This will be the third PA archery season I've missed in a row and potentially the first year I don't take my bow out at all. Going to college in NH prevents me from hunting PA's archery season and this year has been so busy I don't even know if I'll have time to get out and hunt in NH. I just haven't been able to put any time in with my bow to make sure I'm confident, let alone the time to actually hunt.

It's tough (I hunted about 4-5 days total for those 4 years from 2003-2006), but it's worth it. I have a great job, and now I'm back out hunting regularly again. Just keep thinking of it as a temporary inconvenience for permanent improvement.

Unfortunately, NO I won't. I'm coaching inline hockey and we kick off this weekend. 4 games starting at 9am and the rink is an 45 minutes away. After that it's on to my Daughter's Cheerleading. Family first. The one I'm after will still be there in a few weeks. Just need to be patient. But I will miss not being out there.

i will be hunting 4E on the first day, some nice bucks ripping around, however, i always try to take a doe early...but if a buck gives me a shot and i am comfortable, i may be posting success bucks sooner than the rut
rain or shine, i will be there

Chris I forgot to wish you and the MRS.a Happy Anniversary on the other thread and PM.
So.... HAPPY ANNIVERSARY
Rob, You know I'll be out. I'm not hunting around you so it probably won't rain.
