of them are usually very avoidable and caused by inexperience. As I have said, be safe fellas

DJP you must have went to Wilder in Norton. I stopped by there around 12, and there were at least 15 trucks in the lot. I talked to 2 guys who said everywhere they went in there was orange, and they heard no shots. I saw crap toay, alot of construction around my area seems to have things fubar. I think I will be hitting Halifax or Kingston the rest of the week. Z11
