Title: It's almost time!!!!!
Post by: woodchucker on October 05, 2009, 08:55:00 PM: This morning coming home from work..... I saw 2 young basket racked bucks sparing in a field next to the highway. Man they were REALLY pushing each other around!!!!!

I've been REALLY busy,working 7 days a week,3-5 double shifts a week. I'm about as un-prepaired as I have ever been for hunting season. But today it hit me like a sledgehammer.....

It's almost time!!!!!!!!!! :archer:

Got stuff at work that needs straightening, but these arrows need to get fletched! I need to shoot more! Where the heck are my boot liners?

Fugure out where Im putting three more stands. Scout for some bear sign. Get a turkey. Bring my dog out for pheasants so she will let me bowhunt. Get my to do list done so the wife will let me hunt....

Post by: woodchucker on October 06, 2009, 03:12:00 PM: LOL!!!!! Your right there Ron!!!!!

Years ago when I was a kid, I used to be "ready" about a month before the season started. I would watch every day as my Dad went about his daily "Dadly" business..... watching for any sign that he was getting "ready" for Deer Season. If I would talk to him about hunting you could always hear the excitement in his voice,but if I mentioned anything about getting "ready" he would always smile and say something like "I am ready" or "It's not even time yet".

Then,the night before opening day he would go in the closet and get out his hunting coat and go through the pockets making sure that hew had everything. Knife,drag rope,gloves,hat,etc..... He would take out his boots and stuff a pair of heavy wool socks into them and set them by the door for morning. Then he would take down his old shotgun off the rack and wipe it down with an oily rag and lean it in the corner by the door. The last thing he would do was to go in his top dresser drawer,and take out a brand new box of "deer slugs" and his new hunting license.(when he actualy bought them,I usualy never knew) He would put the box of slugs in his coat pocket,and take the old license out of his tag holder on the back of his coat. Then he would put his new license in the tag holder,and make a point of coming and telling me that he was "ready for deer season".....

Dang!!!!! I hate to think that I'm getting just like HIM!!!!! LOL :bigsmyl:

Post by: greywolf63 on October 06, 2009, 05:08:00 PM: Sound like Mr. Vic he said he was ready but come to find out he waited till the last day and realized that he had sold all of his cold weather gear, So now I have to give in (DARN IT) and let him make a list and buy some more.
Hey don't tell him that I told you.

Post by: woodchucker on October 07, 2009, 08:23:00 PM: I saw the 2 young bucks again this morning.

It was funny,they were laying in the same field about 10 yards apart. As you looked at them,thier tail ends were towards each other and one's head was to the left and the other's head was to the right. It was almost as if they were both saying.....

DON'T YOU LOOK AT ME!!!!! :mad: :mad:

Post by: Cyclic-Rivers on October 07, 2009, 08:32:00 PM: Took a walk in the woods last weekend in Washington County and saw a nice buck. Not a monster but enough to get the juices flowing. He walked past me and a friend while we were checking stands. never knew we were there. I couldn't quite tell if he was a six or eight but it really didn't matter.
