Will you be hunting opening day on public land or private and what gun will you be using

[Steve D]

Not sure yet...leaning towards public in the morning with the shotgun & private in the afternoon with rifle. Depends  if I score something between now & then with the bow.

30 acres private land, too small for gun hunting.. will be sitting with my compound bow, waiting for those deer seeking sanctuary from all the gunshots.

Public land in 8w, hope my .30-06 sends 'em your way!

I will once again be found in the bowels of Letchworth with my tack driver Mossy 20. Will be hanging by 5-530 and will be sitting pretty all day if that's needed. If not i will be spending the rest of the day hauling out the cape,rack and loins the first trip out and the rest on the second go around. The second is so much easier because its always a change into sneakers and jeans for the last trip down.

Private land.  Remington 870 with Remington Accu-tips. 

I bought a Savage 220 last year but have yet to mount the scope on it.  If I tG with the 12 gauge, I guess I will make some time.

public... and something ruger depends on the weather.

Private.....if you asked me this morning I was dead set that I would be taking my .30-.06 jackhammer.....but with changing weather conditions the ole trusty 336 .30-30 may get the opening day nod!
I have opened with the .30-.06 for 9 seasons in a row so swapping her out will be a game time decision.

Not sure yet, depends on how the cams look on thursday or friday. If okay, private. If the cams don't work I'll sit in the middle of a massive field on public land I've never scouted and hope a deer is unlucky enough to walk by. 

In either case, .223 is the round. 

Your hunting deer with a .223? How does that work out? Have you gotten a deer with it yet?

I will be hunting the same spot In 7H (Cornell) like I have been for the past 6-7 yrs, Tompkins County is Shotgun only so I will be using my 12 gauge H&R Ultra Slug Hunter, My son will be right beside me with his 1187, I went out scouting last weekend and there is tons of scrapes/rubs within 50 yards of my stand so I am anxiously waiting for Saturday Morning!

[Elmo]

Public.  Remington 700 in 308.

[DirtTime]

Public.

Like I said in another thread, it depends if I go solo. If the g/f goes, I will be carrying a Howa in 7mm-08. If just me, Axis in .25-06.

[Don_C]

Private land, Varysburg. 30-06 X-Bolt

Public, shotgun for opener, never know how crowded it will be.

Probably spend some time out with the .300 Savage 99 when the orange army disperses a bit.
