What time was it this morning? I took my oldest son out this morning. It was really light where we were, and we didn't see a thing. We didn't hear a shot until 7:43 (in the distance), next was a pair at 8:05, again way off in the distance, and the last was at 8:35, which was reativelly close.
Maybe everyone got the deer in archery season this year?

Seems like the last few seasons I haven't heard many shots whenever I got out there.

Right at daylight, then pretty steady through the morning.

We heard one 3 minutes before legal, but didn’t hear a whole lot after that.

6:59 which was 1 minute after legal and it was fairly steady until I'd had enough at 9:15 some close some in the distance. A lot was guys taking multiple shots. Either there's a bunch of deer and hunters in the next property West or they're not that good of shots which from the sound of it I'd say the latter. I actually saw something today that surprised me,I saw some little gray squirrels out in the country on that ditch behind my house. Now I've hunted around here my entire live and have never seen 1 in the country. In town yes along with fox and black ones. Dad always said there wasn't any out in the country here too and he grew up within 1 1/2 miles of Collett. I squirrel hunt the woods on the west side of that property and have seen fox and red squirrels but that's it. These grays didn't seem quite as big as the ones I saw in town but it's been 6 years since I lived in town and my memory's not the best but I got a kick out of them,they didn't seem that scared,about like a fox squirrel this time of year.

About 2 minutes after legal light, neighbor to the South. We had sparatic shooting until about noon. We have always been fairly heavily dependant on the surrounding properties' hunters to get deer moving through us on opening day. Today we had several bedded on the farm and slow walking the woods, and only had one group come hot footing it for greener pastures. The shot count was about 1/4 to 1/3 past years and all but one set was single or doubles. I know some of the problem gunners on neighboring properties are no longer there (trespassers that we helped set up a conversation with the landowner) and I believe that has helped greatly.
Day two has always been our best day so we'll see what tomorrow brings.

First I heard was probly 5 minutes before legal shooting time. I’d say visabilty was good enough to shoot but I personally wouldn’t no matter the opportunity or trophy. That’s just me.

Opening Day just isn’t the same as when I was a kid. Now because of park hunts and special hunts we have already gun hunted several times before Opening Day. Just my observation.
