October 13th is opening day in the Southern New York zone. This is a special day to me because, in 1998 I got hurt while setting up my tree stand. As I was decending from my tree, my wedding ring got caught on a step and ripped my finger off! I was alone in the woods and I am lucky to be alive. It was suppose to be the first time I bow hunted but since I was in the hospital, I missed the whole hunting season that year. It will mean a lot to meI can score on myspecial day!

I have my stands in place andthe wind will determine which stand I hunt.

PS... I no longer hunt alone!!!
