Any Bowhunters out there?

Hey guys - do we have any bowhunters on the Forum?? Just curious if there's anyone counting down the days until October 1st like I am. Only 49 days left to go here in Illinois!

I am hoping I will have the time to go bowhunting this year. The last couple years things have been too busy here for me to be able to.

Oh yea, live to bow hunt. Michigan opens OCT 1 and the youth season is in a couple weeks. Going out again Sunday to check trail cams and make sure the stands are good to go.

I can't wait, these past few weeks hunting season has been the only thing on my mind. Our bow season in GA starts Sep. 8th, so only a couple more weeks, and right across the border in SC their gun season starts this wednesday.

Can't wait for season to start, legally in Oklahoma we could start hunting whenever we want because we are behind high fence. Unfortunately I do more guiding then hunting but I can't complain because it's my job

Sweet! I had a Z7 Xtreme Tactical last year. Man, I LOVED that bow! Giving the Heli-m a shot this year. So far I really like it.

Had a couple more bucks show up on the trail cameras this past week. October can't get here quick enough! I thought about buying a Wisconsin tag since they open 2 weeks before IL, but just can't justify the money for a couple early weekends on public land.
