The early Season...

**DONOTDELETE** · July 31, 2008, 09:02:00 AM

Well Jersey's early fall bow season starts in 43 days & a wake-up ( Sept 13, 2008 ) What other States start early and are You going out to hunt. Here in Jersey I know so many ppl crying it's to HOT out to hunt, Guess they never been to Tejas in August, Anyway. I like to hunt the early mornings & early evenings because it's cooler out and there is a water hole not to far from my stands in my one spot.

So My question is, What State, When is Your opener & what game will you be after?

PA has an early doe season in some of its more populated management units. I think Sept. 15th this year. I'll be out, mostly sitting and watching. Same time last year I was in the woods for early doe, Saw the biggest buck I've seen in a few years, 150 to 160 class walking the edge of my property. It was 87 degrees and he just mosied through with out a care in the world. Unfortunately, he made a fool of me when late October rolled around.

The part of the Florida Everglades I hunt opens for deer and hogs on Aug 30!!!
It's hot, humid, buggy, and I wouldn't miss it for anything. I generally hunt mornings until about 11:00 am. It's hard to carry enough water to hunt a whole day out there(I hike in).
I'm going on a paid hog hunt this Friday, hoping to video tape my hunt.Rabbits, raccoons, and opposum are open year round so I hope to see some.
The guide told me to bring my bug suit!

Connecticut deer starts sept. 15, but we start bear hunting in maine on aug 25, can't get here soon enough. Heat or no heat!!!

Hey tarponnut, been having trouble with my e-mail, thanks for Joaquin's #, good luck on the hog hunt. If you can send me a copy to Po box 317 Barkhamsted CT. 06063 I will try to transfer to mini dv. Good hunting, Bill

Nevada archery deer season starts... tomorrow!

I'm headed out in about 2 hours. Didn't see many deer when we went scouting this year. I'm just hoping we at least get into some. Probably a spot-and-stalk proposition, which I'm not very good at. It will be interesting, though.

Deadbolt · July 31, 2008, 09:55:00 AM

It will be a coin toss whether or not I go...I do all my own butchering and doing a deer up in 90degree weather sux! I hunt for meat and the chance of spoilage is high for me that first month without the walk in cooler but the urge to drop thhat string on a deer may overcome me!!

The Florida opener is Sept 6th. I'll be there but I always worry about my bow delaminating :-(

My Wyoming elk season starts Sept 1, but if I wanted to hunt prairie goats, lots of areas open in mid August. Deer are Sept 1 as well. Won't be long now

Great to see others don't mind the heat when it comes to hunting. Good Luck to everyone.

I live in one of the counties that has a special antlerless season that starts Sept 18-22. Private land only.

Followed by the youth hunt on the next weekend.

I have a ten yr old who will be carrying his bow for the first time, and a thirteen yr old who is already a veteran. I`m sure we will make some memories, and possibly some meat.
