Thnks folks. I'm starting to itch for another hunting season. If it's half as good as last year I'll be tickled. I saw some really nice bucks last year. Ended up taking 3 does and 2 8 pointers. What I lacked in overall days in hunting I got lucky and made up for in quality. Lilred, the hounds are ready to go! We've got alot of young hounds this year so it oughta be fun! They've been running in field trials all summer so they're in great shape going into the seaon. I'm gonna climb a tree on Sat. afternoon. Haven't had much time to scout so it'll be more for just getting out than anything. I do have a nice stand set up that I haven't hunted yet though. I'm thinkin Sat might be the day to fix that.
