anybody else ready for your states bow opener?
 

man im already excited to start planting food plots, and get back to bowhunting. anybody else already pumped????

RE: anybody else ready for your states bow opener?
 

If you'd asked me that any other time in the previous 10 years, I would have undoubtedly answered rather quickly in the affirmative... This year is different, though; I hunted SO hard and SO much that I'm just NOW recovering a bit from burnout.

I'll probably concentrate my efforts a bit more this coming year and hunt a bit smarter, and then December will give way to predator trapping for me this year so I don't think I'll have to worry about that as much this coming season.

how was your season this year??
im just excited to hunt september and october when im not freezing my ass off:D

RE: anybody else ready for your states bow opener?
 

No, I was ready for a break. I'm starting the shed hunting this weekend, after that its mushroom hunting, turkey hunting, maybe a little fishing. I'll start getting the bug again around July to start glassing for some bucks.

RE: anybody else ready for your states bow opener?
 

Yes, I sit in a dark room all day, shaking uncontrollably waiting for September.

RE: anybody else ready for your states bow opener?
 

I have been doing a bunch of shed hunting/scouting. Getting some ideas for new stand locations and moving some stand locations. I am always excited to get my plots in, I enjoy doing that. I will try to have all the stands in and early plots completed by the end of May (I hate hanging stands when it is hot). I will spend a bunch of time during the summer glassing fields while drinking a cold beer, but very little walking. Around the first of Sept I will get my late plots in and then sit back and wait for the middle of Oct to roll around.

im excited for deer a little more than turkey at the moment and i dont know why though............

RE: anybody else ready for your states bow opener?
 

Depends on what perspective you're looking at it from... I put eight does down this year, and the freezer's packed... gave one to my parents and another to our best friends, so it was good from a meat perspective -- but I didn't see a buck I felt like dumping the string on. Tough season, and that added to the way I felt at the end of the year.

RE: anybody else ready for your states bow opener?
 

hey man at least you got 8 does!!!

RE: anybody else ready for your states bow opener?

RE: anybody else ready for your states bow opener?
 

Is a frog's ass hole water tight??!!!!

RE: anybody else ready for your states bow opener?
 

No, not really. I am looking foward to turkey season. And i just got hooked on 3d shooting so im really looking foward to going to a bunch a those this summer.

RE: anybody else ready for your states bow opener?
 

o man you have no idea i cant wait for this fall to roll around....me and my roommate talk about this almost every day...but all we can do now is throw a little corn out the back door and wack te squirrels that come eat them :D

what dave said

RE: anybody else ready for your states bow opener?
 

It's been on my mind no doubt! Bear hunting will be the 1st hunting I do this year If I get drawn (September 1st the season opens).

RE: anybody else ready for your states bow opener?
 

i wish we had bear or pigs around here............

RE: anybody else ready for your states bow opener?
 

My season for hunting with my bow closed yesterday. I'm looking forward to attending a bunch of traditional shoots and events over the summer! But before that happens I'll chase some turkeys around for a couple of weeks. I'll also get out to call some coyotes a few more times while their coats are prime!

RE: anybody else ready for your states bow opener?
 

Oh Yeah, I pretty fired up for deer hunting to start back up!

RE: anybody else ready for your states bow opener?
 

are you serious,it ended yesterday????? when did it begin?

RE: anybody else ready for your states bow opener?
 

Not yet, need to change some stands around, put up a double ladder.Hell I still haven't took my blind out
out of the woods yet:eek:

RE: anybody else ready for your states bow opener?
 

Seven months till season opens again. I got better things to do than worry about it. I have several other hobbies to pursue. Then there is 3D during the spring and summer. I even shoot 3D right now. Inside and out. I bowhunt maybe a dozen days a year or a little more. I ain't letting life pass me by worrying about those couple days. My life does not wrap around a broadhead tipped arrow. Although I've cut down on my shooting these days I still shoot maybe 5000 shots a year--- a half dozen of them with blades up front.

RE: anybody else ready for your states bow opener?
 

I'm syked but I can definitly wait cause thats my whole summer I would be wishing away and there is no way in God's green earth that I want that to happen.

RE: anybody else ready for your states bow opener?
 

true dat

RE: anybody else ready for your states bow opener?
 

I am ready for some spring bass fishing and deer scouting. I am looking forward to taking my daughter out on the canoe for the first time. But to answer your question, YES I am pumped for the upcoming season!

RE: anybody else ready for your states bow opener?
 

I am more ready for May than Oct. I took a job that I will start after graduation in may on a 30,000 acre ranch. The ranch runs along the wa****a river in CW SW oklahoma. There are 3 irrigated circles of alfalfa and than about 7500 acres of other cropland on one side of the ranch. I went out and talked with the owner a few weeks ago and took a look at the ranch. From what I saw I am gonna need to work my butt off starting in may to even get a grasp on the deer movement across the whole ranch. But I guess you could say that I am ready for next season but realize that there is a ton of preparation needed beforehand.

RE: anybody else ready for your states bow opener?
 

My state's bow season doesn't open for seven months, I'm not getting worked up that far ahead.

RE: anybody else ready for your states bow opener?
 

I'm looking forward to this fall because I'll be in Illinois for a week with my bow at the end of October! So yeah, I'm ready for that.

On the other hand, like Greg said...I hunted very hard this year. For the last 2 weeks of the season I was at it twice a day. It wore me down. I've enjoyed spending some time out of the woods to make up for all the time I spent in the woods.

Now come this weekend...when it's 75-80 degrees...I'll have turkey fever!

RE: anybody else ready for your states bow opener?
 

YES!!!

I'm always ready for any Bowhunt. It doesn't matter if I've hunted 60 days in a row or I haven't hunted in 60 days. I Love it!

Right now I'm anxious to head to KS and try to Thump a couple of Gobblers.:D
