I'll get out there during the weekend , 6th and 7th. Been practicing with the bow all summer. I have a friend of mine going out with me so i hope we at least see something.

Been ready, checked all my hang-on stands by early September, hung two more over the past couple weeks. Got one left to hang at my cabin in PA on Friday.

Truckbed is loaded with the climbing stand and two rubbermade bins full of my hunting gear which has been organized and scent-controlled, it will stay this way until February.

Been shooting the bow again consistently since mid-August, today I cut the same hole 3 times in a row with the same arrow...I'll be nocking that one on Saturday Morning at the cabin in the Poconos.

Monday morning the wife is giving me the day off from Daddy-daycare...other than that I will be trying to get out 3 to 4 times a week (4hr intervals tops) during the weekdays all season (probably more mornings than evenings, but again it depends on the wife).

I will be in PA every weekend from this weekend through October. So i get an early crack with the inline muzzleloader in the middle of October. I'll hunt opening day plus a couple of Rifle there as well, and finally do some late season bow right after Christmas. These are my only full-day hunting opportunities this year.

Then I finally can't wait to harvest up to 2 doe a day in the Tompkins DMFA in JANUARY 2013...Finally Late Season in NY!

Finished all my chores for the fall today, home improvement season resumes in February.

All stands are hung, clothes are washed and smoked, bow is all set. And most importantly, had the annual talk with the g/f about how I will be non-existant for the next couple of months. Good thing she is understanding!!

No where close to being ready!! Then again, I never am so this is nothing new, lol. Shooting well out to 40 anything inside of that will be dead, or at least should be haha. Still have a couple stands to change and, I still don't know where I'm going to put my pop-up blind, clothes need to be washed, butchering area needs to be preped lots to do in a lil time. Taking monday off for the opener going to hunt as much as I can this year. Hopefully, I can fill either the freezer or the wall this monday. I got a big SOB running around hopefully I'll connect.

Goodluck and straight shooting,

CNY
