Gonna be a bad bow season
 

I went to the lease this moring and here in Florida, the rains have been non stop. My lease was flooded. I had to wear chest waders to reach the camp. The mosquitto's were horrible and about to get worse. With an opener in a couple of weeks, it will be all i can do to go. With deep water restricting access to much of the property and horrible bugs, I'm not sure what i'll do. For those who don't live in Florida, consider yourself lucky in this regard.

Dang Teal, sorry to hear about that.

Come on up here to Washington in November, worst you'll have to worry about is a foot or so of snow.

Sry to hear that, but you better hope for a drought and no more hurricanes for a while. It may dry up by opener just have some faith, you just never do know. Atleast if most of the property is flooded, you will know that the deer will be in the little bit of highland that there is.

Sorry to hear that. Thermacell would take care of the skeeters, but only time and a dry spell will take care of the flooding.

Hope it dries up soon for you.

No problem I'd be more than happy to help out a fellow hunter in need besides I think it would be a great idea to meet everybody here and what better way to that.

Yeah, i was on the radar and looked and it was storming like crazy in Fl!!! Sorry to hear that hopefully some dryness with come to your area!

RE: Gonna be a bad bow season
 

Water goes away quick in Fla. Just look for high ground and the deer will be there.

I appreciate the comments. Didn't mean to make it sound too bad. Fact is, that's just part of hunting in Florida. It was a little wetter than usual right now. The opener is in two weeks, so it won't dry up enough to make a big difference, but again, that's the way it is here. The thermacell helps, actually it works pretty well, but that's after 10 minutes of warming up while you are in your stand. I can tell you, from the moment i step out of my truck or off my wheeler, they will eat your butt alive. If you can tolerate them long enough to get to your stand, up the tree and the cell to warm you'll be fine, but i can tell you, it's a long 10-15 minutes or more until then.

But hey, Florida is the capital of the monster bucks, so it's worth it, lol.
