Just bought my tags. Standard archery tag and two antlerless. 4 deer and 2 turkey are in trouble. My broadheads are sharp, the finest of them selected and filling my quiver, and I'm fairly certain that my sights are on ;P.
I'll either be out wednesday night(probably not due to church) or thurs. morning. I'm excited!
So who else is getting the itch for Wednesday?
I like to put things off till the last minute. Then I can stay up all night before the opener trying to find all my stuff, make sure everything is sharp, you know...it makes it more exciting!!! :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:
Actually, I don't like it, but I always end up doing it that way...LOL!
At least I remembered to have my wife pick up my tags before opening day this year!
Then you are doing good! I'm still trying to find all my clothing and gear. Work and everything else has kept me from my usual level readiness. But I can't wait!
i usually dont get started till october, but im gonna try earlier and get the freezer full before the rut gets here, so i can concentrate on the big one. :saywhat:
I'm ready and excited this year.
I've been hunting public land for the last three years (seeing mostly other hunters) and at the end of last season scored permission to hunt a nice little piece of private land that's only 5 miles from my house. It's a 10 acre hay field that's surrounded by timber and crops. The deer use the hay field to travel between bed and the corn/beans. I'm limited to stand hunting along the fence row, but can still to go to the public woods to still hunt when I want.
I also have access to a 40 acre farm that's 90 miles from me that I hope to make a couple of trips to this season.
I won't be out tomorrow, but I'm hoping to scoot out of work early on Friday.

I'm good to go! Have an arrah/broadheads combo that have already killed an antelope doe and a black bear, both on opening days! Hoping for more blood tomorrow after work!
get ready ? My stuff is still packed from our bear hunt. Off work tomorrow so here we go. Too bad about having to work Brad. My boss is doing a freeby and I am hunting.
i'm ready to roll.
Good luck everyone. We open on the 20th in Kansas this year.
A little fine tuning and clothes washing this weekend and lookout.
Hey everyone keep posted on your hunts!
I won't be able to make it out for certain tommorrow. I haven't missed an opener in..I don't know how long, but its all good :)
I hope you do well in KS too!

It will be a week or two for me to get out. Eager to do so, but want a little cooler weather first. I've had a serious dry spell here lately, 6 yrs now, so I'm more than ready to stock the freezer.
Just got back in from morning hunt. Saw 4 deer. 2mature does with 2 young. No shots. Beautifull morning, clear cool and calm. Was out about 4 hrs.
Nice! Had to work this morning. We had pretty severe weather, but there was a break around 1 that was making me wish I was in a stand!
just got to hunt for a bit this evening... 1 big doe stayed within 25 yards but no good shots on her.. was nice to be in the woods again though.
