Title: I'm already antsy, how about you?
Post by: Ripper on February 24, 2017, 11:27:34 AM: Here we are just a few days left to apply for tags and I'm already nervous and giddy about the draw. I love hunting anytime but spring is really special for me. I love being outside watching everything green up and grow. The first week or 2 of the season you can still see back in the brush a ways, then everyday you can see less and less. Then the flowers start to show and grass along the roads grows to a point that you can start seeing where animals walked through. Then you start finding poo, and who doesn't appreciate some good poo pics? A lot of them will start showing up on here with all kinds of odd things in it. You will see boot's, hand gun's, bullets, knives, all kinds of stuff. :chuckle: I like the fresh air, the sound of the birds, seeing deer, skunks(at a distance of course), porkupines, beavers, ducks, snakes and all the other critters. It's a time of growth and renewal. I love it and I can't wait to get out there whether I have a tag or I'm toting along with someone who does. Good luck everyone who applied, I wish you success and safe travels.

Good luck in the draw everyone
