We have 100 days until archery season opens. I won't hunt too much during early season this year. Heat and bugs seem to bother this old man. Plus it's a pain in the arse trying to keep meat good until it gets to the butcher![:@]
Yea early season is tough. You generally stink up the area more than anything else. I love to hunt water in the early season. If you're going to get a buck moving early, he will be going to WATER !
The downside is skeeeeeeeeeeters !! I WILL NOT use thermacell, so I am usually heavily engaged by skeeter air power, while in stand during September.
Early...For public land, though...Early season is the TIME to be in stand. No pressure...
Thisis all true DT, but I CAN'T STAND sweating while I'm hunting. Not to mention, like you said, stinking up the area, especially on the walk in. That incoming assault you speak of is a real bitch!!![:@][:'(][:'(][>:][>:]
