We've been working hard the past few weeks to come up with some big changes to our vendor policies to meet the changing needs of our community. Please see the new vendor rules here: Vendor Access Area Rules

Probably not. Daughters birthday (didn't plan that right). Oh well hopefully in a few years she will ask to spend her birthday in a saddle or stand.
I’ll probably be in a public land box stand in come unday morning then in the afternoon I’ll be in a tree in my saddle
I will be out. I usually make a decision on area to hunt the night before based on weather conditions. Then I figure out the exact tree based on specific wind when I get into that area.
Since season starts on Tuesday this year. Probably be in a tree for evening hunt. Don't like to take off work until late October, November time frame.

Short answer is yup. I’m not sure where exactly, but I do have trees picked out at a few locations.
Most definitely! Got drawn for an early hunt that starts 2 weeks before the rest of the state deer season. So only 17 days left! I for sure have the area picked, but have will decide on the tree the morning of. I have a camera soaking in the area, so I will pull it and go off of that last minute intel to decide the tree. And of course, with public land, I have a back up area in case there are multiple hunters already in my #1 spot.
Not sure I'd I'll make deer opener, but I'll definitely make my local WMA's pig opener. May or may not climb; probably wear out some boot leather following the edges of the wetter swamps. If I find ground 0, i may hang for a bit.
We need an eleventh option: I'd love too but both of my kids have sports that day, it's the first time they'll be playing and my wife has said under no circumstances will I miss them play so I'm going to be a wise husband and not court death.
Absolutely not. I do not hunt unless the daytime temps are below 70 and that will be a month off from our opener. All about quality of hunt versus quantity. My ideal season would be to setup on a buck bed the very first evening in the woods, shoot him, and call it a season.

If it is not 90 degrees out I will be all over it and depending on the humidity i might hunt the 90 degrees!!!!!! LOL I just can't help myself!!!
Call it a season?! Lol call it a MEAL, maybe. But that’s also because I have gone 3 seasons only hunting a week or less each. I’m itching for the woods.
I get you and I was gung ho for many moons too. As I have seasoned with age, I wont compromise on being both comfortable and productive, and honestly was not in early seasons all those years. I would have earned far more wife and family points back then had I hunted less days, but the right days. I also only hunt a spot 2 or 3x on my private land all season, and there are not that many spots. On public, only 1x per spot, so not many there either.

September 28th I will for sure be in a tree. Hopefully overlooking one of my pawpaw patches if they are still producing.
