Hey lucky, where in Co are you from? I use to live out there for 8 years when I was a teenager. I'm in up state NY and our season doesn't start till Oct 16th. I think we start the lastest...... it sucks having to wait.... I feel your getting old pains, and then some. I have had two back surgery's. I am held together with 6 screws and 2 rods and 2 cages. I'm 44 but I think my body it 64.. lol. But, until I cant walk anymore, I will be in my tree stand every opening day... I sure wish I was back in Co. I love it out there. We didn't get to go out there to see family this year. We try to get out there every year...
