Opening morning

[Jonah Strauel]

I'm taking my wife out! She's never killed a buck, we are going to sit all day, really hoping it happens! Very excited for sure! Epic weather

 

[rockhousehunter]

Heavy rain and snow here at daylight. I may sit in the truck if it is doing that at 5:30. I don’t want to get my shit wet walking in.

Yeah, I don't do that shit anymore either. I've had deer move in a light rain but never in a moderate to heavy rain. Killed way too many to set in that crap.

 

[rockhousehunter]

A deer hunter could not ask for a better weather setup then this weekend coming up,I will be there...

Killed my biggest buck after getting soaked from daylight until around 10 or so when it quit. I’ll check the weather early and decide from there. Looking like we should be dry here until 9:30 or 10 so maybe I’ll hunt from daylight until the rain starts. I’m off all next week and then a couple days the week after so I’ve got time.

I’ll have my orange poncho on sitting in my little brush pile ground blind by 5:45. Looking forward to a great day. Let it rain or snow, I just love being out hunting!

 

[James Scott White]

This rain should quiet down the woods.

Yeah. It’s a bitter sweet. Quieter walking in, but I was enjoying hearing them come from a mile away this week. It’s gonna be an awesome weekend.

My pops who’ll be 81 in the spring, just had surgery on both eyes early October, is gonna drive an hour north to meet me at my house in the morning then we’ll head to the woods. Another good hour before setup. There’s ya some motivation!

Weather looks great for a gun opener. Good luck to everyone. I have 2 days left in Kansas then back to Kentucky or else I'd be out tomorrow with y'all for sure. Bow in hand lol

 

[WaterDog88]

I’ve got my tree umbrella and a poncho packed in my day pack. I can keep myself and my gear semi dry with those things. I’m packing a synthetic stock -06 with a rattle can paint job so I’m not concerned about my rifle getting wet

I get it, but I ain't doing it no more.........

 

[xbokilla]

Don’t let the weather keep you away. It’s awful here. Snow would be an improvement. Y’all know I don’t hunt the best of places and saw a nice buck running a doe right at 8est. Then had a button grunting like crazy almost climb in the blind. It’ll be slow but things are happening. Those of you with several good bucks may just get one today!

 

[riverboss]

People won't set long about 10 they will be going to get dry and warm deer will get moving.

 

[Drahts]

Blowing hard and rain still in EKY and 38. Chills to the bone.

My rifles 104 years old. If it survived two world wars it’ll handle some snow melting into the action.

I did pull the bolt and wipe it down after this morning 🤣. Put an ear plug in the muzzle, snow kept building up in the front sight housing.
