BOW SEASON OVER????

Z-F; I have to do my Fred Asbell exercises to stay on top of the bows I shoot. Take some time off and it takes longer to get back in the game, at 61.

Perpetual bow season.....GEORGIA!!!!!!!!!!!

*sigh* I hear ya, Terry. But us Yankees have to deal with that white crap, and the clear crap that goes with it (ice) and lately, sub-zero winters. Just trying to figure out ways to deal with it that don't involve relocation...

*Sigh*

I must be missing something..... What does white crap have to do with Bow season or hunting season or your state's hunting season?

White stuff keeps the mosquitoes down!!!!!

Which reminds me when I was in my twenties it snowed about 8" down here yes, we get snow in the South in case you didn't know, and we floated the river when the whole town was shut down....it was 11 degrees.

We went duck hunting so we are not the pansies that you think we might be in the Winter....we STILL HUNT and dont hug the heater....do you represent most northern hunters???

Deer Hogs Bears Turkeys mid August through May - bowhunt Stingrays June July - we never shoot 3D.

We are mixing in a lot more fishing and duck hunting and coyote trapping but all our year is driven by bowhunting.

Probably not. When I was younger that stuff didn't bother me near as much.

Not a thing, sir. I'm talking after the season ends (roughly 1st or 2nd week of January). Not much to do here between then and June..."after the hunt".

I shoot indoor 300 rounds twice/month until spring and then 3-D kicks in for all the surrounding clubs. If the weather is nice I can shoot in my backyard or several of us go over the club and hang out on Sunday mornings.

Yeah, pretty much my line of thinking. I'm considering trying to organize an informal indoor 3D league at the local range...maybe once/twice a month...just to keep the shooting muscles in shape, etc. and keep a little competitive spirit going...
There is no open land where I can go do my favorite activity...stumping...around here any more. It would more than likely get you arrested. Hell, I can't even shoot legally in my back yard any more (not that it's stopped me). This is not the world I grew up in. We are slowly losing our freedoms inch by inch.

I find myself in the archery/bowhunting doldrums May-July, after turkey season is over and the river starts calling my name. I try to shoot at least a few times each week then get more serious again in late July. December to February squirrel and rabbit / stumping is one of my favorite ways to get through the winter, without the self-imposed pressures of deer season.
