3 more long days New York!
« on: October 12, 2010, 08:00:00 PM »
3 more long days before Saturday morning's opening day! I've got all my chores done for my property owners.The woods smell of falling leaves, there are lots of acorns still on the ground, the stands and blinds are set, and I'm shooting better than ever. I've been seeing lots of deer and turkey. The air is cool and I could use some peace and quiet. I am excited!    :D   Life is good!

Deer Hunting Time Is Here Again

Deer hunting time is here again
And many hunters take to the woods
After months of planning with family and friends
They gather in common brotherhood

It's a freedom that fills the soul of a man
With the peace of God's nature all around
Lessons that have been taught since time began
And lifelong memories and friendships are found

Hunting is taught by tradition still yet
Knowledge passed on from man to man
And you'll learn things that you'll never forget
And respect nature more, our wildlife, and our land

So all you hunters enjoy this time
May you be skilled and have lots of luck
May God bless you as you hunt today
And may you bag that ten point buck! !

Bless you, and may your hunts be graced with the gifts from above.

I will be out there in a couple of weeks, and your poem hit me straight in the heart. My buddy was out there last weekend, and he saw no sign. Not unusual for this time of year, but I have such hope. Ten point or a doe fawn, it is the doing, and the hoped-for gift that keeps me going.

The freedom of walking the blessed land with a bow in hand is the greatest gift of all.

Thanks Killie! All the best to you! Charlie still asks about you! Doing great as a Boy Scout. I have no doubt that he will become an Eagle just like his dad.

Brian,

I'm a fellow Eagle and my name is Charlie so I know it can be done   ;)    :readit:    .  I wish him and you the best in his journey.

Unfortunately Saturday is Out I was hit with an unexpected training that will cost me 50 bucks if I miss.   :readit:    :banghead:    

There is always Sunday.

Good Luck all you NY'ers this weekend.
Relax,

You'll live longer!

Charlie is an autistic boy that was in my Pack. I'm the Cubmaster and a Life scout. He really took to archery so somebody donated a bow to him an Killdeer made him some sweet arrows. He's a great kid from a truly awesome family. He is focused on scouting and continues to confront and overcome hos challenges.

Sorry about Saturday. I hear the deer have training that day too! (does that help at all?)  :dunno:

Tell Charlie that I think about him often, and wonder what kind of arrows a growing young man might be shooting these days.

It's about time. It is ridiculous that the season doesn't open on October 1st!

Good luck to all and be safe.

As a former Scoutmaster and father of 2 Eagles, thanks for all you are doing. It does make a difference.

Good luck guys! Long Island opened on the first but haven't had a shot yet. Hopefully this weekend.

Opening Day can't come soon enough for me. If all goes well I'll have a week at my place upstate. Maybe I can close the deal this time around... Maybe.  :rolleyes:

Best Of Luck To Everyone!

Weather forecast where I'll be hunting. Sounds great to me.

Saturday: A chance of showers before 2pm. Partly sunny and breezy, with a high near 55. Chance of precipitation is 30%. New rainfall amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible.
