Just a month away from opening weekend, and I am pumped; I hope these next 30 days go fast! I can’t wait to get out in the field. To think more about opening weekend and get the juices flowing, how would you answer each of these questions about the opener?

1. How many people in your group? Friends and/or family?
2. How many dogs, and what kind of dogs?
3. Region/area of the state you will be hunting?
4. Shotgun and pheasant load of choice?
5. Public land, private land, or a combination?
6. Your perfect weather forecast?
7. Adult beverage of choice when the hunt is over?
