Hot days like today make me look forward to fall and sitting in a stand with the leaves changing and a cool breeze blowing waiting for that big buck to come trotting by with his nose on the ground. Don't get me wrong I like a few hot days to fish and swim. But only a few.
 
I'm just ready to sit in a stand.. Even tho that first time will probly be 80+ degrees with sweat rolling down my face... But there's nothing like a cold crisp Nov morning...
 
I'm ready. If I had my wish, the high temperature for Summer would never go above 60 degrees and even that would only last maybe 1 week. I can't wait until November!

I really like deer hunting, but there is more to life. I can wait and not wish my life away.

amen. it will be here all 2 soon. i am still looking forward to the last 3 weeks of spring and then the next 12 weeks of summer to follow.
 
It's not just deer hunting that causes me to hate Summer. It's the heat and bugs and sunburn and snakes and did I mention heat and bugs? I walk out near a mature tree and mosquitoes cover me up. Actually walk into the woods or anywhere outside the lawn and ticks get on me. Every waking moment on the farm is spent with some bug trying to either bite, sting or drink the juice from your eyes. My clothes stick to me like I was soaked in honey from the sweat. My pistol rots on my hips from the constant sweat soaking. Glasses streak up with rivers of sweat. Ugghhhh........ If deer season were to be permanently closed, I'd still long for November all Spring and Summer. :)
 
I have been told many times that all the wishing and all the hype and excitement would go away with time. Well over 20 years ago that didn't mean much and ya know what.......it still don't.

Can't wait to sit. C'mon Sept 27 (or maybe KY Bow opener).

As I get older, I hate the heat more. And I've never liked the bugs. I hate ticks but I hate chiggers more. Did I mention I really, REALLY hate chiggers? :mad:

...but then I'm not really ready for deer season yet. At least I'm not ready for all the prep work that deer season entails.
 
I actually like all the work that goes on before and during season. Not quite ready for season to be here yet but my daughter is and that gets me fired up!
 
I look forward to it but not ready yet. I have too much fishing and spending time with the family camping before it hits.

When I wrote the above, the weekend chigger bites hadn't kicked in yet so I overlooked the little devils. :) Right now, I am one big living, breathing itch, so "YES" add 'chiggers' to my official Summer "Complaint List"!
 
I'm pretty much as ready as can be. I already have everything planned out until December which is when I'll try random spots that I will keep low pressure on.
 
I stay pretty ready I am very hot natured and I am outside all day long year round so I hate summer always have and probably always will. I like fishing but I could easily do without fishing to hunt. nothing like deer season for me.
