..........or at least until the damn heat lets up. It's about 88 degrees here in South Jersey and it just doesn't feel right. It's been in the upper 80's to 90's for months, with a few pleasant days in between.It doesn't feel like hunting season. A little heat,.......OK, but this is ridiculous. We haven't had rain in a coons age. It's so dry that I think itsaffected the movement of the deer........What am I saying!....It did, there not moving.I've been out at least 6 or 7 times and have only enjoyed myself once. I don't necessarily need a kill........at the moment, but I do need to enjoy myself, and be somewhat comfortable toabsorb my surroundings and nature during the finest time of the year.
We need a cold snap ASAP.....I'm tired of the heat, the mosquitos, the greenheads, blackflies, chiggers, and of course yes the ticks. When I get out of my truck to prepare for my walk to my seat, I'm literally bombarded with green heads. They chase me all the way to my tree, and don't let up until I'm situated up high. It seems they only like to chase me when I'm moving on the ground. Finally when I'm situated in my stand, the mosquitos set in. Honest to god I think i saw a mosquito the size of a sparrow the other day
.Little bastardspierce right through my clothing. They must have shanks as long as my index finger.
No doubt I was pumped a few weeks ago......hell, I was pumped for this season when the last one ended.I've been waiting impatiantly for it all to begin...and now it's here and it feels like the weather and insects have let the air out of my ride. I can't even get exited about my trail cam pics........their less than sub-par......The deer look dehydrated and thirsty

So there's my rant folks. It just doesn't feel like hunting season. I guess it really won't for me until I can see my breath in the air...you know what I mean,.......a little frost on the pumpkin would be nice.......NO?
So for now,..... I guess I'll temporarily go back to the off season forum and talkabout olives, tomato sauce, tacos and cheerleaders.
..............Ill probably be in the tree tomorrow morning[:@]
