Are yu ready for Saturday?

[Just Lucky]

Done with bow and crossbow for the year. Switched jackets and all gear over tonight.  I don't carry much so not a big deal but 1 less thing to worry about. Gloves, drag rope, baggy, pen, backstage, and ammo. 

[WNYBuckHunter]

I’ll be out on state land Saturday morning. Gonna be watching a couple of escape routes. Just got my 308 dialed in today. 
 

I have all of next week off. Gonna hunt as much as I can. 

[Larry]

Just going to shoot my rifles one more time. Just to make sure there dead on. Thicker shorter range I will use the triple 4 longer more open range I'll use the 6.5 creedmor.

That thing does not work. I have one laying around from back when I was a smoker and tried it. Lol

I should have put a sarcastic smiley face after my comment . It’s been a long running joke with the wife and I about how she always needs a cough silencer .

I am truly hoping the weather man is wrong and we won’t be getting a couple feet of snow along with high winds. Might not be able to make it to the cabin.

Early weather models are not promising for WNY....the crap is supposed to start tomorrow night and we shall see where the ole lake effect takes us. This projection absolutely sucks if it's true. A few inches each day is fine....but some models are calling 3 foot which will lock everything down.

IDK… unless you’re hunting in Hamburg or Lancaster I think it will be fine.

The biggest day of the year for me and I've been preparing and trying to decide which stand I'll sit for weeks now. It will depend on wind direction, conditions and gut feelings. I've narrowed it down to A) A semi open area between to really thick brushy spots up on flat ground in Letch, would require a 1.5 walk to get there, I haven't had anything good on trail cam all fall or b) my BIL's new piece farm in Stuben Co where I just placed a stand in a pinch point, 50 acres of hardwoods that has sizable pond on the north side and an overgrown brushy area past that. But it's all surrounded by open fields and has a few houses that surround the far north end. New land to him, I've never hunted it, big bucks in the area.

I write down all the pros and cons on a piece of paper and stress out over it lol

Good luck to all you southern tier hunters, I was a chopping at the bit opening day mad dog for many years before I moved to the Northern zone where I do all of my Deer hunting these days. Should have some snow on the ground which can be a serious difference maker if you know how to use it.

Works for me !

For coughs I carry hard candy and unless really sick it helps keep throat lubed and cuts down on coughs. Good luck everyone Be safe

[PraiseDiana]

I have a newborn at home so I'll have very few outings for deer. Still plan to get a sit in on opening morning at least - might be the only chance I get!

[LET EM GROW]

Hope to make it out! Im never ready, besides being legal lol. I did check zero on 2 rifles yesterday quick after work though. 

[Larry]

SNOW, SNOW, SNOW FOR SOME PARTS

[bugsNbows]

No trip up to Steuben for me. Will be my first opening day miss in many, many, many years. Kinda bummed.

[Arcade Hunter]

Im going to have to drive through it ... where I am hunting is not too near the band or at least where it is projected to be.  My buddy is meeting me in Akrom but he is coming from cheektowaga, so he might have issues getting there

Nope, not ready, I'll be giving it a wing and a prayer. Going to hang my climber on last year's tree tomorrow so I can find it in the dark Saturday morning. I have my .54 ML sighted in, and am going to put a few rounds through my 760 Remington tomorrow, I'm not sure which I'm taking on Saturday. Good luck to all who are going out!

The area I’ll be hunting butts up to the farms I used to hunt for 10 years, so I know the area very well.

This resonates with me. I’m in Northern Zone, but barely. I really wish they restructure our season here. A 2 week archery season and 6 week rifle season results in a lot of 1.5 year old bucks being killed. I get it up north, but not where I am.

I’m going to leave around 11am tomorrow and hopefully make it to my cabin in East Otto. My neighbor said maybe 3” on the ground there.
