Opening Day in Open Country Is Really a Test of Patience
Greg’s opening-day hunt is less about charging in and more about reading an open-country whitetail setup correctly. A tall 10-point keeps showing up, coyotes keep stirring the bedding area, and the whole day turns into a careful balance of glassing, waiting, and choosing not to.
