Opening day buck?

Fugg no! I'd be tickled pink!!!
Not only could I enjoy a season of doe hunting, duck season would be wide open and I could focus on getting Tracie a good deer. It would be the ultimate blessing hunting wise!

Yes it would lol... Actually did that back in the 90's.... Doe opening day and a 6 point the following Monday (no Sunday hunting back then) two days two deer and my season done....
Spent a lot of times chasing bunnies and a beagle lol....

Yes it would if I had something worth going in after. In all my years I've never had a good early season kill, or spot that produces good deer early in the year.

Not this year! I'd be thrilled to be done on opening day! There are a lot of great things to do outdoors aside from freezing on the side of a tree.
Not at all.
I would focus more on trapping this year. Like Brock said, there are better things to do then freeze sitting in a stand on the side of a tree.

Shooting a buck opening day is not even on my radar. If it's a big one, or the one from last year in my avatar I would not hesitate and would spend the rest of the season doing other things after topping off the freezer. Maybe kill a bunch of coyotes, little bit of fall fishing, take my daughter hunting and focus on getting her a deer. I'd find stuff to do so it wouldn't be bad and beats freezing my butt off like last year.
Having a big one stroll in before a doe Saturday would be highly unlikely at my spot and the plan is to shoot a doe.

No problem swallowing that pill....
Tagged out on a mature target buck on the first day? Yep.
Like others have said, I would concentrate on my efforts helping my daughters on their season.

If I could kill my buck opening day it would be god sent. I could concentrate on getting my boy Jace and my daughter Karly their first ones. I would have more time too trap and coyote hunt and get back to putting my own furs up. But chances are I won't kill the two bucks I'm after all year let alone the first day. Im just hoping to put meat in the freezer the first week or so and I'd be happy.

If I shot the buck I've hunted the last three seasons on opening morning you can be sure of one thing. Bitter would not be in my vocabulary, how SWEET it would be. I be calling raccoons like there is no tomorrow starting mid November.
