I whine because our season doesn't start until 10/13 but we have it all to ourselves until shotgun on the Monday after Thanksgiving.
I have another buck tag to fill and two for the ladies and the next couple of weeks will be very prime. I'm not sure what happened to the rut but I'm expecting it to be along sometime.
Then there is always a couple of weeks of slug season and a couple of weeks of ML.
I just have to keep getting out of bed in the AM!! This hunting can be hard work and requires continued motivation.
