Wow, where did the time go? Southern Zone bow season comes to an end Friday and the 2011 SZ regular season starts Saturday! We wanted to get this announcement out earlier in the week but things have been a bit crazy. Hopefully this catches you before you head out to your camp / hunting grounds. We hope everyone has a safe and fun opening weekend, if you can please keep us updated on how your hunting season is going in one of the many threads on the forums. If you have a smart phone, check out the "live from stand" thread http://huntingny.com/forums/topic/5958-live-from-the-stand-2011/ Check out a few of the beautiful deer already taken in the 2011 Harvest Thread as well, congrats to all!

Check out the Countdown to Saturday post, seems like everyone is ready to go, counting the final hours of this week till opening day of the regular season.
