Got your opening day spot picked out yet?

[SteveB]

Dislocated my shoulder last Sat. Still sore and minor pain when moving too much. Looks like missing 1st opener in 20 years.

Then I’m missing that question , couple hours at one end will do for me .

Ill go the first day because, we’ve waited all year for it , but for me Oct 28th and on is when I spend the most time on stand .

ill be at work no biggie i never start seeing decent bucks on cam until mid october have no idea where they are up until then its weird they just show up one day always after velvet is off,

Friend help me put ladder stand up last week, and I also have the ground blind in the woods. Will be out opening morning, just hoping for some cool temps.

just moved a stand today,and i like the view from there. Might be the one for an afternoon sit on opening day.

Just got a 85 acre lease. Posting it on Saturday, as well as scouting while I walk. Hopefully I'll find some good spots for stands

I’ll sit on the edge of my food plot just behind the house. It’s where most my deer head towards anyways. And it’s a easy short walk. Also easy to slip up into the tree without spooking anything. I will hunt this spot for most of October to avoid putting much pressure on the woods. Come November I’ll jump around a bit but the food plot always produces good numbers of deer morning and evening.

Afternoon sit weather dependent.   Not 100 percent sure where.  Have a couple of high likelihood doe spots now but I am thinking I might defer on shooting any does on opener.   To much work butchering on a Monday night.   Might try a stand I never sit just out of curiousity.

Agree with sitting Monday afternoon ...may catch one cruzing their summer travel route from bedding to fields.

I’m still deciding between two stands they are only about 60 yards apart. I took the day off so I may sit one in the am and one in the pm.

Just dropped my opening day hang-on stand from 22ft to 7ft at the standing platform. It sits on the hillside/bowl right above the skinniest portion of my swamp. I realized that I only had a shot if a deer snuck through the swamp within 5 yards of the edge. Otherwise the canopy restricted any possible shot further into the swamp. Now at 7 yards, I can almost shoot to the other side of the swamps pinch point. Line of sight is there, but it’s about 60 yards to the other edge (not trying to injure a deer, but may come in hand during rifle). Height from stand down to swamp level is probably still 20ft. But man.... sitting at 7ft from the soil beneath you is a different feeling.
