Who else is getting ready for hunting season? [View All]

[Squatch]

I'm all stocked up on #4 steel 12 gauge and 180gr 300 Win Mag. I just ordered a bunch of new 125 grain Thunderhead broadheads for my Mathews bow.

I still need to replace my climbing stand (I have an API Grand Slam that I hate...waaaaay too noisy) and I want to pick up a jon boat...I'm so through with wading for ducks.

I'm taking a week of leave for the bow season opening, and to prepare for that, I'm taking my hunting buddy out this weekend for some intensive bow practice.

I've been scoping out my hunting locations (mostly on military installations) and the deer look VERY healthy. I've seen about one male to about every 2 or 3 does, so the herd itself is very healthy as well. The deer are nicely filled out and muscular looking, so their diet is probably very good.

I get six deer on my tag, so this year I'm looking to fill my freezer. I can't wait for the first morning in my stand, swaying gently in the breeze, nodding off once and a while, not moving a muscle for hours, listening to the sounds of the forest...
