bowhunting fever

[Bear55]

Starting to get that itch, the time is near. I can't sleep many nights thinking about deer, can't drive to work without scouting from the roads and keeping an eye out for velvet. Endlessly staring at aerial photos I have looked at hundreds of time before. Planing and re-planning my opening day setup. Going crazy with anticipation!

I got all my shootin lanes cleared this weekend, cameras are producing, food plots are mowed, bow is dailed in, I just gotta buy my license and hope the right one walks in front of me! Im pumped I just hope I have time to hunt!!!

Yep, I've got a family fishing trip to LOW next week- I'm trying to keep my eye on that. After that, I'll be foaming at the mouth for whitetail, muleys, and elk! I can't wait to get out...

Less then 60 days away!! Yesterday was my first time out checking cameras. Waiting for one nice "cool" day to throw a couple more stands up. Going to buy a new safety harness this year, and that's about all I need, just lots of practice with my new bow!! Crossing the days off the calender like a kid waiting for Christmas morning!! Cant wait for the sound of hard horns hitting and the smell of doe pee in the morning!!

Pretty hard for em to get fired up when it is 95 degrees and the deer flies are absolutely horrid. I usually don't get to worked up until mid october. Plenty of fishing and golfing to keep me busy now.

I agree there is a ton of summer left. but I AM PUMPED about deer season.

Wife and I have been shooting all the time even in this heat, deer cameras had pictures pulled once already, food plots are in the making, moved some stands already and cleared some downed trees from fields and trails.

Ya it happened to me about a week ago. Its all i can think of, last Sat. I told the wife its that time of the year to start the beard

[Stratosman]

It's an all year obsession for me...have had the cameras out for a month and a half, checked some stands. Lots of shooting too.. My buddies and I are all the same.. Sure, fishing is whats happening now, but my mind never strays far from the woods!

My neighbors have been giving me that strange "look" again.........

Everyday after work I can be found 20' up, shooting out of a Tree Saddle

I might just go sit in the woods this weekend ...oh I can't wait.

My wife just shakes her head at me and suggests "therapy for my addiction." I got out last week and sacrificed my body to countless mosquito and deer fly bites to clear a new food plot... Just wish I had a bear tag this year gotta a 400+ lb blackie that cruises accross my field in front of my camera EVERYDAY

Quit leaving Yogi Pickinick Baskets!

52 days and counting!

Definitely shifting from fishing mode to stand prep, fall food plot work, & final firewood cutting. Probably still fish a little, but we're mostly in hunting mode now.

Removed a dead tree by one of my field edge stands at home last night, which truly by coincidence made a nice field entry point for the deer. Saw a couple of deer leave the field through it this morning. They aren't very opportunistic...

It bit me this past weekend. Only thing strange was the wife laughed and asked what took you so long, usually Ive rubbed all the hair off my forehead by now.
