What firearm and cartridge are you going to use?
What is the weather prediction for opening day in your neck of the woods?
Any snow on the ground north of Hwy 29? Hwy 8?

In my area, no snow, mid 30's, good chance of rain later in the week. As to rifle, .350 or .308. If we get a snowstorm, I'll use an older 30-30 with a peep sight.

My 20" Criterion AR-15 and 260 Rem for sure. Maybe my uncle's Winchester pumpkin thrower that he gave me 2 days before he died.
Weather appears to be 40 for a high. Could change though.

Wayne, For the WI opening weekend, I'll be hunting in Illinois. Well at least there won't be any wolves around. Good luck.

Around here we are waiting for someone to shoot one of the Elk with the bright orange necklace. Wolves are abundant about 15 minutes from my house. Fortunately I hunt 25 minutes south of my house, not many sightings.

I'll have the 30-06, Remington 7600 carbine, shooting 165gr fed fusions. The Remington m700 mt rifle, in .280rem will also make the trip. That also shoots federal fusions, 140gr.
We'll be up north in Douglas Co. Doesn't look like any snow but there are some wolves.

No snow in the forecast in Price co. but I wouldn't be surprised if we got some. We got 1/2" last Friday. My .243 Thompson Venture Youth model is my gun. I am hunting alone this deer season. My son said he wants to go but said he needs to study for college. I dont think he really cares to go. The hunting is so terrible. up there.

Hey 'hookem' you just never know about that country.
A couple of my 'spies' up there tell me there are some reasonably decent bucks roaming around.
Good luck, and 'bag a biggn'!
