The wild places are beginning to call me! It starts about this time every year. Anyone else getting the itch for the fall seasons to start???

Yep, the only thing that I like about summer is that its closer to the fall!!
Oh yeah!! It's exactly 100 days til the opener here in Mich.! :thumbsup:
Yah, chiggers are bad this year lol! I know! Seeing everything on my trail cams gets me ready to go!
I have that itch year round [lol]
My mother used to tell me that I was born 150 years too late.[lol].

That's funny my Mother used to tell me the same thing.
I was constantly in the woods behind my house. My Grandfather used to own a big Dairy Farm and once owned close to 100 acres. I was the first generation off the farm.
This will be my first year hunting and I am getting excited.
I have been looking at the calendar thinking about what vacation days to use. Those snowy days last year sound good about now!

It can't t get here quick enough!
Sept 7 is the archery opener here in NC. Roughly 77 days.
Just like last year, 30 minutes before sunrise, or 0626AM.
I really hadn't thought about it to much..... :laughing:
I find out the 24th, If I get a bear tag here. :pray:
Then it's deer time!
The only two things I pay any attention to any more is... are the days getting longer or are they getting shorter.
Well as of yesterday.... days are getting shorter.
God bless,Mudd
Yes, as soon as the equinox passes, I begin to think of the days getting shorter. This causes me to anticipate fall and the coming hunting season. Now if it would just cool off.
So THAT's what that itch is!
Saw my first velvet "stubs" on a young buck yesterday. Actually been counting the days down since last season ended, quite an affliction...
That sure is a welcome sight.
I don't even think about jumping ahead as I'm into whatever season is at hand. There's always something to chase...tippit
Summer...other one string weapon comes out to play (fly rod)

I wasn't itchin so bad till I looked at the cards I pulled this morning. (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v71/Iflytrout/Trail%20Cam/SUNP0112_zps6dbc91c3.jpg)
I'm ready Tom!! Saw 4 good ones last nite!
Got it bad here too. I'm already tired of sweating like crazy every time I walk outside. I'm excited for the location draws to be out in about a week for my elk hunt here. Just got my vacation approved last week!
I'm so itching! Look at what I'm planning on using this fall BRUUHAHA! (Evil Laugh!!)

I spent the morning glassing deer and elk on the mountain followed by shooting a 3-d today, yea I'm sure feeling the itch bad!!
Yep, Tom I am getting it bad. Went today checking out my blackberry and raspberry patches, saw a nice buck, wider than his ears with what looked like the makings of a nice 10 point, 30 yds in front of my "rabbit blind", a natural pine blind I planted over 20+ years ago. Have been over 30 deer and several turkeys taken from it. Wife and I are also headed to Maine for our first ever bear hunt, starting Sept. 15th!!
Mudd, you hit it on the head... shorter days are definitely what i look forward to! I have a primer in the middle of Aug up in NW Ontario... get to warm up on bears!
Best of luck to you and yours!
Heck,I moved 2 camera's & put a stand up today.
I'll be ready when it gets here but I'm having a bad case of "Smallmouth Bass Fever"..I almost enjoy canoe fishing for them as much as chasing deer & turkey..notice I said "almost"...lol
Like most, it is a year round itch, but there is nothing like the smell of a late August morning in the Black Hills that stirs my emotion.
The first hints of the coming fall. Some of the ground cover starts turning foreshadowing the leaves. The coming of elk bugling, antelope chasing,acorns dropping, first skiffs of snow, and the magic of November.
Nine days tell bunnie season. Called two big ones in and thier year old pup, the yearling was being used as a chew toy for three young pups maybe 2-3 months old. Im starting to foam at the mouth.
I try so hard not to think about opening day. But it never works. it will be here before we know it again.
Tom, just yesterday my 9 year old son said he wants to shoot a buck in velvet. I told him we need to be very nice to "Uncle Tom".... :rolleyes: ....just sayin"....
Haha I just may know where a few are Allen.
KTJ, hard not to itch after seeing the pic you posted :cool:
only about 2 months till elk season starts and yeah, I'm getting sick of 3d and ready for the real deal!
This is going to be my first season using trad gear and i am about to die waiting on deer season to roll around. Tippit, your post made me drool. Looks like you got it going on sir. I went out today and put out the trail cam too. Hope to see some nice ones.
I thought this was going to be a post about chiggers. . . .
Tippit has the right idea!
