Who ready for season opener?
« on: August 25, 2013, 09:47:51 AM »
 I am so excited to get the season going. I think I have my spot all set. Been seeing deer there like crazy! Here is to hoping I can fill a tag early this season and get focused on prepping for duck season!

There is a pond where I am working and it has at least 100 to 150 mallards landing in it everyday ...I shot ducks off of it before but never seen that many ducks hitting this pond this early ....If they continue to stay there they will be in deep sheet come opening day !  :chuckle:

I flung a few arrows today.  Did an inventory of what I need for the elk opener.  Ordered new inverter to keep the garmin charged.  Rechecked weather report and saw some rain  :tup:

No it snuck up on me big time.  Setup my blind yesterday with a trail cam on private property.

I've been putting gear together, waxing boots, and shooting this morning. I can feel it and smell it and touch it. It's right there.

I need to figure out where you work so I can find that pond and slay some ducks!

  I'm going to keep myself preoccupied this week by hitting the Salmon running up the Puyallup river. Put some Salmon in the freezer and then stack venison on top! It's a great time if year!

Grain harvest is running late this year, critters get moved out of their normal patterns and are tough catch up with.  Could make early season bow hunting a challenge this year.  Have not even figured out where to set up a stand or a blind yet.  Gear is tuned and ready to go and I've been practicing on a regular basis since march, so I'm as ready as I can get considering the circumstances.
Have most of the month of Sept. & the late season to get it done.  Got to admit, I like taking a deer toward the end of the season anyway, Feels strange hunting the early season in summer clothing.
Spent most of my $$ on huntin, fishin & retrievin dogs, the rest I just pretty much wasted.
