Anyone else getting antsy?

Muzzle loader deer starts September 10. I have a couple days scouting in so far. We went fishing and camping last weekend in a unit I can hunt, which also resulted in seeing some bucks. Nothing mature, but fun, nonetheless.

Also saw some quail in that area, so may try that this fall as well, along with chukar and huns.

My daughter will participate in the youth bird hunt end of September.

Then lions and bobcats through the winter.

I’ve been too busy to get too excited. Usually by the time hunting season gets here it is often more of a relief than excitement. By the time I get unwound enough to be excited it’s over. Don’t get me wrong, I look forward to it and try to plan well, but life just seems to get in the way of the excitement anymore.

Wyoming deer in a little over 2 months.

Local deer hunting at the beginning of November… thankfully it’s a long season

I see you’re eastern TN. Will you hunt the early velvet hunt?

Leave in 64 days for my SD antelope hunt. I'm sure I'll do some dove hunting the first week of September here at home as well.

Most excited by far and away for my Oklahoma elk hunt. Been a dream of mine for over half my life to kill a elk in my home state. One of my long term hunting goals I came up with after reading chuck Adam's super slam in high-school was to kill the Oklahoma big 5 (whitetail, mule deer, pronghorn, elk, black bear). If I'm successful I'll only have black bear left.



Besides the elk my other main goal is to get my son a nice buck this year.



Can't think of anything new as far as hunting or camping gear this year. Of course still time to remedy that.

I’m excited for the elk hunt.

Wife and I will be kicking off hunting season in 2 weekends with a limit of squirrels.

Sept 1 - Blue Grouse

Then the youth hunt with my boy in mid-Oct for mountain whitetail.

I’m always jacked for November, and will once again probably have more days off for 5 weeks than work. That’s a goal I’ve achieved for the last 5 years or so.

I might be just as excited for December trapping as anything this year. Got new traps to try, new sets, new spots.

I’m foaming at the mouth for trapping season. Trust me, I get it!

Can't wait to hit the dove fields and grouse woods in September. Then some local deer and elk.

Just talked to the biologist for my elk area. That added fuel to my fall fever. It is somewhere between raging house inferno and medium sized forest fire right now.
