Now that I have some time...let me introduce myself!
My name is Mark and I'm retired from the USCG working for the USPS in Va now. I've finally got my vacation time approved for this season. Last week of Oct, second week of November and Last week of December. I have a couple areas to hunt, one is a draw I won for the first two weeks of Oct in a Federal wildlife refuge. (One of three passes drawn.) Would have rather had the second two weeks...but, oh well! Also, I have sole access to an abandoned 600 acre horse farm and a 1500 acre management farm. Strict rules on the 1500 acres, so I tend to only take doe there. The vacation time I have will be in my camper at the 600 acres. I missed a MONSTER 10pt there last year and saw him again the last week of the season. I've heard from the land owner (my bro-n-law) that he's still there. Bow season starts Oct 5th and I'm so ready!
