Opening day rifle setup?

Summit climber on edge of big 4year old cutover. Surrounded by short pines. Lets hear em!

Me and timber2 will be getting ours kicked off Saturday a.m. at 12:01. JK.
I guess I'll either be hunting a property about 3/4 of a mile from Troy University or my place in hurtsboro that morning.

Don't know really. Might look out over the swamp bottom and the beaver pond. Isn't a front coming through Saturday? Seems cooler this year, to me. I don't do the morning much anymore and it takes a few days to really get in gear for actual hunting. Whole lot to do from now until after Christmas. I do love it though. Be a bad day when I wont be able to go.

Either in a blind watching a corner of a peanut field that gets a lot of traffic or a bottle neck in a big corn field that's a popular crossing. Haven't decided yet.

Depends on what the wind is doing that day. I have a couple options.

Wishing I was somewhere.

I'll be at work

Me too.

Headed to Tennessee Friday after work. If we get in at a decent time probably sitting on a plot Saturday morning and scouting mid day for the rest of the trip.

I'm going to try to make it WMA. so I'll be slinging my guide gun Saturday. Its my go gun for the thick stuff

Watching where three bottoms come together

I'll walk out in the back yard and shoot whatever comes by.

Gas line, road bed, or clear cut. Not sure yet. If I sit in the woods I'll just how hunt.

I'll be in Auburn at a wrestling meet, supporting my son.

Sleeping!!! I can't bring myself to hunt public land on opening day!

Finger of pines in a pasture with a ditch bottom/tree line in front of me/oak ridge behind me.
I’m concerned about weather. Long range forecast showing rain here and that could change my plans.
Also got to address the question “Will I shoot a doe if I see one?”
Game day decision on that.

Will be set up on a 3 year old clear cut. Green field behind me about 150 yards and hardwood bottom to my right that's pretty open for a good shot.

Probably a pot of coffee and sit on my front porch watching the sun come up

At the house with my three kids while the wife works and I’ve worked all nite sounds like a relaxing peaceful sit

wind is supposed to be from the southwest so, in a ladder stand, watching about 100 yards of a trail between the thicket and a small pine planting, OR on a little ridge in a lock-on, about 50 yards off a powerline right-of-way.
things could change, though. i've got four days to mull it over.
northwest wind on sunday, so ...

I found a spot and hung a lock-on Saturday. I’m on a small creek bottom where 4 ridges merge together. Fresh clear cut on top of 3 of the ridges with fingers of hardwoods running the bottoms & a THICK bedding area behind me. Hope to catch him heading to bed. I’ll have to get there well before daylight since my approach will be exposed, but it should be worth it.

looking down into a creek bottom that is covered up with acorns

Looking like rain so prob a shooting house over a green field
