Good luck to all you lucky enough to get out on opening day. Some years I have taken a personal day to hunt the Wednesday opener, but not this year. I won't get after them until the weekend. Looking forward to reading the success stories tomorrow. Save a few for us working stiffs.

Heading to Clark County to hunt Hoosier National (near Memphis, IN) with my son in law. Two hour drive so I'll be leaving around 3:45. While tearing out my deck Saturday tore some ligaments in my knee. Wrapped tight but will be sweating bullets on the way in. Sorta hope to end my season tomorrow. Son in law scouted today. A whole lot of turkey talk even late afternoon. Just learned today that we have to cross a knee deep creek. Debating on rubber boots but with the knee, better stick with good boots and wet feet. I love the challenges of hunting.....

I just looked at the Saturday forecast and it says 100% chance of rain...great, just great. Sunday looks pretty good at least.

Haven't decided if tomorrow will be the first opener I've missed since I started or not. Working 7p-7a tues-thurs this week. Got my stuff loaded up in the truck but just don't know what do yet. The kid killed the only bird I was seeing at home and I hate to show up on public ground 2hrs late.. although I did kill my bird last year late in the morning up there..
Good luck to those who go, I might just join you after all.

I used to carry waders.. trash bags are a lot lighter Heck yes they are. After I crossed the creek I left them in some bushes. On the return trip I learned something else: they are reusable!!! Carried them out and threw them away. I am amazed at the amount of garbage in Hoosier National. Wasn't about to leave my reusable/disposable waders.... Thanks again my friend. I owe you.
