June, 12th & I HATE SUMMER!!!
Bugs, Snakes, Sweat, Heat, Ticks, Chiggers, Flies, Sunburns.......and 5 months till deer season! :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:
If it wasn't for the extra time I get to spend with the kids it would be a complete waste.
Is there anywhere it stays November all year long? :archer:
Anyone else ready for fall already?
-
I'm always ready for fall in the Ozarks. Beautiful time of the year here. It starts getting bearable here around the second week of September.

Hmmm, if you want to fight the heat, humidity, skeeters, chiggers, tics and rattle snakes, you can start hunting deer here in the Lowcountry of SC on August 15, 2007. As for me, it is not worth the fight. Plus, you have 20-30 minutes to find a deer you shoot before meet spoilage becomes a problem. I believe bow hunters lose lots of deer in August and September around here because they have to start the search immediately and they push deer a whole lot further than they would normally go.

Summer
Shoot the bow next to the pool.
Jump in for a quick dip.
Dream of Africa...only 1 1/2 months to go.
Shoot some more, imagining the target is a kudu.
Tie up some flies that I am sure will be my new secret weapon for smallmouth and largemouth.
Shoot some more arrows, this time it's an eland.
Remodel my "perfect" bass fly.
Shoot some more arrows trying not to be distracted by my beautiful wife sunbathing next to the pool.
I love the fall, but summer will do for now :bigsmyl:
-
Find a shady creek...soak...don't get out 'till you are chilled...
-
On the plus side we have more day light to shoot after working all day.
-
Dove season opens Sept. 1 Not too far away.
Fishing....fishing .... and more fishing.
-
I'm loving it guys! Highs of 65-70 degrees. Good weather to work outside and get caught up so you can go scouting for elk and deer!

Summer: Trading off all the extra crap that I had to have to make it through the last hunting season while looking at things I might need to buy for next year.
Shooting until my fingers bleed trying to relive that miss that I still should have made on that Illinois whitetail.
Glassing whitetails until my eyes bug out in the evening while trying to maintain the peace between my 5 and 3 year olds as we sit in my old jeep eating chicken nuggets.
and finally: Building up spouse points by trying to do every little task on the current honey-do list so that when October rolls around I won't hear about all the things I need to getr done before she's widowed for the winter!
-
Summer: 20-ish hours of daylight....finally!!!!!!

I went camping with kids this weekend and that part was great.
But we haven't had a good rainfall here in weeks and the flies are horrible!
They are starting to talk about declaring an official drought so the farmers can get some help from the government.
Anyone know how to do a raindance?
-
Its the same all year around for me.
Fall: Hunt pigs, go to some shoots, hunny do work
Winter: Hunt pigs, go to some shoots, hunny do work
Spring: Hunt pigs, go to some shoots, hunny do work
Summer: Go to Arkansas vist the Kids, Hunt pigs fill there freezer, play with the grand kids.

its skeeter time here !! But then again the bear season ends the last day of June.
I think BUFF gets a salute for his summer time cure :clapper:
swat swat - itch itch - oh what a relief fall is!! :)

Aug 1 deer tag-just got word of successful draw. Tamure is also drawn for the same place. We don't have bugs-much, but we have heat, no humidity, and we have forest fires, and we have NO water.
We have lots of miles of stumping to do.

You expect to tell me that the women in Indiana have more summer time fashion sense than the women in Missouri? What about all those Ozark Mountain lakes? Put a little music on the radio and mix an adult beverage after your target rounds. What was that guys name? Mungo Jerry? How about a little Redneck Yacht Club to get you going?

>>>Is there anywhere it stays November all year long?<<<
Try Seattle or the Northwest, i.e. western WA or OR. not too hot in summer, not too cold in winter. Kind of wet, but we get used to it.
My wife and I left Fla. in 1966 to get away from heat. We'd also grown up in Cleveland, so we know snow and winter. We've been here in the NW ever since and love it. When we first got here and rented a house, we asked about window screens. Landlord's answer: "What would you want screens for?" Very few nasty flying bugs.

Ready for fall!!!!!!!! I love all the summer activities but I find myself longing for a comfortable treestand and a crisp,sunny, October evening with a cresent moon making it's appearance around 2pm and a steady 5mph wind in my favor. Add my longbow with a quiver full of fresh cedars with finely honned broadheads and an unsuspecting doe coming in close. Man!!!!!

I feel your pain inhunt. Fall is short and sweet.
And during the heat its seems so far away.
Here in N.E. Michigan the mornings are cool, and sometimes I sit on the porch and have coffee until I get a chil, just to remind me of November.
The good thing is, my furnace isn`t running, the garden is growing, and since I work 100% outdoors,
work is easier.
Try not to rush November too much, cause if it gets too much speed, it passes by too fast.
My wife says that in heaven, every day is a cool, sunny, fall day. I hope there is also buck rubs,
deer runs, acorns, and bloodtrails.
Hang in there pal, time marches on. It will be here before you know it.

Summer; a great time to spend with the kids and family in general. Long days and lots of time to shoot...In preparation for the FALL!!! :knothead:
-
I was ready for Fall the first day of 2007 :pray: come on Fall
-
We don't have summer up here in Nodak, it's called road construction. Winters tend to get a little long, so the heat is a welcome site. Fall will be here soon enough. Summer is the time I can get the walleye stocked back up in the freezer.
