Who's Ready ?

[Salmon_Run]

How many of us out there are thinking, big woods, solitude, snow cover and temps in the teens ?

I personally can't wait for this weather to change and get ready for deer season....

[grampy]

In the 90's here over the coming weekend. Not feeling the hunting urge with temps this high. Will put off hunting until the weather feels more fall like. Don't want to use up spots during low deer activity and the skeeter blitz!

[Grizz1219]

The opener looks to be in the 60's for a high.... Saying NNW winds.... I've been all set for 5 weeks now. .stands, ground blinds.... all set. .shooting lanes cut... Cameras have been out since June... Chomping at the bit to get out on the 1st!!!

[rachunter]

i'm heading up Tuesday for the early bow it's the only time me and my brother can get it together.i'm not expecting much just a good time with my bro. after that it's muzzleloader for fiver days.then little trips until the rut.

[Swamp_bucks]

Ready cant get here fast enough. Clothes going to get hung out tomorrow.

[Buckmaster7600]

Count me in! I did a little balloon shooting tonight with my 2 main rifles 35rem and 35whelen pumps getting ready for our annual tire shoot tomorrow. This year it might turn into a pool party with the temps.

I want to say I'm ready but hard to with temps like this 

[DirtTime]

I'm ready. The camp might not work out for the NZ. But...... I have alternatives!

Weather for close to home looks promising temps will drop out form those 80's/90's to mid 60's. for opening day. Humidity level will drop. The heat we have going on is the long distance effects of Hurricane Jose. He will be out of the picture starting Tuesday night. Humidity here has already started dropping.

[Adkhunter1590]

I'll be ready after stand work tomorrow. Going to wash my camo and hang that out to dry. Other than still needing to pick up my license. I'm ready

There will be no vertical bow hunting for me again this year, but I am almost ready for my first day of crossbow hunting up in the Northern zone a few weeks from today .  I just need to mend the serving a little bit on my string and lube the rail after three practice shots with it yesterday.  It was hitting right where I wanted it at 20, 35, and 45 yards.  After a day up there with that, my ML is all set for the next day and a half, of a long weekend up at my in-laws place in the Adirondacks.  I should be ready for any weather conditions, with a new pop-up blind I just bought and the tree umbrella that I picked up last year.

We should still have a little more than one deer left in the freezer, by the time of that trip, including plenty of grind, so a buck would need to be at least a solid 2.5 year old for me to use a tag on that trip.  I would be very thankful to fill my antlerless tag again, with a 1-1/2 year old doe, like I was able to do last year.  I had planned on staying up there thru the opening weekend of gun season last year.  The weather got so bad, that I came home early with my ML doe, and never even took my rifle out of the case.

I will not hunt deer at home in the Southern zone this year until crossbow opens, so I still have plenty of time to get things ready here.  Hopefully I can trim up some shooting lanes around all of my stands at home this weekend, and over at my folks place next weekend. The food plots are all looking very good. I am going to be a bit more selective with my buck tag up north, because the neighbors have seen a few nice ones running around at home that would be nice to tag.  All I have seen at our place is does though, but they should be my "ace in the hole" when crossbow season opens at the peak of the rut.  I did see a nice 2-1/2 year buck over at my folks place a few weeks ago that I would love to get a tag on.

Damn, a couple of my "aces" just stepped out of a sanctuary area, into a WW/clover plot, and eyeballed me for a while as I was trimming a shooting lane from one of my blinds.  Hopefully, they have short memories.  It looked like an old doe and a 1-1/2, probably her last year's fawn.

I'm ready are early bow starts on the 27th but the weather that day is calling for around 80 so I will prably wait till Thursday when the high is supposed to drop down in the mid 60s.

I'm a bit behind this year but will catch up fast and be ready by second weekend of bow.

Nolt's  in Lowville has a nice big cooler that they can get them into pretty fast if need be.  The temperature was up in the eighties during early ML last year and I ran one over there.  They did a great job of cutting it up, for a great price compared to the highway robbers down here in the southern zone.

[sailinghudson25]

Im ready,

Bow is shooting so-so, so i'm limiting myself to 20 yards this year.

Bringing traps with me this year, something a bit new.   Just finished up cutting fish pieces for mink trap bait.

other than that.........

 

Does before Hoes!

I need to find a way to pass this EIT test. I've been out of school for 9 years so i am taking a review class. Once class is over and I pass it I'll be in the woods !

I'm all screwed up. I'm covering the pool in 90 degree weather talking to my brother on who is coming opening day.

[Core]

I'm not ready.

1) No hunting license (rectifying tonight)
2) Haven't re-zeroed my ever-shifting peep with my hunting arrows (will this week)
3) Haven't cleaned my hunting gear, let dry, then Sawyered it (will this week)

My shooting volume is massively lower than last year. However, what shooting I have done shows me back up to nearly top-form in just a few sessions. I'm grouping well and the bow is pulling back well.

I've done zero scouting and hung no cameras, but this year I have access to what I believe is a spectacular property, and my friend who lives there already has identified the good spots (plus he doesn't bow-hunt!). There are some ladder stands all setup, but the drive is a monster (over an hour each way).
