Ready For Archery Season To Start

I’m sick of hot weather. Can’t fish, can’t play golf. Guess I’m dreaming of cool breeze in a tree.
Boys I’ve got the bug big time right now. My bow just got tuned and I get it back tomorrow. Ready to start shooting.
I’ll be working nights 6-12s thru the first month of the season, but I plan on getting out on my night off so I can make an evening hunt. I’m just ready to be in the woods. Trying to focus on the season to get my mind off of being stuck working thru what’s normally my favorite time of year.
I plan on using this season as a learning experience, not really focused on getting a kill. With the limited time I have I don’t think that’s realistic. Hopefully the winter won’t skip us and once I’m done with my work schedule I’ll have time to get in the woods with actual cold weather to play with.

I woke this guy up when I was running this morning. I'm freakin' pumped for October.

Exactly why I never make many hunts during the early part of bow season.
I suspect that will again be the case this year unless we see some drastic changed in the weather pattern in the next month and a half.
Someone asked me if I had been doing any deer scouting yet...hell no, not in this heat.

Bow is dialed in and I have been slinging arrows for the last two months, lowered my poundage down to 65lbfrom 70 after making a test draw last year in the mid thirties and really struggling to get it back.
Already have my opening morning and evening spots picked out, pretty much sitting on go and counting down at this point.

I’m READY! Been shooting every week since last season ended. I’ll shoot my broadheads about every other week too. Don’t wait too late to test your broadhead flight - I made that mistake last year. Just need to prep a few climbing trees, but I’ll wait until September (and hopefully cooler weather) for that. I’ll be in a tree opening weekend regardless of the weather though. That’s what Thermocells and breathable clothing are for. I hope everyone has a good bow season.

I definitely had the bug hit me as soon as the calendar rolled to August but until we get some cooler weather, I’ve tempered expectations.
Went and filled my feeders on my property Friday morning early and got the hell out of there.
My brother and I purchased 237 acres in NE MO back in May. I’m looking forward to hunting it but I haven’t had a chance to get back up there and scout around. I have an outage I’ll be running the first few weeks of September then I’ll work remotely until mid January. Plan on spending the last week of October- Thanksgiving in MO, then come home and hunt my property down here the remainder of the year.
I’ve been saying I’m going to shoot my bow the last 3 weeks but it’s just too hot. My bow hunting days in the Deep South are over. All my bow hunts will be in MO and KS from here on out. May make a hunt in Ozona if I have time. Haven’t hunted our place there in a couple seasons. My brothers and nephew have all killed big deer the last 2 seasons down there. Will play it by ear.

It wad 68 degrees when I woke up this morning. Made my neck swell up a bit

I quit bow hunting when I moved to South Texas. We will be in triple digits for at least another month and usually in the low to mid 90's for the beginning of bow season. Way too damn hot.

You aren’t the only one baw. I can’t wait. Dang cell cameras have me about ruined checking every morning and evening just seeing the deer there. Bow is dialed in and only 2.5 weeks until Kentucky bow season. Can’t wait.
Doesn’t help that I saw a really nice buck this morning about 6:45 between Cypress and The Woodlands of 99. Bastard was walking in a field. Made me do a double take.
