Putting 3 to 4 hours in on Saturday morning, then drinking a few beers and catching up with family, while waiting on the cold front to come in. I'm planning to hunt all day Sunday. I really like overcast/drizzly days for pheasants.

Almost was taken out of the game by an truck repair(new pinion gears), but wife agreed me and the boys need it and tradation is important.
We will hunt roosters till I decide it is to hot to run dogs. Then the boy and I will bow hunt deer & shoot blue rock till dark. Then some Beers & Steaks with homemade fries. :cheers:
Be safe!

That's a good upbringing. To be perfect, add the watching or listening to the K-State game saturday by night.

Like the rest of you, we'll hunt till it gets uncomfortably warm. I'm not going to tell anyone else in our group how to run their dog, but mine will run a limited amount on Saturday.
Big dinner saturday night, watch K-State, shorter hunt on Sunday, drive home.
We're going to a new area this year, our traditional host in SW Kansas told us not to bother coming (for the second year in a row). For several other reasons I think that opening day tradition is over, so we're starting a new one.

3 of our group of 6 'had things come up', so it'll just be dad, myself, and bro in law and our two shorthairs. We'll hunt until we get our limits, then watch the kstate game, and then hunt Sunday until we get our limits and then drive home.
Ahh, who am I kidding, we'll hunt until we get wore out and the dogs get too hot, then we're driving home Saturday afternoon.

Headin out Sunday mornin at 11am and drivin to the hotel, hunting Monday-Saturday. If the birds are as decent as they were last year it'll keep us interested. If not, we load up and go to Pierre, SD for the rest of the week.

She plays for the Sporting Blue Valley club in the U15 division. They play at
9:30 Saturday morning in the semifinals of the state cup. If they win, they play for the championship at 9:30 Sunday morning. I made my first opening weekend trip when I was twelve. I'm 45 now and haven't missed more than 3 or 4 during that time. I'll make plenty more but my boys are both in college and she's my youngest, so I have to enjoy these times while I can. I'll get out with my dad and boys a little later. Dad and my 13 year old lab have both slowed down quite a bit, so they probably wouldn't like the warm weather Saturday anyway.
Mine plays for Prodigy "Nationals" here in T town. We play in KC though. U13and 14 next year. I'd much rather watch my daughter play soccer than hunt at this point. Hunting will be there in 5 more years.
