Thx, sounds like a good plan. Mid Sept. in La can still be in the 90s and very little rain. Last yrs opening day of rifle season Nov. 1st it was about 70 and I killed a water mocassin on my trail that I had walked in on that mornin. The yr b4 I was bow hunting and had a copper head come w/in 3 ft of my ground blind I was hunting. So thats why I say mid Sept. to try & get some rain and cooler weather.
