I am for sure. Just trying to figure out what I want to do. Bow or Rifle? I may go to the Laguna Rec area just to stay away from all the crazies that come out opening morning, then go somewhere else for a rifle hunt in the evening.
I ready , but ya I'm on the fence. bow at Laguna or head for rifle territory.
I will decide friday night. :

I'm pretty excited. This is my first year hunting and I bought a deer tag. I've been doing lots of scouting, seen lots of sign. Still no deer though. I figure the best way to learn is to get out there and try it, so that's what I'm going to do. Can't sleep at night thinking of all the details of before, during, and (hopefully) after.
My main goal is not to get shot. My second goal is to learn technique, etiquette, etc. My third goal is to put some meat in the freezer.
I would say see you out there, but I'm actually hoping I won't!

Im pretty excited too. I too won't know till fri night if I go bow or rifle. But I think riffle will have a major advantage. But I may stoop. How ya gonna win both categories if ya don't try? ;D

the reason or possibly the reason is because of the full moon & the hot weather. plus hunter pressure will send the deer scurrying, & become nocturnal. you will visually see plenty of sign but no deer.
I see cloudy weather, overcast weather. this will help. go to where you have seen the most sign , (tracks & deer droppings) thats where you want to be went the weather turns cold & cloudy)
good luck man

wear plenty of bright orange ratz, and be careful.ratz said:
I was shot at once by a hunter because he saw movement. fortunate for me I was faster & ducked before he could nail me.
the bullet went right over my head. & to think I was wearing an Orange hat. he still thought I was a deer.
I am lucky to be here on this forum. This happened approximately twenty two years ago.
Wow! How does one mistake a hunter for a deer!? Craziness! I usually try and be up high on opening morning with the optics. Watch all the hunters push the deer around and try and find something worth putting in a stalk. Last year I watched 2 hunters push 3 bucks and a doe about 300 yds in front of them and they never had a clue the deer were in front of them. One was a 4by4. Some one usually gets lucky and wacks a monster on opening morning. Who will it be!!! Good luck fellas! Stay safe and watch your back round.
