RE: spring fever
I watch videos (bought a whole bunch at an outdoor store on sale for $1.99 each yesterday!!) and, in mid-March go "scoutin.'" Trouble with scoutin' is that if you are too good at it, come opener, its over all too quickly!!
So, to prolong the addiction, I also hunt other states, and recruit other, new addicts by "guiding" them from time to time.
Today I found out I got a Minnesota tag, but not until May 20th, my second choice. Guess I'll be hitting the road before then to feed my addiction in other states!!
