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 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!

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.

Tough break. I've been lucky enough to find jobs and a wife who understand that hunting is an imperative. I'm very fortunate with both.

Truth is I'm ready for a good time with friends and family, getting out in the woods and pitting my skills against mother natures tastiest animals. I was lucky enough to draw the multi-season elk tag so with any luck I will have a photo of something to post by the end of the season(s). :) So to answer the question, Yes I'm ready, WAHOOO

True.......I can always shoot some in camp to make adjustments....first I have to figure out how to mount the thing.I thought you said you don't shoot in camp? Witch by the way was about the dumest thing anyone has ever said to me. I shoot everyday in camp.

Dont worry about mounting it. There only there for looks anyway.

I explained this to you....It's not that I don't shoot....It's that I make sure my last shots before I put a pin on fur is dead on. Its a confidence and mental thing. If I start jacking around in camp and shoot like garbage I may doubt myself when it is go time. I've done this with rifle and bow ever since I started hunting.
:yeah:
Bow sighted in. Shots dead on at 4 different distances....Dont touch it!! :chuckle:
Superstition thing for me.

Your crazy. Your one of those I only need 6 broadheads because I can hit a paper plate at 50 yards most of the time guys. Where I like to be hitting a tennis ball out at 80 most of the time. I have had stuff happen to my bow while hunting that can't be explained but go from shooting dead on to 6 inches low :dunno:. You font shoot you don't know that you miss your one shot at an elk. I'm not talking a bunch of arrows I'm talking 2 or 3 quality shots a day then call it good. I have to much time and effort into it to find d out I missed because of my bow being off for whatever reason.
And thats the beauty of it, we all have our own way, yet can still get it done. I dont want to shoot a tennis ball at 80yds, I want to shoot an elk at 30. I can hit a paper plate at 50 every single time tho too.

Drock is just trying to get me all wound up. Remember....this a guy that has 25 arrows made up and ready to go...probably a few more. He's just being a punk.....its all good.
Oh I know, and its funny.
