My three year old keeps asking me, "Daddy, when are you going to kill another buck?" and he looks all disappointed that I am not out hunting. :) I have a hunting trip scheduled with my dad, if nothing comes of it, I plan on taking him "hunting" with me. Should be a blast!
HE WILL HAVE A BLAST.

Seems odd that they couldn't start modern deer on the 15th. Only 1 weekend during the season :dunno:
I think the Change of dates was only for Over65, Disabled and Youth.
The general season date for all GMU's is Oct 15th, close dates are different across the GMU's.

With the rain just coming in before dark tonight, I was chomping at the bit to get out there. Instead, I'm home watching kids.this weather is driving me crazy. Past few days have been what I like for deer and the forecast is showing another ten days of the same. Already snowing down to 5500 too. Why can't it start already!

Not to be rude, but do you have the capslock stuck on your computer? :dunno: Seems like you always are caps.
Any way, one of my older brothers is hunting during firearm season this year, I'm hoping he gets a buck... sorta...

Better kill em' clean, it sounds like there isn't going to be a lot of blood left to track em' out after five minutes. I was thinking of hunting with my bow this weekend, but will probably do more slug gun hunting this weekend. Ideally I will fill my antlerless tag Saturday morning this weekend and then may just hang in a blind w/my bow and if I get a perfect 20 yard shot at a good buck I will take it.
If you are new to slug gun hunting keep your ammo in a military ammo can on the west side or at least sealed in zip lock bags and rotate out what you have in your magazine tube and pockets after each day if you can. It takes about three days to dry out after soaking up moisture on these type of days and from what I read in this book that can make a huge difference in velocity while the powder is damp. It will dry out though and will be just fine after being in a warm house for a few days.
I haven't run nonindependent tests, but have no reason to doubt the author's credibility.

I like the forecast. I don't like the meat not being able to dry out on the outside though.What I've been seeing is that there are two storms on the way. The first is late Thursday, decent wind with a lot of rain. Friday scattered showers and cloudy. Then on Saturday the bigger storm hits, not as much rain; but high winds that last all day. Sunday, still some showers around, but sun breaking in and out throughout the day. Seems like good blackie weather.
