First-light Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 It happens every year like clockwork. It can vary from year to year but it always shows up on my doorstep around late August! Slowly but surely the anticipation of that first crisp fall day is stirring in my sole. A slight change in the color of trees around me and the smell of the fall woods brings me back over and over again to a time of the year I long for. Deer hunting is a big part of that and thoughts of time spent in the stand and in the cabin with family and friends brings a feeling of ease to the hectic life I lead. I absolutely love this time of year, people say why?The world around you shutting down and getting cold? Au Contraire, it's just the beginning and heating up! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Yeah, I have noticed those changes. It's starting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNYBuckHunter Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Yep, been noticing it lately as well. Im getting fired up and have been spending more time outside and prepping my gear. Stands are going to start going up in the next few weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawdwaz Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Two nights ago a couple friends did a little dusk look around at one of the places I hunt and glassed 12 (twelve) bucks together. Then 10 minutes later glassed 5 different bucks hanging together in another field. Not too shabby. Makes a guy want to run out an order another trail cam. (I did!) Last night I did a little woodchuck hunt down in Wyoming County and on the way home saw lots of deer out feeding in the hay/clover fields at dusk. I'm getting itchy................................

landtracdeerhunter Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Want to talk about getting itchy, we just took the better part of today trimming and tweeking stands. While up in one, a big tom walked across a field of view. It wasn't a deer, but sure was the next best thing. Nothing like sitting in the stands, checking shooting lanes, and getting a feel for whats to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweet old bill Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 put up two ground blinds and yesterday when I shoot my 3D course I shot target 4 and as I walked up saw a movement in a pine tree. I stopped and what walked out was a fawn and as I went to get my arrs from the target, there come mom to make sure her fawn was ok...I see some of the trees are already starting to show the first stage of fall.
