SuperDave - Yeah, I'm ready to go huntin' too! Just got back from Gander Mountain for something to do at lunch while at work and they had all the huntin' goodies are on display: camo, slugs, tree stands, scent, lots and lots of stuff to spend your hard earned $s on! Compared to all the neighboring states, the NYS season always seems to open last.[:@] Wish they would have moved the archery opener to Oct 1, but I'm not trying to start a debate here, it's just MHO. Anyways, nice that the archery opener falls on a Sat....I can already see all the 4 wheelers being trailored on rt 16 Fri night Oct 14.

By the way, have you or guys in your camp been seeing (or hearing) coyotes of late? Last year, we had 6 sightings and heard them every night yippin' and yappin.' A female 'yote tried to run past me during a drive on the last Sat of the reg season...1 oz slug quickly took care of her. Farmer down the road found a coyote den on the back side of one of his ponds with 18 turkey legs scattered about. 'yote season always open in our camp! Again, seeing any coyotes?
