26, married, and the wife won't let me have kids yet. I guess I should just enjoy the little extra freedom while I have it. I also hunt in Southern Ohio. Since gun season is only 1 week and it's still nearly 2 months away, I'd say get out there with that crossbow! If you don't get close enough to anything to get a good shot then you still have gun season, then another 2 months of archery after that.
Good luck!
