RE: anybody else ready for your states bow opener?
If you'd asked me that any other time in the previous 10 years, I would have undoubtedly answered rather quickly in the affirmative... This year is different, though; I hunted SO hard and SO much that I'm just NOW recovering a bit from burnout.
I'll probably concentrate my efforts a bit more this coming year and hunt a bit smarter, and then December will give way to predator trapping for me this year so I don't think I'll have to worry about that as much this coming season.
