I have been hunting since the first weekend in October. Bow first, then blackpowder, now rifle. I did get a nice little 7 ptr the first time out with the rifle though. But my problem is I am sitting at work thinking about hunting. I have gotten all of my deer with a rifle except for 1 with a bow and 1 with my BP rifle. But I scoped my BP rifle this year and am itching to get a shot with it. It is all I can think about? Should I see Dr. Phil?

On a positive note, I am off all next week and will be rifle hunting the first half and BP hunting the second half. For the first half of the week, I am going to hunt with my father-in-law and will be covering a field where I could get a shot to 200+ yard so I am using the rifle. The second half, I will be hunting around my house where shots will be <100 yards. I know a BP gun will go well past 100 yards but I don't have anywhere to practice past that.

The really good news is I have until Jan. 1 to get a shot with the BP gun and will be hunting hard to do it. I also have to help my wife get her first deer. So I have to get that done so I can go back after them myself.

Anyway, just had to vent because I can't wait to get into the woods.
