Default when do you ??

Get to the point where you can't take it anymore? Really, I mean before bow season comes in. I can't take anymore come last week of Aug. I just go nuts with the waiting game. Our season doesn't start until first sat in Oct!!!

This time of year is kinda my slower season for work. Gradually picks up until its balls to the wall until 1st week or so of September, then I have about a week to wait until the opener, which is usually the 2nd Saturday in September! Still takes forever to get here! Then its off to Michigan for the Oct 1st Opener!!!!!! Boy I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!

August is a long month... Landon you gotta learn to diversify your pursuits... September rolls by because I'm dove hunting, teal hunting and scouting for deer. I bowhunt almost every day of the early season.. then its ducks ducks ducks until February which yields a few late geese and a few weeks of rehab/recovery. March is fishing, April and May are for turkeys and then more fishing. June is float trip month. July is offshore fishing and by then we are back to August and my foot is tapping again.....

YO YO YO.....I'm hooked on that subject title in your last email...Yo YO YO

Although its not an every year thing for me VABOW....this is what I have going to try and calm the storm before October 1st.

(Now - May 5th) - Prep the yard, love my wife and kids & prepare for my May 5th Turkey Hunt

(May 5th - 15th) - Turkey Hunt, Forum, and Work & Family

(May 24 - June 1st) - Bear Hunt, Quebec Canada...my 3rd hunt and my last for a while.

(June -July) - I'm building a new tower blind to hold my little girls (WITH ME)for the next 10 years..

In between its family, work, neighborhood walks with the other yuppers (like you), and Corona Lights and chicken on the grill.

(During the summer) - Bass Fishing when I have a chance with my buddies...

(When August rolls) - The trail cams will come out and scouting will take place with the video cams through August and September.

Sounds like alot of hunting but there will be alot of good family time too....WHen I start flopping I just get on here and talk to you....later dude!!!!!!!
