Well Jersey's early fall bow season starts in 43 days & a wake-up ( Sept 13, 2008 ) What other States start early and are You going out to hunt. Here in Jersey I know so many ppl crying it's to HOT out to hunt, Guess they never been to Tejas in August, Anyway. I like to hunt the early mornings & early evenings because it's cooler out and there is a water hole not to far from my stands in my one spot.
So My question is, What State, When is Your opener & what game will you be after?
Deer opens in the northern ny on sept 27 !! Iam ready willing and able so bring it on:)
PA has an early doe season in some of its more populated management units. I think Sept. 15th this year. I'll be out, mostly sitting and watching. Same time last year I was in the woods for early doe, Saw the biggest buck I've seen in a few years, 150 to 160 class walking the edge of my property. It was 87 degrees and he just mosied through with out a care in the world. Unfortunately, he made a fool of me when late October rolled around.
Ky opens in 36 days(Sept 6) & yes I'll be out there.I'll be chasing deer & turkey,squirrel open Aug 16...I don't worry about the heat to much,if season if open I'm going no matter what the conditions are....lol..
Deer turkey and squirrell starts in Va. on Oct. 4th. I will be going out dont care how hot is is.
The part of the Florida Everglades I hunt opens for deer and hogs on Aug 30!!!
It's hot, humid, buggy, and I wouldn't miss it for anything. I generally hunt mornings until about 11:00 am. It's hard to carry enough water to hunt a whole day out there(I hike in).
I'm going on a paid hog hunt this Friday, hoping to video tape my hunt.Rabbits, raccoons, and opposum are open year round so I hope to see some.
The guide told me to bring my bug suit!
Connecticut deer starts sept. 15, but we start bear hunting in maine on aug 25, can't get here soon enough. Heat or no heat!!!
Hey tarponnut, been having trouble with my e-mail, thanks for Joaquin's #, good luck on the hog hunt. If you can send me a copy to Po box 317 Barkhamsted CT. 06063 I will try to transfer to mini dv. Good hunting, Bill
Nevada archery deer season starts... tomorrow!
I'm headed out in about 2 hours. Didn't see many deer when we went scouting this year. I'm just hoping we at least get into some. Probably a spot-and-stalk proposition, which I'm not very good at. It will be interesting, though. :wavey:
It will be a coin toss whether or not I go...I do all my own butchering and doing a deer up in 90degree weather sux! I hunt for meat and the chance of spoilage is high for me that first month without the walk in cooler but the urge to drop thhat string on a deer may overcome me!!
The Florida opener is Sept 6th. I'll be there but I always worry about my bow delaminating :-(
just pack the body cavity with ice to get it cooled down quick. O

I'll be back in NY the 20th, but I'll try to go hunt in Jersey at the Water Gap before October, maybe with Bentpole

I live in one of the counties that has a special antlerless season that starts Sept 18-22. Private land only.
Followed by the youth hunt on the next weekend.
I have a ten yr old who will be carrying his bow for the first time, and a thirteen yr old who is already a veteran. I`m sure we will make some memories, and possibly some meat.
With a wife, two kids, one stressful full time job, and a part time job on the side, I would hunt deer now if they let me. The longer the season is the greater the chance I'll get an opportunity to get away. I'll be out there mid September chasing does.

I hunt hogs on private land year round. State management lands open on 15 Aug for small game and hogs. Deer on 13 Sep. I will be hunting soon in the heat for hogs.
Leave for bear hunt on August 30 in MN. Our MO deer seasong opens on September 15th. Good chance to nail a buck while still in the summer bean field routine. Yes I'll be out there. Squirrell season is open now, been open since May, I believe. May try for the tree rats in the morning.
I heard they moved the Kansas opener to Sept. 22nd this year but I haven't seen it in writing yet.
Hey John, hows that new Orion treating You? It's taking every ounce of willpower I have to keep from ordering one!!
Bretto, it's on the website...9/22 :bigsmyl:
The first week of bear season in Maine is Aug. 25 but Laura and I will not be going until the third week. We will get home on Sept. 13, 2 days before the NH archery season opens. Bear season in NH starts Sept. 1.
Bretto order away., you won't be disappointed. I am sooting mine pretty well. Getting tuned in pretty good. It is fast and quiet. Seems to shoot many combinations of arrows and heads great. It has been a blessing to my shooting since my health problems. Just what the doctor ordered. Bow shooting is the best rehab you can do for whatever ails you.
