Ok, NOW I'm looking forward to it. Basically when August hits, it starts to get exciting, when we're only 1 month from dove season and 2 months from bow season (deer & turkey). Several things have lined up to get me a little stirred up:
-First and foremost, I lucked out on the lottery draw for a controlled hunt at McAlester AAP, which I'll post about separately (if you are from Okla, you know what this is)
-As a result of THAT, I'm presently searching for a recurve to buy for that hunt
-My compound bow is presently at the pro shop getting re-strung, cabled, and new fletching put on 6 of my arrows.
-I've gotten over my trepidation about hunting with excess meat in the freezer by simply making the mental decision that I will simply contribute any deer to Hunters for the Hungry until I start getting low on meat. Luckily, almost all processors in the state are participators in the H.F.T.H. program, so it's easy to drop the deer off and pay the processing fee to help out the needy. Turkeys I'm keepin!
It's time to buy some new straw bales and start to practicing my archery by mid-August.
