Anyone else getting the itch for archery season yet?

[Comanche]

Ive got my crossbows dialed in already with all the sticks and blades I’ll need for the season .

Prepped some new ladder spots already including removing some downed trees that blocked several main deer crossings.
Created some natural funnels with the deadfall.

Catching batchelor groups on camera already as well as several spotted fawn with mama sightings , also been seeing bigger herds coming around lately.

Yellow jackets have been insane the past couple weeks and I got lit up three times now in different spots.
I finally have an ATV with a trailer to help with my more daunting drags up the hill…..will be a big game changer.

Looking forward to getting in the woods with weapons again but definitely not missing the mosquitos, ticks and chiggers.
Hopefully we get some cooler weather come archery season.

Dove hunting sounds much more enjoyable than bow hunting in September

I bow hunted a ton in highschool (crossbow). Like Glorfindel said though as I’ve gotten older I’ve grown to not care much to sit out in that heat with the skeeters unless I’m slinging lead at birds all day. (A thermacell can be a lifesaver and I personally don’t think the smell bothers deer or hog at all) the past season we had a few cool spells in September and the deer dropped like flies. In the south/central Ga area with the sporadic weather they can start showing signs of rut as early as the beginning of October. We did close to 1,600 deer last season and I don’t see things slowing down this season.

Thinking about trying my hand with a recurve this year. Love my old DXT, but want to try something new

Already had my PSA tuned and ready to go. It is just to hot for me to get started but I am anxious to shoot. I love extra time in the woods but do not enjoy sweating in the stand.

Don’t have any private party so going to hit the WMA’s this year. I’m going to buy another compound bow as well so it will be a fun year! I want to give the crossbow a year off lol

I bow hunted much in years gone by but will admit that I don’t enjoy the bugs and sweating on the stand anymore. Probably will just keep camera and food plot in good shape for start of muzzle loader

 

[Comanche]

Yeah the bugs suck but so does getting an arrow through the heart…..lol.
I’ll suffer a little if it means putting bambi’s in the freezer.

I'm getting alil fired up about it. Finally got out and hung a couple cameras, so we shall see

I'm ready! End of deer season wasn't good to me last year and could defiantly use the meat...plus, being in the woods is my happy place and who doesn't need to recharge the mind.
