Archery opener Mn

[harvey lee]

I have not hunted the opener for years, typically way to many bugs. I could put my bug tamer on but I usually wait. As long as it is not 80 degrees or warmer, I believe I will be in the tree.

This fall, for some reason I am really pumped to get out and just may do the opener next weekend.

Last few trip[s out making sure everything is ready, seemed like no bugs at all.

Anyone else going out for the opener.

Will be in a ground blind helping my wife try to harvest her first deer. It looks like the temps will be perfect......for her at least.

Love the opener, always nice to get back in a tree for the first sit of the year. Also a good time to catch a buck moving earlier than normal.

I'm so amped about opener I can barely sleep these nights.

[Big Country]

Ha! Thought I was the only one not getting much sleep. Super stoked. The food plot has plenty of options on the camera. Will be in the tree an hour before drawback time. Good luck to all. The weather today makes it easy to think about here in Duluth. BC

I'll be out there, wouldn't miss it. Not sure where yet, depends on wind & some trail cams I won't pull until middle of next week.

Seems like we just had a new hatch of mosquitoes this week. I'll be out next weekend with the thermacell in hand.

[slimngrizzly]

Im pretty pumped up! I'll be trying to get my wife a good buck early this season.

Harvey, I haven't seen any mosquitoes for about 8-10 years on opener. Im afraid this year we may finally have some again! Ive noticed a fresh hatch this past week as well.

Looking forward to it either way!

Never miss opener or closers ! Even if the bugs are thick or the snow is deep or it's -20 out !!!!

Thermo cell will work this year . The only only thing that changed this year is I won't be sticking a doe ! This one deer year will slow the string down

[Lunker]

I'll be out in WI opener as long as it's not hot. I'm going to let temps dictate a bit more early this year as I hate being sweaty and buggy...but I feel like I say that every year and get excited and hunt regardless of conditions...

[Rippinlip]

The wife and I will be out in our stands on Saturday night, we have been running trail camera's since early June, only checking the cards every 3-4 weeks. Nice to see them grow through the year.

Have our eyes on a couple of deer to let the strings drop on.

I think we look to our tradition night before archery opener as much as the opener itself, out to FF to pick up some late items needed and then dinner at our favorite steak place.

[FISHINGURU]

I will wait until around the 3rd week of Oct this year.

[Swiftswamper]

Ive got 37 for low Friday night. Very excited to be in a tree

[maros91]

I'll be out in a swamp Saturday morning. Hopefully to see a nice buck.

Cool front moving in this week.

So quick story that has me super excited about opening morning! The way opener and duck hunting falls this year it gives me a conflict of dates. I always take a couple kids hunting on youth waterfowl day which is normally the weekend before bow opener. Well this year it happens to be on the same day. I contemplated not taking the boys I normally do out until they started asking if we were going. I just had to take them out as they are both 15 years old and it is their last youth day hunt they can participate in. Oh well, I guess my fiance and I will have to go out in the evening on opener instead of the morning. The weather is calling for lows near 40 which should have the deer on their feet, but oh well it's a long season.

Then last night, I jokingly asked my fiance if she would sit in the stand on her own if I walked her out there and got her settled in before light. And she said YES that she would totally be willing to do it!!!! She has never hunted alone and this is only her third season and about 8th sit ever! I hope she sees the deer she wants to shoot and gets a chance at it! It would totally make my season! So opening morning at least one of us will be in a tree while I take the boys hunting. Then opening evening we can either celebrate her first kill or hunt together as planned. Can't wait til Saturday!!!!

[Bear55]

Nothing wrong with a little duck hunting in the morning and bow in the evening, will be doing the same when my kids are old enough.

[hockeybc69]

Taking my daughter duck hunting in the morning while my son sits on stand.

Then I will hop in a stand for the evening hunt while my daughter spends the afternoon with Grandma.

[HunterLee]

Will be out if not going for a bear.

[Greenhornet84]

Only five more sunsets till I'm in a tree.

[BuckSutherland]

Got so sick of nothing on camera up north that I brought one home and put it out. Might go for my first ever archery deer this year.

[Greenhornet84]

Make that 4 sunsets to go

[Swiftswamper]

3 sunsets and they arent safe

[Archerysniper]

I had no ambition to even hunt opener this year because I leave the following Thursday for a archery elk and deer hunt in Montana.

However that all changed Fri night when I decided to do some scouting behind the house and jumped a really nice 8 in full velvet eating acorns that are dropping in the corn field, with him was a gigantic 10 with lots of mass and a awesome spread still in full velvet.

NOW IM PUMPED

[Jmnhunter]

Archery opener is engrained in me now even though most years I'm by myself can't wait!! Will be hunting cass county public land !!
