Is anyone else from Michigan and if so are you ready for the big day. With a new job I weaseled my way out of work. I sighted in the gun last weekend and i'm going to check the blind this weekend. I love bow season, but Opening day has a special spot in my heart.

I grew up in Michigan and I remember school being shut down for the first two days of season. It was beautiful especially if season started on a Thursday. Its pretty much a state holiday up there.

I am from your neighbor to the south, and the night before gun opener is like the night before Christmas. The coveralls hang by the chimmney with care while the hunters have visions of bucks in thier dreams. It is very magical in most rural spots in the midwest. Some folks don't understand, but we do.

Ill say this IND_NRA I'm from Indiana to and its a completely different event up there in Michigan! I'm giving up opening day down here to spend it up there. The bucks are bigger down here for the most part but its that atmosphere that I'm going for well that and the pasties (if your from Michigan you'll know what I'm talking about)
