arrow32 Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 I wouldn't be either man. What is everyone looking forward to most about this up coming season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkneck Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 The heat has to break before I get the urge. Still hot in October here but about early August you can tell the sun is changing position and my neck will start swelling lol. Start to smell college football in the air too, I love it, one of the best times of the year saying goodbye to another long miserable Mississippi summer.

arrow32 Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 I'm ready for college football to. But I can't wait till we start getting those cool fall mornings before bow season starts and it just kinda smells like fall ya know?lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 still tweaking my hunting bow. i would go to a 3D shoot this morning but there's work to be done while the sun shines! i'll be going to one Tues evening though. Aside from hunting a live critter during the off season, it's some of the best practice for bow season. always watching out for bucks in velvet. don't put out cams until late august. my real trigger is the first really brisk morning, the fall air is crisp, and geese honk while flying over head. ....but for now it's primarily hay season and woodchuck season when there's time.

Slash Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 On my mind too all year long. My wife thinks I have an obsession. I ain't gonna argue with her lol Mine too. However, I just bought her a new PSE Chaos. She hasn't hunted with a bow in almost 10 years so we're both getting kind of excited to start shooting together. 89 Days...10 Hours...44 Minutes til opener It's an all year anticipation for me too.

whitetailfreak55 Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 Ya I just got mine a diamond razor edge and she's starting to get to know how I feel also. She still rolls her eyes when I talk to her about hunting in every conversation. I think the last one went something like this. Her: the trees are really starting to look good with all the leaves. I love the way summer looks when the trees are all filled out. Me: ya I need to go trim limbs around my tree stand so I'll have good shooting lanes. That got a big eye roll and a speech on how we can't have a normal conversation without hunting lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhino Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 No you're not the only one thinking about it. Picked up my new bow a little over a week ago. Ordered a Bowtech Invasion 50-60# draw, came in & it actually tested to 63# so I'll start there. Wanted to drop my draw weight down. The sight I wanted should be in today. As some know here, one of my besty friends bought ~885 ac. in NE MO toward the end of last year so we have a lot of work to do before Sept. 15th up there. He's still trying to buy more adjacent it. We've already done a lot of scouting and hung 3 stands before and during their spring turkey season. Still have ~15 more ladders & hang-on stands to set. We'll have more than that going in the woods when we start buying new ones. Headed back there the end of this week to hang some more, do more scouting, and work in the woods for ~3 or 4 days. They should be breaking ground today on the camp he's building up there too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maine Hntr Posted June 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 Rhino, sounds like a ton of work but in the end I'm sure it will be well worth it! Great set ups and plenty of land! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowhunter97 Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 Its on my mind 24/7 also. Cant wait til season. Only bad part is where is was getting deer last year, I havent seen them this year. And for us it is just over a month til season starts!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elkoholic Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 Ah, anticipation, that is just as big a part of it all as the hunt itself (well, maybe not). The bucks are well on their way to growing this year's racks and I have been contemplating hunting areas for the past month or two. Most of my archery focus is on elk but I'm an old deer hunter at heart and the September 4th opener will get here in short order. Deer hunting here in northwest Montana is a deep woods experience as far as my hunting goes and with no food plots or agricultural fields to hunt and thousands of acres to canvas it can be tricky to pick a good spot, but those big boys are out there. Somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sskybnd Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 it never left my mind. been working on new food plot areas, moving stands around, trying to get all the hard stuff done before we get in the 100's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevo72 Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 Who's gonna get this forum going? Yep been on my mind also... Just bought a new rainsuit and some new gore-tex gloves. Been shooting from different angles and distances...I don't want to rush summer away though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 I'm thinking of killing a few unless they leave my corn, beans and peas alone! Kidding, but it is ticking me off. Don't know how much hunting I'm going to get to do this year because of work and school. I haven't even touched my bow lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m gardner Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 The wife and I are going to the Colorado High country to hunt Mulies in august. Just changed out the string and cable on my bow and shot my pins in to 60 yards. We concentrate on USPSA pistol shooting 10 months of the year though. Got two shoots this weekend. Between shooting, reloading ammo and working on my guns it's a busy time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
