So, I just snapped that opening day is the day after halloween. Which totally sucks. I hunt public almost exclusively and was hoping to get out there early friday afternoon to make sure I was in line for a good spot(First come, first served).

But I know without a doubt that I will be expected to be with the family Halloween night. It's a major dilema. Looks like I'll probably have to settle for the lesser spots. Oh well, maybe a lot of other will have the same problem...

trick or treat in the line for a good spot. Take the family. I predict nothing but fun all the way around!

No way i ll miss the opener. But i ll scaut that friday.

Since I will be in a layout. My Elvis costume will be just fine.

Atleast you get to hunt. I have a work training from Nov 1st-4th. Get up early for a 4 hour drive prior to the training, so it will feel like im getting up to go hunting, without the enjoyment of hunting.

Gdogg, you aint nothing but a hound dog!

I can remember a few openings following Halloween. Wait no I can't.

I thought you were supposed to be in a pit blind? Did GE Construction let ya down?

water retainage would be an issue

GE construction is building us a blind made out of straw. Should be interesting? I'm bringing my layout.

just get out there after the kids are in bed or after the parties have started to wind down... Im sure your not the only one with the same issue!

Scene control. Get some.

That sucks bro! You're right. At least I get to go...

Just get up late and go boom scout. Can't be bothered with public on open morning, that is why I got my lease.

You guys are going to miss all the fun. Opening day on public can be a circus for sure depending on where you choose to hunt, just part of the fun watching everyone.
Can't wait, and yes I am in the same boat as everyone else, my wife has decided to have a Halloween party so no sleep for me either.

Im skipping everything till November 4th.

Kids are grown so no problem. Wife dont like handing out candy by herself but hey I dont make the calendar.

show up to the spot in costume

That's how you always show up to your spot.

Told my wife and kid i was going and they said have fun we will be on the couch watching movies , we are not big on the halloween thing never have been.

Im skipping everything till end of january fo sure

On halloween, i ll connect my stun gun to my doorbell and crank up the front sprinkler system and leave to see a movie with the wifie, to return by 9 just in time for bed to be fresh for the opener.

I give out candy to the kiddos till 9:00 or 10:00, then I go to bed.

Problem solved.....

scene control FTW
