How often do you typically have the opportunity to make a shot opening weekend of bow season?

    If you do your homework, do you typically get a shot at something opening weekend? Doe's included. Saying yes doesn't necessarily say that you actually take a shot. But do you get one?

    Every year. There might be two or three times in the last 18-20 years I didn't have an opprtunity, but if I was just going after any deer I think I would have had opportunities then also.

    Yes, I can usually muster a shot at a doe or 2.

    I hope to take at least a doe on opening day this year. I did not see a deer last year on it.

    I shot my first buck with a bow on the second day of the season. Other than that I don't remember shooting anything on the first weekend although I'm sure I've had opportunities.
