Anyone purposely skip opening day?

MO gun opening day is busy. To judge certain properties, I have drove and observed the pressure on them rather than hunt.
Time well spent to never show up on the circus properties.

I do just cause I hate running into the crowds

I'm definitely going this year. Haven't made it out on an opening day in years for various reasons. Then again I'm hunting private land in SC, so I'm not having to worry about the public land crowds like a lot of you guys.

Wouldn’t dream of it. I’m hunting public land on opening day. Drinking coffee in the wall tent with my buddies and the climbing that mountain before daylight and watching the sun break on opening day isn’t something I’d miss if I could help it.

Depends on where I'm hunting and weather.

Skip opening weekend of pheasant in SD every year. Let everyone get it out of their system the first weekend. I go grouse hunting on the prairie instead and don't see another person.
