I'm counting down the days! Trying to shoot every evening, for practice and heat tolerance. Getting a little more confident so it must be working!

I'm doing pretty good here too! Shooting with the quiver mounted on the bow and with the new arrows. Want to do a little more work at 20 yards with new broadheads (and with my boonie hat on) but I'm pretty close to ready!

shot 3 rounds of 3d this weekend to help me get ready, including my first tournament. Confidence is getting better, still counting down!

This week the hunting duds get sprayed down with Permanone, dried and then packed.
Hunting in Michigan is pretty tame compared to the south; no gators to eat you, no snakes to bite you, no Black Widows(oh, I take that back, I am bringing my Black Widow)

All of you (y'all for Pete) are way ahead of me.  I'm still trying to get my shooting setup together.  This weekend will be spent getting the other gear together, really looking forward to this trip, and bringing home some pork.

I have to start shooting with the camelbak and binos on so I can get used to that. Pretty sure the next 10 days are going to fly right by!

Looking forward to meeting & hunting with you guys.

I went out last night and tried to shoot in the heat wearing long sleeves and pants, but the skeeters got so thick i couldn't shoot (savings my thermocells for when we get to sc).  It also appears a group of ants have taken a liking to my bag targert.

Man it's been hot here lately,in the 90's the past 3 days.  At least we know we'll get a break sooner or later.  I'm not gonna complain though, two months ago we were freezin' our collective arses off!
 Spent most of the afternoon shooting with my camelbak strapped to my back.

I've been out for a few days to a work gig but I got back and went shooting yesterday too. Bought my Thermacell and picked up my new broadheads at the same time. I'll probably shoot with camelback and boonie starting tomorrow.
