It's 3:21 am and I can't sleep
« on: August 29, 2007, 03:23:00 AM »
I've been looking forward to opening day since 1966 and I STILL get so worked up I can't sleep for days before. I love whitetails and what they've done to me.

Almost ashamed to admit I don't get excited about it until mid to late October, even though our bow season opens in a couple days...

Anytime someone is chasing whitetails and I'm not able to, it drives me nuts.  I can't sleep the night before opening day either!

what i can't figure or should i say my wife can't figure is why i have no trouble getting up at 4am during hunting season but she has to all but drag me out of the bed at 7am any other time.  

even then at 7am i feel tired and all groggy, but starting in October and going through December i jump right out of bed wide awake.

just one month to go....

HEHEHEEE...that's me too Rob. Drives my wife crazy. The other day she asked when opening day of deer season was (like she didn't know). She told me she wanted to get her Christmas shopping out of the way in September, because she gets "widowed" through the first of the year starting in October. Now that's a good wife...I just told her to get it out of the way while I'm elk hunting, and we'd be fine. I am unable to quote her response due to this being a family website.  :)

Its 2:00 p.m. and I cant go to sleep...   :D   Biggie, do you ever go hunt over at Piedmont NWR?
Man guys I am telling you that is some seriously beautiful and bountiful area up there. It would take several lifetimes to see all of it. My brother and I  
will be camping up there for part of the bowhunt.
Best of all, its free!

Here's why I can't sleep. I put down some corn to see who made it through the spring and summer. They're not giants, but they're pretty nice for my farm. The time is wrong, it's really 6:46 in the morning. Those two are the two biggest of five in the bacholar group.

Season opens Saturday!!
