Up at 430. Hit the diner by five for some biscuits and gravy with the hunting buddies. A$& in stand by 6:20 tomorrow is my goal.

For all of you early birds, be aware that it's illegal to use a light while carrying an unloaded firearm, more than 1 hour prior to legal shooting light. So if you want to be legal, you either need to blunder around in the dark looking for your blind, hope that there is still moonlight or wait until it's less then an hour to legal light before you venture into the woods with your flashlight or headlamp.

Per the hunting regs;

"Deer hunters may use an artificial light one hour before and one hour after shooting hours while carrying an unloaded firearm, crossbow or bow when traveling on foot to or from their hunting location."

As for me, I'll be in my climber around 6:40 tomorrow morning unless it's raining, then I'll opt for a pop-up overlooking a rye plot.

Good luck to everyone and stay safe.

Not going out.... by choice. First opening day I've missed in 16 years. I just can't bring myself to go anymore. I did get in some hunting out of state back in October though. I'm hoping after this one, I won't feel so bad skipping more in the future. It's tough to give up on your home area, but sometimes it has to be done I guess.

I work until 7am then I'm off the hook to leave (I work from home). My cousin's kid wants to go out gun hunting so I told him we can go walk around and try to find somewhere to hunt that isn't _too_ crowded. I don't know what to expect, I've been in AZ for 13 years. We don't have any blinds set up, but I have an idea where we can spread out a little on a brushy slope and hunker down in some cover overlooking a deer trail skirting a swamp. I just don't know how many other guys will already be set up over there. We might just end up taking a walk, maybe trying to get into the thickest stuff we can find. We'll probably just end up driving deer for you stand hunters, but to me it's just scouting for next years archery season anyway

Good luck guys, have fun out there!
