Do a bit of research before you firm up opening day plans....try to get a handle on the weather; if Opening Day temps are in the 70's/80's you may want to reconsider, as those temperatures are very hard on the dogs, and if yours are like mine, they don't know how/when to quit. Also, in most areas there is the harvest to consider. If there is a lot of standing corn, sunflowers, etc. the birds will be in the standing crop and it's hard to dislodge them, not to mention how upset the landowner may get with hunters walking through unharvested fields.
