Judging by the number of posts lately involving formulas, calculations, tests, theories etc.., there apparently are no hunting seasons open anywhere!
Worked up 6 arrows today! :biglaugh:
I was thinkng the same thing Jim. I've been tinkering a lot lately....just to keep the trad juices flowing.
Just jackrabbits, yotes, marmots and ground squirrels. Also does not seem to be much acrimony this month
All ways something to hunt around here.
if I understand where your going with that I say your wrong about nothing to hunt because there is ALWAYS something in season or not even regulated and open all year.
but you may be right with that theory of not being able too hunt though because some guys its just too hot, some there's too many bugs and ticks, some have to do family stuff , and this is when most bow buying is done so you'll hear tech questions,,,, once hunting starts we'll hear all the which broadhead, which stand, which camo, my shooting is bad I'm quitting, can't find any blood, deer did this when I shot, and of course the first trad kill-- what's cool is everyone has a camera now .
Heck no Jim.
I am getting ready for my Wyoming hunt coming up in September and there is a lot of prep, purchases and dreaming going on here in N C.
Now I can understand the possible boredom there in "Loosiana" since it is so dang hot this time of year. In fact the only "huntin" I would be doing is looking for the TV remote, and that might be questionable.
Rick
here in NC too Rick with all the rain, my boat is coming along nicely.... :biglaugh:
I said there were apparently no hunting SEASONS open. Once Sept/Oct rolls around I bet most of the posts concerning mathematical formulas to find arrow drop in tenths of an inch at 17 1/2 yards, ----bow vs. ---- bow, kinetic energy variations caused by f.p.s. differences between "skinny" and regular diameter shafts etc... will pretty well dry up.
Still mending a broken arm here so I can't even shoot! Just lots of day dreaming and watching hunting videos.
A thread about boredom is surely a symptom of boredom.

I was in the woods all yesterday morning checking cams, stands, etc. I started unlocking a LW Hand Climber to bring in and check out when I noticed about 5 ticks on my hand and sleeve. The seat was crawling with them. All down the channels, everywhere.
I left it and will have to take some homebrew Permethrin, spray it down and go back again later to get it.
Luke, you may be on to something. It's hard to be objective about yourself but I may just be bored and too lazy/too low an I.Q. to to come up with a high-tech post.
I'm bored, too Jim. Nothing wrong with that. Set some cams last weekend, now not much to do but wait.
There's always bowfishing or just exploring some waterways by canoe :dunno:
Rick, I still envy you your Sept. hunt in Wyoming but I will get away then myself. I am going back up to MT. for 10 days of fly fishing. I have a cabin in Seely Lake which is east and south a bit over the Mission Mts. from Ronan. I will get over to Dan's a couple of times to fish and bother him and shoot his stock bows unless he reads this and hides them. I am definitely looking forward to getting away from this heat. Best of luck again on your hunt and what's nice about cutthroat trout is you don't have to be lucky, they're hungry in September.
I cut and installed inserts in 2 dozen Axis n-Fused for my brother yesterday.
I'm headed to what many consider a bow hunter's paradise at month's end and I'm not even taking a bow. I'll be watching over a party of 48 people. A few of them are going to hunt.
Theres other game besides white tails.

Rabbits are always fair game here in Kansas plus squirrel season is on now. The ticks and chiggers are bad this year tho...
I'm participating in the traditional archery events of the Sunflower Games this month so trying to get in some practice between shifts.
Busy preparing for them. Food plot prep, shooting lanes, trail clean up, foot bridge repair, trail cams, shooting lots of bows, gear round up. No time to fish.
I'm bored. Been raining here off and on for about three weeks. Not had a dry day this week. Still rain in the forecast. Been trying to keep myself entertained. Sharpening broadheads, fletching. Oh well it'll quiet eventually. God bless.

well its time to gather up who ever is there and do some camping up north or near the coasts,,,,, there's always scouting and stumping, plus grilling the meat you got last year while sipping something cold isn't a bad thing either--- maybe some 1000yr old Tenkara fishing is in order too.
It's been over 110 here and I just ain't going out! except at night to watch our mountains burn up. It started by a lightning strike last week and they ignored it because the terrain was too steep, now it's over the top and going down the other side. That sparked them now they've got planes and such out there. It's a shame to see such a beautiful place as Carpenter Canyon looking like a bed of coals at night. Not to mention all the deer, elk, mountain sheep and small game destroyed along with the habitat.
the east coast has been underwater... I saw a guy walking his goldfish yesterday :scared:
shooting at the club and making shafts, just waiting it out!
We (three) just reset our club's 3D range. That took us a few days as we worked until it got to hot and the hills got to steep.There is always something to do at the range.
Also working on a bamboo fly rod for the wife. Hope to get in some fishing in the mountains of Az. next week.

I can understand your concern but naturally occurring forest fires are nature's way of keeping the forest healthy and growing. The build-up of vegetation can prevent seeds from germinating and stop the growth of new trees. As long as nobody loses their home, barns, vehicles, etc., forest fires ain't all bad.
