Spike:
What part of the state are you in? We hunt middle Tennessee, but I have not noticed a large number. They are migratory but we keep a good resident population all summer. I have no idea how it will impact opening day but I cant imagine it would hurt yours unless the food source was scarce and they moved on because too many in the area. However, I am not an expert. I do love September 1 every year. It is a great weekend with dad and my boys. What will you hunt over?
