Well here it is the middle of August, and Fall is just around the corner. My favorite time of the year. The bow hunters at work are already buzzing about the up and coming season. We have an early youth pheasant hunt coming up in October, Bailey is almost one year old and I can't wait to see how she will perform.
The leaves will be turning color, the frost will be coming at night makin for good sleeping and snugglin! Can't wait to go belly up to an old Oak tree, and feel the warmth of the rising sun, as I wait for the sounds of those tree rats scampering thru the dry leaves. Ive seen lot's of big Blacks already this year.
Then before you know it we will be out chasing the elusive Long beard, trying to find a flock to bust up. The Local gun clubs will be having their annual turkey shoots, and youth field days. Soon the air will be ringing of the sounds of the deer rifles being zero'd in on paper in anticipation of the up and coming whitetail season. The new antler restrictions have cut down on buck kill last year so there are more bucks and bigger racks out there this year.
Ive got four youngins hunting this year, it's going to be fun! Allison can't wait to see if she can better the boys, Im bettin she does! Nothing like being out in the woods on a deer hunt and watching that first dusting of snow blow in and settle on the landscape! I can just see me now sitting against a big old tree trying to keep warm wait and hearing that old train whistle way off in the distance! Whats that coming it's a deer, a buck a big old knarly 8 pointer, wake up kid here he comes!
Ah yes, Fall, I love it, a trip to the cider mill for some fresh apple cider, and some of those pnut butter filles donuts, Indian corn, multi colored leaves, upcoming gun shows, the smell of gunpowder, watching Baileys little stubby tail wiggling with excitement as she sniffs out those birds! Seeing the excitement on the kids faces the night before deer season. Ah yes it just doesn't get any better than this Folks!!!
Get out and enjoy it, if you don't have a youngin to take, find someone who does and introduce him to the sport. Get em excited about something besides girls, and computer games! Can't you feel the excitement in 270 deerslayers post about spotting! Im here to tell ya old Paul is fired up and ready to go!

    Good thoughts my friend!

    Seems for most of us, the older we get the more fall impresses us as compared to spring.

    There is plenty to do in July! I got a ton of miles on my hunting boots this summer as I get during the fall and winter. A couple hounds will keep you busy, every night I was home I was in the woods with the dog(s), I don't think I took more then 3 nights off all summer from chasing *. During the day we got 3D archery shoots to attend, groundhogs to blast, paper to shoot and best of all, mudholes to jump in with the pickup!

    Rugster you have some of it smoked, ground into burger and some roast made from the hind quarters. Black Bear is the second best game meat I've eaten after Musk Ox. Also take and render the fat into oil. It's really great for frying things in.
