NYBOWHUNTER11:

I hunt the entire season from Oct-Dec. I have done this for as long as I can remember. I just love being in the woods. I love waking up at 4:00 in the morning and there is no one else awake except other hunters. I love dark silent woods that awaken with the sun. Hunting is not just about the sport of hunting or the thrill of the kill or even the time spent in the woods. It is a true awakening to life. I am never as happy any other time in the year. The whole experience from cooler weather to woods sounds and smell make my skin just crawl with goose bumps. I love hunting more than life.

Hunting is like life. You plan and practice thinking everything is just right and suddenly the wind shifts directions and it's all over.

With me I will start this season on Oct. 15th and will hunt through Jan. 4th. I have taken off the opening weeks of bow, black powder, and gun and will spend a lot of afternoons hunting after work. I would love nothing better than to fill my freezer with doe and then just go out after that MONSTER BUCK, but heck we get three buck a year, so if the freezer isn't full I might take a younger buck to boot, we can take over 100 doe.

To be honest though, even without a kill, a day in the woods is better than any day at work!

I enjoy hunting the entire season Sept 7th to Feb 15th with extended permit. Filling a tag is just part of the larger event - hunting. I love jumping out of bed 3:15 in the morning when it is that dark blue-black in the sky and driving 45min out to my hunting land. Nothing beats the cool crisp air, crunching leaves and the cold steel of my tree-steps. For me, the best part is when about 15-20min after settling into my stand and &quot;nature forgets that I'm there&quot;. There are few people other than hunters who actually experience this. Most people travel through the woods, we become part of the woods. I've had squirrels 1ft from my face looking at me trying to figure out what I was peering out from behind my camo facemask <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>. The deer is another bonus of the activity <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

I started bow hunting does in July. Our season opened Sept 15th and ends January 31st. I'll hunt to the end. I whack a few does, a few bucks and usually after the first one try to make certain that each buck is bigger than the last. I don't hunt as hard and am usually a little more selective on which days and in what weather I hunt as the season progresses.... but no matter what... I'll be in a tree Jan 31st. I always save one buck tag.

Sometimes it takes me all season to fill my tags most of the time I tag out early. That is ok because I switch to hunting something else.

Some things are true whether you believe them or not.

I hunt from October 1 - February 28th!!! Great hunting seasons in Arkansas.

Hunt the thickets

We only get 2 deer in our area (only 1 can be a buck). A lot of guys I know will pass up shots early in the season so that they can keep hunting more later into the year. Personally, if I find a deer I'm after I'll take it the first chance I get and then switch to hunting something else during the rest of the year. I wouldn't mind tagging out early because I've already been &quot;hunting&quot; for several months now; spending time in the woods scouting, creating blinds, observing patterns, etc. To me hunting season has been in for several months...it's just not legal to shoot anything until Oct. 5th.

My hunting never ends. Every day Iam scouting in preparation for the season. My hunting starts with scouting, scouting and more scouting. I continue my scouting all year long. Some of my best hunting is done scouting without my bow. Even though Iam not actually shooting anything I still consider this hunting. Iam either hunting for deer sign, trails, tracks, droppings, rubs, scrapes, scrape lines, food plots, bedding areas, sheds and so on, the hunting never stops here. I go to sleep thinking about being in the woods hunting, and I dream hunting, and then wake up thinking about hunting and preparing for the season. My wife at first thought I was crazy, untill I bought her a bow, and now shes enjoying hunting as much as me. BEST OF LUCK or SKILL -THIS SEASON and GOD BLESS

I hear ya Belle Island...Late Feb is an awesome time to be hunting here in AR. I had a streak of three years in a row where I killed a deer Feb 28th.
