Who is gettin' antsy?

Who is gettin' the hankerin' to sling lead or fling arrows? MAN, I caught myself sayin' "It is almost deer season..." but it is still 3 months+ away. Almost to me is the down hill side of a year:o... My first priority is to acquire a new smallish freezer. It is gonna be right in the dining room for easy access to mrs.hogdogs. Since I made her try some venison chili and venison stew, she has conceded that bambi tastes just fine.

I hope to make up a slew of 50-50, 60-40 and 80-20 venison to wild hog. Will also try my hand at breakfast sausage seasoning too.
This upcoming year MUST see a greatly reduced meat bill!

Brent, season here is only a month and a half away (mid Sept for archery). If I could find a place to hunt just a few miles south, I'd be able to start even earlier (south zone).

Yes, I'm getting very excited.
 
I sure am. I've got a hunting trip set with a couple of buddies in just a week and even so, I'm still feeling antsy. Still got a while before deer season opens, but bear opens up in August so that should tide me over for a bit. :D
 
I am not sure if it is frost free... The basic stuff from homer depot or lowes. I am going to wrap the shell and lid with insulation to increase the efficiency.

I'm getting the old shoulder in shape for slinging arrows already. It dawned on me today that Saturday is the first of August and dove season is right around the corner with bow season following a week later.

Looking forward to it :D.
 
Two weeks till gator season.........it ends on Nov. 1 and the next day me and Louann fly off to SD to chase pheasants for a week. And then a week after we get back our general season starts here.......

It's a tough life but someone has to live it............................
 
I'm past Antsy!

:p Only 7 more weeks to Bowhunting season starts for me. Can't wait to try to stick one with my new Mathews Reezin bow and Axis arrow (Rage broadhead).

Then Muzzleloader season after that and then on to regular gun season, etc. If they had rock season, I would be chucking them at the whitetails too. I just love Deer Hunting season and can't wait for it to come. Seems a bit longer coming this time (for some reason) than ususal. :)
 
I should be, but I'm not.

I haven't hunted big game much since my dad died two years ago, so I have a lot of things to get ready before my mule deer hunt starts on Nov 6th.

I'll also go after a bear in early October as sort of a warm up.

But lots of stuff to do before then to keep my busy.

I kinda got rid of the big game itch last month- My son and I took a couple of nice meat pigs. BUT...Dove opener, the traditional start of fall hunting season is 4 weeks away- Followed by Chukar and Quail. a month later..
 
Me too

Moose season starts August 20th and my friend & I drew the Homer cow permit so there is a very strong chance that we wont be buying beef for over a year. Same as Hogdogs though, I'm freezer shopping because the one I have isn't nearly big enough and is already half full of our years worth of Sockeye. Fishing is done, time for the real fun/work to start. I've got the rifle all dialed in and the ammo loaded up, now I need to finish my research (never hunted the area) and get my gear together. Can't wait... I'm working nights the day brfore the season opens but then I go on my week off, hell with sleep I'm goin' huntin'!
 
It's killing me. I'm trying to figure out how to afford it this year. My son even provided some Fusion cartridges for my b'day.

Mom died the first of the year, attny's fees, etc. are sucking up money like no tomorrow. I really need some sanity time just sitting in the woods. Times are tough.
 
cant wait

Just got done putting new sights on my bow after mention of this thread. Been working up a load for months out of the 30-06's for deer. And trying to match up good ammo to the 22 for small game. september 1st cant come soon enough. ;)
