Are you ready for October 1st?

When are do you plan to get your first few days in?

Is your Bow ready to go?

[burmjohn]

I'll kick it off....

Are you ready for October 1st?

Hells yea! There is still 2 stands I'd like to move, I was planning on do that this weekend, however I broke my stupid toe. Going to give it another weeks rest and then see if I can get up there there the weekend before. If not I'll have to do it at lunch time that Friday I'm up there.

When are do you plan to get your first few days in?

I'm taking off the 5th and 7th so heading up for a nice 4 day bow hunting weekend to kick off the season.

Is your Bow ready to go?

Tuned and ready to go... I'm dead on @ 20,30, and 40... I just would like to get a few days in shooting my broadheads to make sure we are locked in tight. I'll check over everything this weekend as well (tighten screws, wax string, etc).

[growalot]

Yes

everyday..(Thoughts of scouting with hopes of a shooter)...well a big doe for jerky and sausage

yes...knock on wood...barring any mishaps between now and then

[WNYBuckHunter]

Are you ready for October 1st?

Kinda. Im looking forward to it, but I still have 2 stands to hang and I have to make sure I still can hunt the farm where I used to live. I have a couple of spots ready to go though.

When are do you plan to get your first few days in?

Ill be out on the 1st, then whenever I can after work. Im nbot taking any days off until late October/Early Nov.

Is your Bow ready to go?

Yep, for the most part. I have to just shoot my broadheads to check them.

[Geno C]

im going to take off on monday for the opener, Im on a Doe mission....

dont think i will be out opening weekend. I have not even shot my bow yet, ive been so busy lately its disgusting. doubt i will have any issues, the bow is less then a year old. All my stand locations are ready to go tho. Just cant believe i have not had a chance to shoot yet...years past i always break the bow out way before the season

[NYbuck50]

Hell yes.. broadheads are tuned, trees are picked, lanes are cut.. im taking off oct 1st from work to hit a public land spot in the morning, and going to hit a small private property near home at night.. hope to at least put a fat doe in the freezer.. until then, im going to distract myself with salmon fishing(or at least try to)

[Culvercreek hunt club]

I will be off and hunting the opener. I will hunt the first two weeks after work in the evenings and during the first weekend. The next weekends will be up in the NZ for ML and Rifle openers. then back to SZ for bow weekends until gun opens.

[chiefbkt]

2 1/2 weeks ago I would have said yes. But now, not even close!

[RPIBuckHunter]

Aw hell yes. Going out the afternoon of the 1st after my class...might even sneak up to the NZ weekend of 29-30 to try and fill last year tags...

I shoot year round so my bow is always ready to go.

Are you ready for October 1st?

Yup ready, but I am going Pheasant hunting instead, I have all season to deer hunt.

When are do you plan to get your first few days in?

Not until the 13th/14th will I venture south, I will be out around home some nights starting the 27th of this month. We are heading to Northern Maine for a few days the first weekend for Partridge and Woodcock and I am looking forward to that more than any thing else.

Is your Bow ready to go?

Of course its ready.

[oneidacountyhunter]

I have October 1,2,3,4 off. Gonna hunt the first and second for sure. Might save the other two days for the honey do list. When hunting season rolls around it means it is also time to start winterizing the house, yard, boat.........

My bow is ready. I shoot 4-5 times a week.

Good Luck to all

[NFA-ADK]

I am ready for the 27th, hopefully I can fill last years tag. I will still be in the ADK for opening day.

Sep 27th- oct 2nd

Bow is ready and good out to 65 yards with lots of practice!!! Spare bow is ready just in case I hit the string with a broad head like last year...

Might hit Roscoe on the way home IF I get lucky before Oct 1st... One can only hope!

Hope your toe heals John!!!

I've got all my stands ready to go and i will be taking off on Oct 1st.

As for my bow don't even ask. 2 weeks ago i noticed that the cable on my old bow was starting to Frey. This is the 3rd time this has happend to me in the last 3 years and the bow was about 5 years old so i decided to get a new bow instead of fixing my old one. I bought the pse evo and put my sight and rest on and brought it to my bowshop to have them set the nockheight and install nock points since i shoot off the string with my release. i don't have the time to sight it in being that my work schedule is crazy right now but that shouldn't be a problem since i have Sat and Sunday before the season opens to sight it in and practice from the stand. Then last night i was making sure everything was tight and ready to go with the bow and i went to pull it back and my arrows keep falling off the string when i am at full draw. I will be bringing it back into the bow shop tomorrow after work so he can install a dloop and i will also be purchasing a new release that is easier to use with the loop than the one i currently have.

I was very upset last night when i noticed this happening but i talked to the guy in my bowshop today and he said it wont be a problem and he will get the bow setup for me before next weekend so i will have to do is sight in my 30 and 40 yard pin and i will be good to go. Not what i wanted to happen two weeks before the season started considering i was all ready to go with the old bow and have been shooting all summer.

[stubbz]

been shooting regularly all year, ill be out a couple nights after work for the opener and the first week, wont be out in am till sat mornin but got everything ready to go.

[WhitetailAddict11]

To say I can't wait would be an understatement fellas, I've got a few bucks on the hit list for this year and my properties are in great shape. Good luck to everyone and hunt safe!!

[bubba]

I am ready for 9/27. Four days to use my old tags. I will be out there next Thursday after work until dark. Friday off and hunting the weekend.

[landtracdeerhunter]

Can't put my finger on it yet, but something feels different about the SL 10-1 opener.

Edit: Never will be completely ready but, it's going to be fun, no matter what.

[crappyice]

Gonna head to land Sunday before opening day. Probably camp out Sunday night and hunt all day monday. Only thing I need to figure out still is what to do if I get a deer early Monday morning and my partner wants to stay for the pm hunt. I hope to process my own deer but have no way of preventing spoilage if I can't take car of I immediately.....suggestions welcome!

[fasteddie]

Ready for October 1 . Stands are ready but I need to install a bow hanger at one of them .

Because of the drive , I usually alternate my hunting days or try to hunt close to home on the alternate day .

After shooting for a few weeks , I started shooting from the treestand . Okay at 15 , 25 and 30 yards .

I still have to get my backpack ready and change a couple of broadheads . Other than that , bring it on !

[burmjohn]

~ 6 Days left...

[Jagger]

Got Monday off, broadheads are on point! I'll be hunting behind my house on opening day from early am until about 4pm...then I have to go to kids hockey practice, if it wasn't the first day of hockey I would skip it.

Ha. Ive already told my better half that whatever gets done before deer season gets done, whatever doesnt will wait unless it absolutely cant or will get done in the evenings if possible. We just bought a house, and Ive actually gotten almost everything that needs to be done, done. I just have to do a bit of work to the gutters, fix a little siding and trim a tree back off the roof. That stuff should be done this week. The rest is just unpacking and organizing.

Mind you, Ive only had time to get one stand site "tuned up", but I can work on stands during the early season still.

[defrazzle]

Am going on the 29th - Friday right after I leave my job in Plattsburgh, then 1 hour drive to my camp. Should still be able sit during for the night watch. Have been seeing plenty of deer, but we all know what happens when the season opens.....we'll see.
