filling the air right now.I love all of the different smells that each season brings.

Less than four weeks.

I'm going nuts.  I've been scouting.  I've actually spotted deer. and after a frustrating season last year I can not wait for an opportunity to close the deal on my first trad whitetail this year.

Here in central N.C. its hot just like this during the first half of bow season then its starts to cool a little in late Oct. and early Nov. BUT I love it when its HOT because no other fool but me will be out in the deer woods during that time and the deer are still in there late summer feeding paterens which is very easy to find . Its also a great time to get a chance at a good buck in full velvet !

8 more weeks, here I can feel it . I got the fever bad!!  :(

going absolutly retarted here.      

Yes i have been at the hunting cabin the last few weekends.

i been retarded ever since the last day of last season...gets worse every year...hmmmm....maybe i'm just plain retarded  

Those sounds and smell never leave me. They haunt me every waking moment....I love it..

Oh Yeah, the days are getting shorter.

Yes it is getting shorter I have two days to my Antelope season and then the following weekend is Deer season.

I feel like I'm missing out on something   :confused:  

This'll be my first deer season & at the moment, the confusion is outweighing the excitement!

Don't know where I can hunt, don't know what to look for, don't know how to hang a stand, don't know if I need to hang a stand! Can't figure out the durn seasons (it's open, it's closed, it's a quota/non-quota hunt, youths only etc...) Can't work out where the public land is, or who owns all the dadgum woods or bean & corn  fields that surround me.

I tell ya, I need a 'Dad'!  

sounds like you need a platt book to clue in as to who owns what and where to ask permission.

I need a whut now?  

I started feeling it in June and it just builds up until the opening day in September!

I was up at camp last week end had a 2x2 mule deer still in velvet 10 yards out side of camp looking at us,we also saw 26 Elk with 2 spikes the rest cows and last night I helped drag out a black bear about the same size as Tom phillips has this week end I will be Bear hunting can't wait!!

Absolutely, going to set up hunting blinds the next few weeks.

my neck is swelling up as we speak.
