thanx guys....you all made me feel great. all you fellow PA boys are right...the night before the opener i wont catch a minute of sleep. im pumped already. i gota get my arse in the woods here quick! after i get myself shooting decint im going to spend half my time scouting and half of it shooting. i wont lie i have yet to step foot in the woods looking for deer this year. but i got alot of old faithful spots already on the hitlist. i see no reason to go chase them around and get all sweaty when i already have a VERY good idea of where they will be. i will do my part and scout but i dont need to get gung hoe and get permission and all that...i been hunting the same spots since i was 12...ALOT of mental notes of where rublines, scrape lines, buck sightings etc...i gota final check it all pre season and pick trees and hope for the best. im excited...

txrookie...that week wait after the order was a KILLER. these last few years been a killer wishin i had a bow when im sittin there with a shotgun watching nice rackers within typical bow range.

buckmagnet.....thanx for more of the tips. ill definently keep them in mind...for being a younger guy you sure know your stuff...

mo.....yep....its a piece of crap....i started the day with 12 arrows...ended it with 11....any bow that will shoot arrows into your arrows is garbage....i better give it away...nah why curse someone else....ill throw it into the river...

i agree im now a changed person/hunter already. although its only day 1 the same thing happened when i bought my flintlock. a whole new joy and love and passion. this is a fire noone can put out. im that kinda guy..when i like something and im good at it you cant stop me from doing it. i cant wait to be in the woods with the bow this season. just hope i have the cash for a climber. i may be totin ladder stands with me!! lol. i should be able to swing it. i think i get 2 checks before i go back to school then they will owe me a weeks pay. till bow season im going to try to work 2-3 days a week on weekends just to stash hunting gas money, new hunting gear etc. i got a list right now. inspection, registration, oil change, insurance, cellphone, books etc...so ill have to swing it....but i swung the bow when it was lookin impossible....
