I barely got things put away from last year.........not sure if it was procrastination or just getting an early start for this season. 

I also have to say finding this site about 2 weeks ago has put me into hunting mode months ahead of when I usually get really excited.

Outstanding Crunchy! Sounds like you are going to have an eventful September. Have a great time and wish you great success this year.

I have one thing and one thing only on my mind. Focusing solely on a big Nooksack Bull. I really want to make 13 years count on this hunt. I am not superstitous so I don't have to worry about the 13. Last night I spent another 4 hours at the TSC working on my form etc, etc, etc. Things are coming together. My bow is shooting bullets through paper so that is out of the way for the time being. Things are looking good!

Man I can't wait!  I saw a buck on Tuesday that I would love to take.  A decent 3 with a 6" droptine.  First droptine I've seen.  I snuck to within 35 yards of him and watched for a good 2 minutes until he finally spotted me.

I envy all of you that have had chance to get into the hills. The boys and I have only made one day hike so far. I probably won't have chance to get in the hills until the second week of September or so. Just in time for some Bear before Deer season.

Well, if your gonna chase him off, just make sure he runs south.  About 200 miles would be fine... :chuckle:

Got my leave approved for the first week of the season.  Going to buy my tag today.  Plan is to kill my first deer in the first week.  Not to concerned with size at the moment.  If that happens, fish a tournament with my neighbor.  Fill my turkey tag that I still have from the spring season.  More fishing, then slay coyotes to pass the winter.  It's going to be a good seasn.  Good luck everyone!  :IBCOOL:

As much as I'm excited to be able to chase deer on September 1st, I have to admit that I'm probably just as pumped at the prospect at getting an opportunity at some grouse - perhaps even more so if truth be told. Of course the reason for that is that it's been awhile since I last ate one of those tasty birds. In fact just this afternoon I fitted a few of my woodies and aluminums with Judos. Can't wait to get out there!

Tried for the four point with the drop tine that I've been watching all summer this morning - he's still alive...Saw him but didn't close the deal.  Ran out of time and had to go to work.  Oh well, now I have the rest of the season to hunt still, I guess.
