I am excited to be sitting in my stand at 6:30 waiting for the sun to come up and what might see. Last year opening day a coyote came from the opposite field into the woods and he was on a mission trailing something.
That early morning time up until 9 is awesome.
I never get in any hurry the first week or two of bow season. I'll go, but I won't put a lot of time into the first two weeks. The best part of bow season is always the last two weeks right before gun season opens. The deer are closer to the rut and the crops are generally out of the fields and the deer seem to move a lot more. The last two weeks of early bow season I will spend every hour I can in a tree stand.
For those who are going this weekend...GOOD LUCK! Stay Safe and wear your safety belt/harness while your in your stand.
