48 days for my Wisconsin bear hunt and 51 for deer.  Been baiting for a week on our property and got our first hit after 4 days and been hitting each day since.  Excited if I can do it on our own property.

Bruce, thats awesome, keep us updated on how it goes! Good Luck my friend!

47 days for my Alaska black bear hunt. Im starting to loose sleep over it. I told my wife the other day that I was getting excited because hunting season is getting close, she responded " it's always hunting season". Ha.

Good luck everyone and be safe.

I have a countdown timer on my desktop.  At the time of this post, there are 68 days, 15 hours, 42 minutes, and 24 seconds till deer season.  Wait, 23 seconds, 22...

21 days 'till antelope season. I have three blinds up, and tracks all around.

I pray for NO rain

My deer season opens here in KY on Sept. 15, have been looking over FFC's on a regulare basis while shooting. FFC stands for Future Freezer Candidates. On Oct. 3-9, wife and I are going elk hunting,she drew a bull tag here in eastern KY so we are pretty pumped about that, we hope to have 3-4 deer in the freezer before we go elk hunting.

Sam it opens Sept 5th not the 15th,wouldn't want you missing out on 10 days of huntin..    .good luck to you & your wife on the elk....

I was just sitting here thinking, man this is the most boring time of the year, 53 days till deer season opens.

I took a month off from shooting the bow to chase smallmouths and largemouth bass around. First week of August we start getting serious and mid Sept will find me in CT chasing whitetails. Then Jersey, then maybe a few days in NY in October. This is the grown ups way of anticipating Xmas!

Nothing wrong with counting days, as long as you aren't ignorning the ones in between 8^).  Don't waste any waiting for another.

My fun will start Aug. 29th here in Oregon. I am also taking the 5th-11th of September off for hunting only. I got a wonderful and understanding wife!!        Good luck too everyone out there and may your arrows fly true. Stay safe and shoot straight.    

To all those with scheduled hunts in distant places, I wish you luck. For those of you that are looking forward to hunts in familiar places that are just out the back door, I wish you luck.

I`m teaching my kids to hunt. They are learning that the learning never stops...the drive to hunt never stops.

We are enjoying the summer...the blueberries, sweet corn, swimming, nightcrawlers, fishing with mosquitoes in your ear,...but we are indeed counting the days, even if it IS just out our back door.  

Ok - as of right this moment, Ohio's whitetail archery season opens in 63 days, 9 hours, 12 minutes and 30 seconds...

But who is counting?

21 days and I will be on the road to Wyoming for a week of antelope hunting then back in three weeks for deer.
All I have to do is sharpen the heads!

Just bought my plane ticket, should be warming up on ground squirrels at the end of August then spending a bunch of time in Washington chasing big game in September.  I can't wait!

I always thought that our bowhunting brothers and sisters had it better than downunder when it came to hunting. I get to go hunt deer whenever the wife issues me with a day pass.
