Default hope it cools back down

here i am...1615 and its during a special early doe season and im not on stand....

just really dont feel like sweatin my arse off and risking wasting a deer. even with the low of 60 something...still a race against time...tomarrow is more of the same. highly doubt i head out tomarrow either.

probably hit it up one last time Friday evening next week IF it cools down....Saturday starts our REAL bow season...im pumped. hopefully it cools down though

i dont know how you southern boys do it....between the heat, bugs and nasty woods, i dont know how yall do it...85 is probably down right chilly for some of you guys....not me....i aint even venturing out! lol.

heading to the bow shop...local guy that has a tiny shop in his basement....hopefully he can refletch some arrows fer me i cant help i shot them off with broadheads....just havent had the time as of yet....and thats 5 or 6 more arrows i could be shootin...i got a couple that the inserts need realigned on and wobble bad...so those 5 are in need now...hopefully he can take care of that and tie me on a new loop in the same place as my current one. i muffed up the melting of the ends and nicked the loop...last piece of material i had lol....hope he aint busy

I will tell you what, it was 64 degreeson my way to work and I was chilly(not to bad)

If it is under 80 degrees at 6:30 AM on opening morning then it is going to be a nice day. We do put up with a lot more heat than you northern boys, but I still don't know how ya'll sit outside when it is 10 below zero. We are crazy for the heat, ya'll are crazy for the cold.

I've hunted early Oct in the low 90's. It's my opinion your wasting days afield. Just like hunting in the rain you just have to be very selective on your shots which one should be anyway right?

lol...i will take 10 degrees over 85 any day.

Rob...your 100% correct...it WAS a wasted day...i COULD have been out there...SHOULD have probably been sittin on the creek crossing....but, before the post, i was still trying to broadhead tune the bow...i got them shooting where i want but cant bring the fieldpoints back where they should be...tried it all..started from scratch 3x now..somethins astray and i cant figure it out...driving me nuts. my broadheads fly like darts and im happy with the flight...but its always nice to have them hit with the fieldpoints. not this year i guess...

and im going into work in the morning...knew that ahead of time...which was another factor..if i DID hit one, and had a long night ahead of me, id be forced to let the crew down by not going in or by going in and not being 110% there..see what time i get off tomarrow...the creek crossing will be the place to be...or the oak point above the creek crossing...or closer to the thicket hmmmmm lol..but im hard to hold down when i have time...even if its only 2 hours i might venture out tomarrow....cant kill em from the couch eh?? you sure???
