Happy (Rifle) Opener to Everyone!

[GlassEyeangler]

Just wanted to extend a "Happy Opener" to everyone hitting the woods this weekend. I'm in the midst of moving into a new house, and will not be up at deer camp this year; however, i will be there in spirit!

Be safe and shoot often!

[Jack Peterson]

Us shotgun hunters aren't wished any luck?

Well, I guess my shotgun is more like a rifle anyways!

[wolfman-k]

Thanks, GlassEyeAngler, good luck in your new home. Tough luck about the timing though. I hope you have many more seasons to enjoy the hunt.

Good luck Jack... Used to be a slug shooter when i lived in Iowa...

Be safe and enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!

5.5 hours until I leave the office for 11 days. Wahoo!

[fivebucks]

Same with me paceman - it's gonna be a slow 5-6 hours but all my bags are packed and I'm ready to go......Shoot straight!!!!

[picksbigwagon]

Glasseye, I am in the same boat as you, we close during the 3b season and will still be unpacking during my planned Iowa hunt, thank god I didn't get my doe tag in Iowa......

[Bear55]

Go get em boys!!!! Off around noon tomorrow and can't wait.

I'm done at 11am tomorrow till Tuesday. Can't complain this year is much much different than last. My work is very flexible and is letting me work half days and adjusted my half day to be 9:30 to 1:30. I've moved twice this year, got married beginning of September and closed on a house 10 days later. Since then unpacking, fixing things and getting a house ready for winter.... I'm not sure I even care if I see a deer I think I'm looking more forward to some quiet peaceful mornings and nights in the stand for some me time without having to worry about anything else needing to get done for 2 weeks. Meat in the freezer would certainly be a bonus though

Don't forget the weird feel of this years opener, for instance legal shooting time is 7:36 AM and 6:33 PM it ends in my add 8min. area. Good Luck everyone and remember safety first, then enjoy the hunt !

[Wobbler]

Musky Buck,

Your brother showed me some pics from the cameras! Good Luck!

[GlassEyeangler]

sorry Jack...my bad! Good Luck to all those hunting deer weather using a rifle, slugs, arrows, bolts or hey...to those who like to throw rocks at em!

my buddy just had to call me when he was in Duluth around 4:00pm this afternoon to rub it in...uugghh. he's fishing tonight, tomorrow and hunting on Opener. i told him i hope his truck breaks down before he gets there...he he - all in fun of course!

have fun everyone, and may the points be plenty!

[Dothedew]

Good luck to all the hunters... stay safe and shoot straight.

[Rippinlip]

Good Hunting to all! Be safe, no hunt is good if you get hurt!

[Jameson]

Hunt like it's your last!

[Musky Buck]

Not liking the 51, 53, 51 high temps forecasted with plenty of sun for Sat, Sun, Mon. That tells me night time rut activity as there will be little need for them to get to a field to soon as they'll be bedded enjoying the warm sun, but it only takes a moment, good luck guys.

[Finlander]

Musky Buck i'll be shooting shotgun bullets.

[Musky Buck]

Right on Finlander, I'm Finish as well and hope to fire a single 180 grain core-lokt pointed soft into the neck of a mature buck. If the neck isn't available I'll go with the traditional placement. Then to Frazee for processing saving some for the world's best jerky in Eagle Bend.

[Steve Foss]

Have fun everyone. Don't overdo it too much at deer camp parties tonight. Hope you all do well!
