RE: Texas bowhunters are you ready? Let the countdown begin.
I was wondering when you were going to chime in bootlegger. When are we going to pick up the new stands? I' m thinking Thursday or Friday. Why don' t you bring your buddy along and we' ll have lunch while were out.

DaveC, I know excactly what you mean. I often feel like I over hunt my good spots in early and mid October when I know that the real buck activity isn' t going to pick up until late October or the first week of November. I think I shoot myself in the foot doing that. Also sometimes I will hunt so much (as see so little) in early October that by the time the rut really picks up, I' m getting tired of getting up early and hunting the same old places. Know what I mean?lol
Oh well this year I' m going hunting a few times up in NW Oklahoma on the Kansas border, so I' ve that pumping me up!

Txcowboy, Same story different tree!!
Last year I passed up a new bows worth of overtime$$ in the early season just to get blown on by one single doe on a hot foggy mosquito bitten morining. I was ticked, not this year. Any OT comes my way early- I' m taking it!!
