damore81 Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Took Friday off and keeping up with our opening weekend tradition of slaughtering a pig and having a pig roast. Plan on being in the stand by 5am saturday and hoping for the best. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fearthebeard Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 I'm 23 years young and opening day of rifle is like Christmas for me hard to sleep the night before I'm so excited hoping to harvest my first buck this year fellas 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss315er Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 I have a cousin 40yrs old. He gets so amped up that he vomits every year on morning of gun opener. Like a rock singer before going on stage. Hell of a hunter after he's done and sun comes up to start the season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deerthug Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 As Paula said: I'M SO EXCITED!!! And I just can't hide it . . . I know . . . I know . . . I want you . . .Mr. Big 10 pt. buck that's been roaming around my hunting land for the last three years. My Remy 30-06 is sighted in. I'm going to wash my clothes again tonight. Heading up Friday morning with my brother in law and father in law. The other two members (my brother and other BIL) of our usual group won't make it this year. Oh well . . . more bucks for me!!! I just hope and pray that my tree stand is still where I left it unlike my trail camera. . . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BizCT Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Why do so many of you gun hunters limit yourselves by using tree stands? What if you need to move 10-20 yards to get a good shot? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fearthebeard Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 I'm sitting inside a bush opening day lol I can't afford a tree stand yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlot Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Always fun the afternoon before the opener to grill steaks, have a mixed drink and sit in Adirondack chairs shooting the breeze around a campfire. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 why would you want to hunt from a treestand with a gun? what do you do? unzip your ground blind and sneak up 20 yards? a tree stand gives you a much broader view, why limit yourself to a shorter range of view sitting on the ground?

Never used a ground blind in my life. I sit on the ground against a tree or rock wall. Why limit yourself to shot opportunities by being constricted to a tree?

At least she better. other than that i am good to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thphm Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 There is a stand near me,this thing has to be 50' up in the air, more like a mini cabin.I can imagine being up there what a view it must have of the sourounding area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you are hunting heavy pines, like me. All you would see is the tops of the pine trees and maybe catch a glimpse of my blaze orange dragging a buck out lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DROpTINE Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Went up to my place this past weekend to do some last minute setups on my stands. I have an apple tree next to my cabin(15yds) that was ravaged for the first time in years. Tracks everywhere and this rub next to it, right next to my shed with atv inside. Then, directly behind my cabin(30yds) found this one. And this one next to it, I've got a feeling it's the same one...I always bring my gun with me to the outhouse, it might pay off this year. Wouldn't be the first one taken while taking... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always activity coming out of there with a few solid trails. Maybe good for a sit on a day it rains.
