Sept 11th first day of Bow Season in NC, Im in the stand in less then 5 hours, at 5am, Ill be there, 6:30 am sun rises, that'll give any deer enough time to settle down from me romping through the woods.

You better get to bed then, or you'll find yourself laying at the bottom of your stand at 6:31.

I can't Im too excited !!!!!!!!
Ahem trip to WalMart for last minute hunting Gadgets

I confess I was up 1/2 the nite last friday as our opener was last weekend. The shortest day of the year is closing day, and the longest no doubt is the opening day eve.

Good luck and great shooting Hoopy.

Hey what do you know. It's hunting season today here in NC. Man I was on top of that one.

Hoopy,

I hope you were able to get up this morning! I too was excited, stayed up late and missed the first crack of dawn.[:@] Oh well, I plan on hitting the stand after lunch. I don't live too far from you here in Albemarle, NC. I hunt some in Locust, Albemarle, and the game lands occasionally in Montgomery Co. Good luck and post a pic of your success if you get one!
