Was moved from Friday before Thanksgiving to Saturday in '85 or '86 at the request of some schools. I laid out of school when I was a senior , that would have been in 77 . Killed a scrub buck in a creek at the foot of Hi-Top, trouble is I was parked at the top of the mountain and hunting alone. I drug the deer from the foot to the top of Hi-Top . Then had a flat tire on the way home. Seemed like fun at the time. The first gun hunt on Skyline WMA was always the Tuesday and Wednesday before Thanksgiving , laid out many of those too.

Really? I only remember Saturday’s. I also remember when you were amazed when you saw a deer because there were so few. What years are you talking about? 1960’s?
Hunting brings out the worst in people.

Yep I remember. My problem was we always made the playoffs and had a football game that night. So after the game me and my buddies would spend the night at my best buddies house. His daddy was the deer hunter and always took us boys opening weekend in Bullock county. We would pitch the tent and set up deer camp until Sunday evening. I miss those simple days.

opened on Friday for a hundred years.
I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

Back then there were very few guys at school on opening day. We treated it like a national holiday. I miss the doe season being Dec 26-31 too.
I came, I saw, so I killed them all......Vern

When I checked my son out Friday the excuse was he was sick. The school secretary and my wife are good friends. She said my son probly just needed some good ole fresh air to clear his illness up! Her husband hunts too. She knew. Not like anybody gives a rip

I was a kid, middle school and high school. I had pretty good grades 8th grade year. I laid out like 8-9 days hunting with dad. Had a ball. I remember being tore out of frame 9th grade year on a Friday opener. Dad got invite to go to south Alabama and I stayed home and went to school. Hunted a sucky close to home spot after school.

On the distance I like to walk to my stands: “The first 100 yards is also the last 100 yards.”
