Moose season is open September 1. To dang hot here for them to move yet. Ill go shoot some geese instead.

My son and his crew are going for the geese. This is a picture of opening day last year. Pretty typical for these guys.


I however am taking my fathers .22 pump gun out for squirrels. They are a lot easier to lug out of the woods and taste a whole lot better.

Limited on dusky grouse(4) aka blue grouse no bear but will try again in the morning.

I will be sitting within arms of reach the boy on his first dove hunt. He has been practicing on clays with his little 410. Not sure if he is going to hit any of those fast movers but he is excited to try. So we shall see.

September 1st means mourning doves and sharptail grouse and prairie chickens, here. Thinking back it was such an extremely highly-anticipated day that I would dream about 4 weeks or months! Still looking forward to it taking the kids this time.

Gonna take 2- 13 year old kids out tomorrow for first bear hunt

cranes or better put TERRIDACTIAL HUNTING

Me and Jr. going to bark some squirrels from the canoe.

I am doing the same thing. Its my sons first year hunting and so far he has only shot squirrels. And no clays either, so I just picked up another case of shells. He is excited even though he has to get up at 4:30 because we have a little bit of a drive.

Got a bear tag for zone 24 in Minnesota, hunting Sunday thru Thursday night.

I have driven out a tank and a half of gas since this thread started. I have not been able to pin and geese down to a pattern. Looks like it is a football game and doves for us this weekend.

Just went and bought a couple boxes of dove loads for the boy and myself... Don't know how much luck we'll have but we are looking forward to going.

I figured it was close MN hunters all over. LOL

They are migrating west/south/north. I wish them a good hunt but hope for better luck with them this year. Had to redirect 3 of them yesterday towards evening but they seem to be very cooperative.

all ready,come on daylight

Canoe and decoys are loaded. Be on the lake at 5:30

Good luck everyone tomorrow and stay safe and have fun

Going to hunt Geese in the morning then drive to western SD for mule deer archery opener, already filled a Pronghorn archery tag on opening day this year which was august 18th, really trying to bow hunt hard this year.

ITS HERE!!!!!

Good morning and good luck to everyone

Post your pics of opening day of whatever season it is for you

We have been in the corn field since 4 this morning set up 4 dozen decoys and 2 lay out blinds. Then about 5.15 3 trucks pull up and act like they own the place . My son and I walked up to them and told them they are more than welcome to join us but they wanted to be jerks instead. They only have 3 layout blinds and 7 people not for sure how that's going to work .But we will see cause they are set up a 100 yards from us.

Tommie that sucks

Been down that road a time or two.

We've seen one goose this morning and that's I for us, but not dealing with jerks here

Some people are just rude
