September 26th is opening day for archery. I usually dont mess with my deer guns until October or so. I drew a week long tag to hunt a federal nature preserve thats mostly a giant wetland area. I need to find some hip waders and make the hour ride to scout. I also drew a tag to hunt a state park from September 26-Feb3. Its 3hrs away though so I will probably give it away. I got about 12 permission slips signed for anything from deer hunting to rabbit and squirrel only. I have one set of ladder sticks and a millenium treestand receiver in the tree for the last 3yrs or so that should probably be replaced. I forgot a camera thats been out there since October of last year. I will probably sneak out there in a week or so and take it down and put it elsewhere if the batteries arent exploded inside of it. I started shooting my compound bow for the first time in about 2yrs the other night. Not bad at 20yards but my shoulder gets weak after 20 or so shots. I already started making my season list. On a side note, if you guys hunt public or just have issues finding stands download OnX hunt on your smartphone and pay the $20yr fee. I used it last year to mark spots and find stands and it works very well. It even shows you the landowners and boundries.
