Going to change it up this year.

[First-light]

My schedule just has gotten so busy especially after my daughter decided to play for the A team in soccer. Two games every weekend in the fall excluding Columbus day weekend. Season ends in December. So I sat down with my brother and we talked about a game plan. We came to the decision to go up Columbus day weekend to bow hunt. The next hunt will be Tuesday-Friday right up to gun opener. Stay and hunt gun first three days. In the end it will save us some money in traveling and food. We usually are up every other weekend for bow season. It's a 6 hr trip so it does add up. I love to late season hunt with muzzleloader so that will be there also. Of course the L.I. season runs so long we will take advantage of that. The only thing that bothers me is that I love the fall so much in the Finger lakes, I'll just get a little taste this year:(

Good luck!  Work is demanding I take some time off so I will try to help the east end farmers by culling some doe and hopefully stop the sharp shooters.

Well you'll be a hunter and Father for life,the balance shifts as the years go by.

I'm at the point I can hunt most days, but when the kids were young and my wife worked m-f I watched them during my off time m-f,,then when she was home week ends ,well I work half the week ends......

Those days you do get out will be sweat,enjoy.
