Im ready! I cant wait. This was a perfect weekend for hunting, so I had a hard time not hunting. I did some scouting and found some nice late season hunting spots(lots of oaks.) I cant wait!!!
Definitely ready to rock and roll. The first time in 6 seasons I'll have a brand new bow in hand for daylight to break on the first day. Comfortable with the bow, broadheads tuned, stands set and heart already racing at the thought of that P&Y buck feeding under the white oak tree 20 yards from my honey hole stand.
PA.Bucks,
I know exactly what you mean about the heat last year. It was nice in the morning, but by afternoon, I was cooking in the stand. Shot a big doe at last light on the first day last year, and by the time I got her back to the house, I was completely soaked w/ sweat. This end of the summer cool trend has me expecting some cool weather by the end of the month, but the temp. this past weekend and today has me wondering
Safe hunting and good luck to everyone! Come on September 30...
Like a kid waiting for Christmas to arrive. Going to try something new this year, hunting from a ground blind in some areas. Picked up a Double Bull Matrix blind and have been practicing quite a bit with it. Really nice blind and easy to shoot from. Doe tags for 2D finally came in the mail on Saturday and all my equipment is ready to go. Just can't wait for the 30th to get here.
i will be at a golf outting on saturday, but am ready for the following week....you'll be able to find me in either washington, fayette, westmoreland or somerset.... mostly wash and fayette....
I haven't scouted like I planned (multire camera not doing so good). I have been shooting but thinking about swithcing from mech to fixed. Better make a decision?????

After seeing all the great looking bucks I had to go check my trail cameras. One isn't working but the other one had 18 pictures so that's a good sign. Of course I'm still in the dark ages and have to get the film developed. Maybe I can talk the wife into a new one.
i'm ready, i've got an 8 point and 10 point pinned down from bedding area to feeding area. Hopefully i can arrow one this year since i missed a 10 last year.
I am so ready, I almost can't stand it. I've been shooting regularly since January. I switched to G5 Strikers for this year, and they are shooting on the spot at 20, 30 and 40 yards. I have two Lone Wolfs hung. And, my wife got me a laser range finder for my birthday. Archery season is my absolute favorite time of year. Last year, I shot a nice 8-point at 15 minutes after sunrise on the first day. Then had the biggest deer I've ever had in bow range walk 5 yards past my stand while hunting does during the rut. I didn't mind, I was still happy with my 8-pointer, and was just glad I got to see such a huge buck up close.
Ready here too. Will be hunting out of a DB Matrix some this year. I got tired of seeing good hunting spots but having no trees around to hunt out of. There is a drop-tine buck this year also where I hunt. He is a main frame 10 or 11 plus the drop. Also several really good 8 and 10 pointers as well. I know a few will go P&Y. From what I've heard, guys are seeing more larger bucks this year than in the past.
i wish i could trade the two first weeks for two more weeks in november does anyone else feel this way?just my opinion feels more like hunting when its colder and closer to the holidays
