For the first time ever, it looks like I will be missing the opening day of gun season. I have to take a trip to Nashville for work, and wont be getting back until next Saturday or Sunday night. What a bummer, I was really looking forward to opening morning, which may be my best shot at one of our remaining hit list bucks.

That can be a huge disappointment for sure. As we all look forward to the opener all year. But I have huge confidence in your hunting abilities to make it happen when you do get out there!  You will be OK buddy. You will make it happen on "YOUR" opening day!

Tough deal John but work (GULP) comes first.  Good for you on holding up your end of the bargain!

Funny thing though, I wanted to quit my job today when the sun came up; no wind and a heavy frost.  The leaves were raining straight down around the trees at work.  What I wouldn't do to have been a tree stand at dawn today.  Heartbreaking...............

Tough break, John....This year will be my 53rd opening day of NY deer season and I have been fortunate enough never to miss one...I even was lucky enough to schedule a week's leave  each of the two years that I was on active duty in the service... Closest I ever came to missing one was a frigid morning about 40 years ago when my oil furnace quit working...I hunted the first couple of hours and then had to go home and work on my furnace to keep the pipes in the house from freezing...BUT I was still in the woods opening day for the first couple of hours...

Maybe while your in Nashville you'll bump into Luke Bryan or Blake Shelton and get to talking about how you are missing the opener and they invite you to one of their private ranches......it could happen!!! 

Sucks you will miss it. There is something about opening day for sure.  Breakfast here at the house with the boys then we head to the woods. Would hate to miss it too. But you gotta pay the bills. Good luck later in season.

I know Luke Bryan has 2 or 3 leases. One is in Iowa, another in Texas and I think another in Kentucky. I’d hunt with that guy any day. Just seems like a great guy.
