    Probably not, I'm hunting tomorrow evening and all day Saturday, then again black Friday through Sunday. Our season lasts until Feb. 10 so I can give up Thanksgiving day to be with family.

    My dad and I always hunt Thanksgiving morning. We have the family get together every year for dinner though so we don't get out in the evening. I have always wanted to take a deer on Thanksgiving, but haven't been fortunate enough to yet. I have a doe tag but I don't think I want to take one. Our lease borders high pressure public land and I think they wipe out most anything they see so I don't need to help the cause since I already have a couple deer for the year. If a big buck steps out though it's game on.

    Not me. I'll be working. I work every holiday but New Years day. Back in the day hunting on Thanksgiving was a tradition my dad and I did. I think about it often.

    Not a chance. I work too much to spend the holidays anywhere but with my family.

    Nope. Nothing to hunt really here in PA during that time. Like Matt, I would rather spend the time with family, anyways.

    Going to try and leave work at lunch, doubt it works but want to get some things done without having to.scramble tonight.

    Still planning on getting out in the morning, if I can get another one down I will probably call it quits for the year, one freezer is full and I'll have to get the second freezer plugged in once it warms up a bit.

    Good luck to everyone going out tomorrow

    I was planning on hunting for a few hours in the morning, but it's been snowing and freezing rain all afternoon. Gonna be to slippery and dangerous to be in a tree tomorrow morning for me

    Yeah, I'll be home in plenty of time for the 3 F's. Family, food and football. May miss the opening kick off, but for the first time in 3 years I'm not hosting the day. Add in a fresh 2-3" of snow on the ground and I'm bound to see nothing :lol:

    I guess it could be one of those days with all kinds of movement but knowing you have to climb down early
