Yea PA it sure hurts when it's over. I'm glad I got a while before I have to go through any withdrawl. Actually I was going through withdrawl for a few days, then I convinced myself to buy a firearms tag so I could hunt during firearms season.
I love shooting does...what is the public ground you speak of? Rut is on good here in MO mobow...Had 6 deer come crashing through when I was half way down the tree.[:@] Chasing grunting and carrying on all right after dark. Mo, you sell the bow yet? Gonna be tough to let her go. Do you have a backup that you can use for the rest of the season?
Sorry for the hijack...carry on.
