Any purchases that you all still need to make? Are there more stands to hang and shooting lanes to clear? I need to keep shooting and pick up some new outerwear for fall/winter. Otherwise, I am ready to go!

Not quite ready yet but getting close, hanging stands in Ill. this weekend / checked out my stands behind the house today and they are good to go. Now all we need is the temp to drop about 50%.

I need to do a LOT more practice with my bow this year. Been a busy Summer so I've shot a lot less than normal.

I've shot broadheads into my foam deer to the point that I had to break out a can of triple expanding foam to repair it's core. A few lanes to clear and a ladder stand to erect and I'll be ready.

Couple of minor improvements to my stand and I can't get it in my head it's only a month away.

If it's as hot as it is today come Oct 1, I'm gonna have to pass until it cools down. I hate to sweat and slap skeeters while in my stand, but I am good to go otherwise. A good hard frost would ease my mind also, but I doubt it's gonna happen before then.

Haven't hung the first stand yet, but Dad and I did some clearing for them back in Feburary or so.
I also need to practice, practice, practice- I've probably shot the bow less this year than I have the last couple of summers....

We've got most of our stands hung, all food plots are in. We are just counting down the days now! I think I get more excited each year for the start of bow season. There is nothing more relaxing than being perched in a tree on a cool October morning or evening, and there's no rush bigger than that of being within 30yrds of the majestic whitetail deer. I'm going insanse, it's all I think about. I really am obsessed with the whitetail deer!
