I woke up this morning feelin' funny. I got out of bed and ****** on my knees and rubbed my forehead against the bedpost. That's when I knew I was jonesin' for hunting season again.

I just got all my days off approved for the first two weeks of muzzleloader. I can't wait, I actually have access to some pretty promising hunting land this year. No more WMA for me!

Looked off the porch the other day and there were four out there wandering around at about 150-175 yards(sorry for the real bad photos).
Gave a loud whistle to stop the big one for a sec so I could see what he looked like.

You dont know what antsy is!!! Got back from our annual Canadian fishing trip - coldest July trip ever. Only time I can remember wearing long-johns in July! Putting my musky tackle away and I'm going stir -crazy waiting for deer season! Cabela's keeps hounding/tempting me with sales. Guess i should be moving tree-stands around or shooting my bow or stuff....Maybe I'll join a gym or look at the honey-doo list.....

I'm so antsy...

I tried convincing myself that buying a bow and archery supplies would be worth it to get the drop on the "Big One" a month or so before rifle season...

But I'll wait... My new Remington 700 SPS Tactical .308 and its Bushnell 3200 Elite Tactical 5-15x40 along with rings and base were my new "deer toy" for the year.

Can't wait to reach out and touch something besides hogs with it.


Brown will be down...

@alloy: Beautiful buck! Post the pics when you drop him!

I AM!!

This cool summer has had me hinking hunting and football since the beginning of july! My buddy has got 83 wonderful wooded acres full of deer and a few yotes. If we get rid of the dogs we'll see the birds come back.
