So far, for Rensselaer, opening day doesn't look very inviting. As far as the weather is concerned, Wednesday is a long ways away yet and it can surely change by then. But, so far, it's bumming me out. I may just sit in my blind and take my buddy heater with me.  |

I took the day off, but not so sure I shouldnt reschedule. There is no hunting pressure to make a difference for us if we start on Wed, Thurs, or even Sat. I like hunting in the rain, but snow, ice, and worst of all wind, sucks. Will see.

Good lord. My zip code is showing 3-5" snow for Tues night now. Nuts! Here high of 39, low of 27, 10 mph winds, gusts to 15. I'm guessing that the high will be closer to 36-37, and the low around 24-25. I'd reschedule for Friday off. Your partner at work will probably want to take that day off because you are scheduled for Wed off, so beat him to the punch. LOL |

I'm not sure what to do. I have two blinds set up in a big field. I took Wednesday and Thursday off. I can switch them but I may just leave it.

Since I don't usually see birds on my place till season is over I am going out just because that's what we're supposed to do.
I will be in my deer shoot house with the heater and a bunch of good food.

As expected, the forecast already changed a lot. Now saying only up to ONE inch snow Tuesday. I think I will gamble and take it off no matter what. Only thing I dont like is high wind, so some rain, snow, or just cold wont bother me. I will be hunting!

Yeah I am good. Thanks.
That's great of you to offer help to needy folk. Fulfilling the dream of continuing to hunt even in rough times would be a godsend for some.

It all depends on what the trail cams show for me. If the birds are moving through my place, then I will be out. Not liking the cold weather, but I will let the birds decide for me. Not a big place here, really only a few acres that the turkeys use, and they don't roost on the place so it's up to them where they walk.
I am getting some stray dogs on the camera, that won't help the situation either. Between night time pictures and day time pictures, there are 7 different dogs running around. Also at night have pictures of 2 Red Fox, and what I think are 2 different coyotes. Coons? I've lost count..... What looks like one feral cat and 2 opossums too.
One dog was at the neighbors, bothering his dogs, we caught it and held it here. Used the rabies tag # and called the vet to get the owners phone number, he came and picked it up. Not 2 days later it was running loose again, and has been doing so after he came to get it. I've seen it as far away as a mile from it's house.

I’ll sit out opening day then try for “no show” spots Thursday & Friday. Got three smokin hot setups scouted out on public land.   Saw no less than three bearded hens in this one flock. Crazy. One big Tom too. But I want to try one of my other spots first. |
