What’s your predicted first day out for archery

[grampy]

Probably the 5th at least, for me. 

[Bolt action]

I'm showing a 20 degree drop in temps from 10/2-10/3.. I'm itching to get out there and this front should have them on their feet.

[sodfather]

10/1 regardless... How does anyone get through the day knowing it’s finally here 

[Cabin Fever]

Right now, I plan on going out on Oct. 1st. Hunt until ~10am, go to work for 4hrs (~11am-3pm), then head back to the stand for an evening hunt. BUT, I want to see what the weather is like first...

[Nytracker]

80 degrees ... sun ... bugs ... to many leaves .... squirrels  galore.  Lonely button bick camping out under my stand 

[JALA RUT]

10/1 PM hunt after work for the opener; hopefully in stand by 2.

Will be missing the first Saturday of the season, 10/5 as I'll be checking skydiving off my bucket list that day but will be back in the stand on Sunday; well, that is if all goes OK with the jump on Saturday!

[BigVal]

Probably sit the first evening at my house then nothing until the last weekend of October then I'll hit it hard.

Out of town plans on the weekend of 10/5, so 10/12 for me.

I’ll spend opening weekend over this pond. Even if I don’t see any deer, it’ll be relaxing as hell.

Yea... it’s gonna be warm, but I’ll be covered head to toe to avoid bugs.   I’ll be up on an oak ridge overlooking  a few apples trees where a field hits that pond.  Praying for a West wind to cut down on bugs and push my scent far, far away.

I'll be pacing and pissy at work.

Even though I dislike bow hunting in the rain. Would always get a Deer Search call after a rain, when some hunters blood trail got washed away.

I no longer hunt with a vertical bow, but since a crossbow is often considered "archery equipment", my first day might be October 17, up in the northern zone.   If it is too close to dusk, by the time I get up there, my first day will be Friday, October 18, then it will be three more days of ML hunting before I drive home (no sense hunting with a 50 yard single-shot weapon when one good for 150 yards is legal).    My second (or third) day of "archery" hunting will not be until around November 5 , when crossbow opens up in the southern zone.   In between, I  may head up north for a few days of rifle deer hunting, and I will definitely try to punch that fall turkey tag, at home with the shotgun, on a nice young tender hen.   Those drumsticks were delicious in the crock pot last October.

October 5th.  VT opener.  Gotta go out opening weekend to get that feeling.  At the very least I can make a couple observation sits and do some of the scouting I haven't been able to get to.

Moog cannot kill 2 bucks on 10/1, unless he comes to 3S!

Moog may just break 3S if he shows up here.

I won't be out for 10/1 or 10/2. Hoping to get out for either 1-/3 or 10/4.

The weekend of the 5th is rebuilding another floor in my home if weather cooperates. If the weather id crap then the weekend of the 12 will be the floor.

I will be out as often as I can during the week after the 6th.

 

I don't usually get to hunt all day, I can get mornings in, but afternoon evenings are hard due to being the house cook, and I don't like using my crock pot for everything.

[Moho81]

10/5 and 10/6 for me. It will be a good weekend
