OPENER!

[DonBo]

10 day forecast calls for highs in the 50s & 60s, with lows in the 40s & 50s, gotta love it!

[sticknstring]

Music to my ears! Tick tock tick tock...

[Andrew Erickson]

nice!!!! cant wait!

[mrklean]

let the cold weather move in

[Finlander]

I got the corn feeder with sliced sugar beets mixed in upwind at 15 yards for a perfect broadside shot! LOL!

More important than the temperature is the wind, anybody know what direction for the wind on the 17th?

[walleyeking19]

In buffalo, it says out of the SE at 10 mph

[Outdoor Authority]

I will be sitting in the deer stand in the am, baiting in the midday and bear hunting in the evening. I wish it worked the other way around but oh well. Excited to have something to do during the am hours.

[Archerysniper]

Yep can wait, got the bow shooting 2" groups at 40. I have one stand to move tomorrow and ready to hit it hard next weekend.

[tracker x-2]

I sure cant wait. I think im going to try and take part in a city hunt this year! All i gotta do is pass a proficiancy test tmrw

[walleyeking19]

One week from today!! Time cant go much slower

[bmc]

I'll be spending the MN opener in Wyoming bowhunting antelope.

Hope some of that cool weather we're gonna get, hits us out there!

Although sitting in a ground blind at a water hole for a few days in 70-80's might help me sweat away a few pounds that I've been wanting to drop! LOL

Good luck everyone!!! Looking forward to seeing some success stories and pics!

So looking forward to it......

Found out I am probably going to have to work...

Wife told me she will keep the stand occupied, so it looks like her and my son-in-law will be in the stand and daughter and I will be working.

Looks like my opening day will not happen until Monday or later, oh well.

[tunrevir]

I'm hoping to sneak out for a bit on Saturday but I coach my sons football team and we have an am game so it will be Saturday night for a bit. Sunday my daughter has fastpitch tourney so I probably won't get out at all. Looking foreward to some quality time on stand this year. I took the Friday off before Halloween and the whole week leading up to shotgun season off to hunt so hopefully I can tag out on a nice deer in Mn and head over to Wisc to go for round 2!

Saturday I will be attending my college police skills courses from 8 am to 5 pm in Jordan so hopefully i can hit the local public swamps for a couple of hours see if i get lucky...

[paceman]

I will just go out saturday morning. Might go fishing sat. afternoon and am in a golf tourney sunday after church.

[DonBo]

I'm with Pace, I'll probably sit a few hours Saturday morning then hit the lake for the rest of the weekend.

[BLACKJACK]

In a weak moment I let my wife talk me into going camping this weekend. Oh well, its a long bow season. Then the next weekend is duck opener, it may be Oct before I get out.

[Bear55]

Chasing big bucks Sat and Sun evening and maybe a morning doe hunt on Sunday. Can't wait to get in the stand!!!

[DonBo]

So Bear, you gonna pass up big bucks Sunday morning waiting on a doe? Not sure I get your logic there.

[Bear55]

No I just don't expect to see a shooter buck Sunday morning so I target does, if a biggin comes by I will be happy to shoot him. I also like to target does close to the road for dragging purposes and rarely see mature bucks in those areas during shooting hours. On the other side of that coin my buck hunting locations are usually a ways back and often a tangle so I will pass anything outside of my personal buck standards because it's a real pain to get them out.

[JigginGopher]

Hope the colder weather moving through keeps the skeeters to a tolerable level. Nothing more fun than trying to be still in a bow stand and having the skeeters treating you like a saturday night buffet!

[sticknstring]

What I wouldn've give to be up in a tree this afternoon...

[Wanderer]

For sure! With a bow, tag, and an open season of course! I'll be in a classroom for the next two nights and then I should be leaving for the SE on Friday after work. Took Monday off so I can hunt Sunday night.

Akin to Bear's logic, I plan to pass on does Saturday and Sunday but maybe take one Monday morning if I get the chance. I'll be hunting the bottom of a bluff with no road access. I can get a wheeler down there but I don't want to disturb the area much. It's the place I've seen the best average bucks on all the property we have to hunt. I wish I would have had some scouting time to put in this year vs. going off what I saw last year but that's pretty typical for me.

Good luck everyone.
