I have never hunted 1st season either. I have arrived early on the last day and it is sometimes mild. We have had weather from 80 degrees to single digits and snow during 2nd season. A little less likely to have that warm weather during 3rd season. By 2nd season the deer have winter coats and it seems that the warmer it gets the less they move. I think the worst sunburn I ever got was near Craig during 2nd season 2006. Happy Trails
