I am as ready as I ever will be but I think a squirrel hunter has already helped me out with my two bucks I had ben seeing a 6 and an 8 both were pretty nice bucks not book but very nice for this area. I havent saw the 8 since squirrel season opened on saturday and on Monday was the last time for the 6 and my wife heard several shots around from my stand. They are bad about that here. It has been the same the past 3 seasons bucks right up until squirrel season then never saw again. I sure wish the DNR would start us a little earlier. I am so tired of watching bucks all summer and early fall only to have them fall a week before I am allowed to hunt them.
