Personally i think opening weekend is overrated the older I get, but it is opening weekend of bowhunting, it is more the tradition for me to go out, then actually the hunting. Like this year I went out at 6pm Saturday and was back at the lake at 6pm sunday. Not because there aren't good deer or places to hunt but because I know firsthand how the numbers have grown on public land and I get it, people fall in love with the same thing I did years ago being able to take off over a stretch of 4 miles and hunt all day if you want. I just think it would cut down on the congestion in these public areas if the state deemed resident only the first two weeks of bow season. I am pretty sure all the tags would still sell and it would give the resident gal/guy who can only maybe hunt with their kids on a holiday weekend a little less competition and maybe give the deer a little bit less stress from being stampeded through the grasslands by every wanna be Eastman NR out looking for velvet. And if you really think its about me being selfish, I would send you a picture of my bow sitting at home the first weekend every year. I personally just would rather see our ND residents get a first crack at hunting ND before it gets swarmed over by the sconis and sotans, like has been happening more and more each year.</p></blockquote><p></p>
