When are you getting in the woods for the first time this year?

[Merlot]

I'll be going out around October 28th through nov. 8th

[agross]

Saturday AM for me.  Always get super excited for the opener but usually ends up as a turkey shoot with not many deer sightings.  Regardless wouldn't miss it for anything.

I hunted in CT last week and shot a yearling doe. I also hunted Fri, Sat, Sun this past weekend in the ADKs. Had 2 does at 20 yards but wasn't going to shoot them. Saw a couple of fresh rubs.

[Doc]

I have never been all that excited about this October 1 start, so my hunting for the next two weeks will be very casual and definitely will be selective on the weather. Temperature will be a big thing with me. So, I really can't say for sure when the first day out will be. The weatherman will be deciding that for me.

[UpStateRedNeck]

What time is first light, give or take?  A little before 6am?  Or more 5:30?

[First-light]

Let's not use that term "first light" too loosely. lol  Legal shooting time or when you can see a butt crack at 30 yards?

[UpStateRedNeck]

Butt crack at 30 yards, not looking for shooting time, just need to know when I need to be in, and settled down by, so I know when to set my alarm.  Yes I'm always there at least 30 minutes before buttcrack-oclock.

I'll be in my treestand in my backyard tommorrow before sun comes up !

[Culvercreek hunt club]

I wouldn't be in the stand any later than 5:30.

[ATbuckhunter]

My first day will be October 6th

[Jeremy K]

I was thinking this morning going to work at 6:30 that i couldn't legally get a shot off . I like to get in the stand early and play that game where you try to figure out what every weird shape is that you can see in half light . Im gonna shoot for a 5:30 ETA at the stand.

[Jeremy K]

Ill be in a 40 yard wide patch of woods that has a swamp on one side and a corn field on the other, the warm temps won't stop them from making that walk.

[Eycee1]

In a few hours!! Was gonna do sterling but park site says no bow hunting till 2nd sat in Nov. So either catskills or may just drive a few mins east here on the island and give that a try for the first time since I'm soo close and no check in or access permit for early bow on Li!!
