Not even close! Mentally yes, but my gear is all scattered about from archery season. Got to wash the orange and underclothes and stuff the Action Packers full of supplies. Gather radios, buy snacks, treat boots, make sure the .270 is sighted in,etc... ugh. Yeah.. I still got alot to do. Come monday, I' ll be ready though.

Sit tight, put a big tree at your back, and, since your hunting state land like the majority of us, maybe you' ll see a deer. Good luck!

The PA guys are ready and so are the PA gals, and so is my .270 !!!
Heading for camp Friday morning and I don' t return to work until the 8th of December. Ye_HAW!!
The best time I spend with the family is in deer season.

Good luck to all and be safe!

Yep, Can' t wait. I put a new scope on my 30-06, sighted it in and it shoots great. I can' t wait with 1 week to FDD. The clothers are washed and scent free, with hemlock branches in the bags. I have washed everything from my hats and back pack to the new snow cover suit from Gander. I have my blind siting and waiting to be put up. Saw a few deer yesterday and hope they come back during the day.

LOL....
