Archery opener

[harvey lee]

This weekend is the opener and I will be traveling to NoDak. Is anyone else going to hit the opener or am I the only nut that is going to deal with the warmer weather?

Good luck to all if you venture out.

I am going to try to get out somewhere this weekend. I have a permit to hunt in Fargo but I am thinking that may be a late season thing. I haven't had a chance to do a whole lot of scouting but I do have a pretty good idea where the deer are moving pn some other land that I can hunt. I'm definately not excited about hunting in the heat, though.

Bring with lots of ice!

Good luck this weekend guys!

If its that hot, I will be working on other things. I keep a freezer there for the hot weather. If needed, I will skin and quarter and then place in the freezer and place a 2x4 in between the lid and freezer and then it acts like a walk in cooler.

Not me- I've got a b-day party for my littel girl (her 1st birthday!)

Good luck, Tom. I hope you have a big ol' velvetty giant walk by at 12 yards!

Maybe I could hit one that close. I hope its not to warm or I will just be getting things ready for the handicapped hunt at the end of Sept.

Forecast looks like it'll heat up this weekend. Bummer. If you don't get any work done out there, let me know- I'll do my best to run out there and take care of whatever you'd like.

I may take you up on that Scoot when I start to do the baiting for the handicapped hunt. Its hard for me to bait every week from Minnesota.

Thanks for the offer.

[Scoot]

Yep, I should be able to help you with that. I'll be gone Sep. 11 - 20, but will happily buzz out there both before or after those dates. It might work out for me to bring my little boy out and have him help me- he's pretty interested in deer and the woods, so it'll be a god chance to fuel the fire a little bit. Just let me know when and how to help.

[harvey lee]

Well, I got my camera's up, stands up and my blind and bait started for the handicapped hunt I guide for. Also placed up 84 No hunting and tres. signs along the fences.

Way to hot to hunt and a lot of fall left to enjoy some cooler days with the work done.

I definitely was a cooker. Anyone else make it out?

FYI... we ended up with 1.25" of rain last night in Lisbon... should help things out around here quite a bit.

I was thinking of you this weekend Tom. Definitely a cooker out there! I wouldn't have bothered sitting in a stand either. This week looks a lot cooler though. Maybe next weekend will be better? I hope so!

1.25" in Lisbon? We got over 3" at my place in West Fargo! Definitely welcome rain though...

I was going to bring my son to ND archery hunting next weekend - anyone know how long it takes to get the archery tag in the mail? I'm assuming the archery license is similar to the tag issued for rifle hunting.

[harvey lee]

If you apply online, I believe you can print outr a number that will allow one to hunt right away.. Or maybe its the license purchased by telephone. One way it does work.

One could also stop at a Schells and purchase one as they have always sold them. I would call ahead to make sure they have them on hand.

[marine_man]

I'm with Harvey Lee.. I'd stop and buy one over the counter (presuming they're still available) that way you don't have to worry about when you receive it.
