whats your first date for hunting this fall?

[Robhuntandfish]

So where does the fall hunting season begin for you?  Early bear season in sept?  Sept 1 early goose season?  Maybe a sept squirrel hunt?   Mine is generally the big Oct 1 southern bow opener.  Once in a while i try an early bear hunt, but last time i went the weekend was record breaking warm in the end of sept and was 93 degrees.. blah.  I dont really have a spot to goose hunt, that isnt on one of my deer spots, that i dont wanna tread through and start the shooting. Some seasons open in a mere two weeks!   So whats the first hunt for you this fall?

That depends on the weather really like to start with small game in  Sept.  But  if it's to warm will hold off until it cools down. .

Early bow up north sept. 27 

I'm going to put a little more time in this year predator hunting in October.

yeah those early season hunts can be tough. I go the Oct 1st just cause i cant sit at the office for the first day and know i could be hunting ......cant do it.   But i dont hunt hard til end of Oct and then take a bunch of time off for hunting! Early season i hope to get that early doe on a field edge just before dark and restock the freezer.  Hate those days i plan to hunt and its gonna be 80 out.  - thats why i keep the boat handy too!

[WNYBuckHunter]

October 1st for me, I dont have much time to hunt anything but deer in the fall.

[grampy]

Bow season opens Oct. 1st, but the first good cool down after that, is when I will hit the woods. I don't like to hunt with daytime temps in the 70s.

Son in law and I are going to kick off the season with some squirrel hunting.  Cant wait... 

[Robhuntandfish]

ive always wanted to get into goose hunting but am afraid too - lol. Then im buying 100 geese decoys for yet another hobby.   So i fish to take up fun time til Oct 1.  

 

I think Oct 1 has become a bigger opening day than the third sat in Nov nowadays

[Nomad]

I was going to say Oct 1,then I remembered I told a couple guys here ,I’d take them goose hunting , so whenever that is .

[Rattler]

Squirrel on 9/1/18.   Love the warm weather and hunting with the Kimber .22.

Those squirrel are real tasty too.  Gets the craving for wild game going again.

[helmut in the bush]

9/1 come on geese

[Steuben Jerry]

I do most of my squirrel hunting from my back deck these day (lazy way), but I'll wait til the first frost sets in because I don't like those wiggly Bot-fly larva things.

I'll be out on the first Saturday after 10/1 just to get back at it, but I won't be in a hurry to hunt hard unless Mr. Right walks by me within 30 yds.

I'll be doing some squirrel hunting in September...Love to hunt'em, love to eat 'em, and those warbles don't bother me much..

In past years I have hunted the early goose season, but lately I wait until  the second season when I can shoot ducks too, unless I happen to spot a good feeding field or get an invite...Ya never know...

[Merlot]

My time to hunt is the beginning of the 2nd. new moon after the autumnal equinox.

[Bolt action]

I recently found a goose recipe that I really like. Gave me a new reason to get after em, so I'll be out 9/1.

[NFA-ADK]

I keep trying to make a date with a big 10-14 pointer but they wont LISTEN to me!!! 

 Oct 1st, if I can get off of work.  Otherwise I will play weekend warrior till mid to late October.  

[Dinsdale]

Never stopped.

Red's,Euro starlings, Chucks.....rather hunt in a t shirt.
