Only 4 days 11 hours 31 minutes until deer opener. Who all heads out right away? I'm going to work a little into the afternoon then head north.

What's "Deer opener?" Been so long since I've had a tag, I don't even remember anymore...

I will be part of the "orange army" on opener. weather looks great for fishing, sun bathing etc. but ya never know when you could stumble on a bedded stud mule deer resting up for the rut.

Dropping the kiddos off at daycare at 7:30 then making the trek to the deer woods. Should be in my spot no later than 10:30. Plenty of time to catch some Zzzz's pre noon hour.

Buck tag burning a hole in my wallet! Bow tag, too. Hopefully two will be coming home if I play my cards right.

Hey if I didn't have a deer tag I'd be throwing the batteries back in the boat. Looks like a better weekend for that.

I figure I'll still be able to rattle and grunt a young 3x3 in and fill the freezer.

Still deciding....Nov 8th kinda spoils it up when you trying to plan a 4-5 day hunt, gotta vote you know.... Was thinking heading out Wed (9th) hunt till Monday (14th). Will be calling my cousin to see what the rut activity is in unit, some say its going to start early??? found place on net saying the nov 6th - Nov 12th is the window to hunt. Whats everyone's opinion on that????

Taking my 4 year old twins out Friday afternoon. Most likely just drive around for a few hours then find a comfortable spot to sit where they won't spook to much with thier talking

this is my last week of 4 ten hour days so I get Friday off gonna sleep in a bit then head out a few miles from home looking for the mature (smart) bucks that take vacation in Canada the first week of deer season here in ND.

Over the years have seen a few nice ones start working their way over the border when the gunfire starts.
