Buck, I know I found myself in somewhat of a sad state this year as well but get this-

My neighbor asked me why I shoot so much. Then stated he just pulls his bow out a week before season and makes sure it still on, hasn't had to touch it in 3 years[8D]. He's shooting mechanicals so IHO he's good to go.
What really bites is he's hunting posted land and will probably take a monster while I'm staying honest on my crappy piney woods lease and will be lucky to get at shot at a 100" deer.
Oh well, time will tell.[:-]
