I always make opening rifle. Had a funky mature buck (most would consider a cull) show up on the cell camera 30 minutes ago. Have not seen him in a year, only have three pictures of him the past two years. If I can punch my tag on him this weekend I would be ecstatic.

I'll be out with the kids Saturday morning for sure. Opening Day is as big as Christmas in both mine and my wife's family. The oldest boy is driving in from Lubbock tonight (he's a senior at TxTech), and my daughter is driving in from Huntsville tomorrow after class (freshman at SHSU). They each hunt by themselves. I'll be sitting with that little bad one, my 14 y/o son. He's killed a couple good deer but I still don't trust him to sit by himself!
This weekend was always a huge event when I was a kid. Dad always hunted with a recurve until the mid-80's, when he got a Jennings compound.
It's just a huge event, and not just the hunting. Being at the camphouse ALL weekend long and the food, beer, etc. I've only missed a few openers in my life and have called in sick before to be there. Can't wait.

Hunting is in my blood. My dad would take me when we hunted in the Texanna river bottoms before it was lake Texanna. Then we got a lease at Morales hunted there for 21 years. I have missed 4 opening days in 64 years, I was in the Marines for 4.
My daughter is 21 and she will take my spot this year. She killer her first at 6
