I can’t believe the summer is almost over. It ends as quick as it begins it seems. Last night in was dark out and I looked at the clock and it was only 8:10. What a bummer.
Well, one good thing is going to come out of the end of summer….deer hunting season is just around the corner. I have been shot gun hunting on and off since 1995 and have yet to get a deer. Oh, I’ve had plenty of opportunities to take shots over the years but due to the situations it was not safe to take them. One time I was on 5 or 6 does with a clear shot but behind them were houses, so I decided to pass up the shot. There have been a few times like that.
I have a better feeling about this year though. I finally got my archery license. Now I can hunt early fall, and the rut. Basically the bucks are looking for does to mate with. In the past years with the shot gun I was restricted to 1 week in December. Then, with an additional permit purchased, January. Some of February in certain zones. At least in New Jersey anyway.
I have private property to hunt on; otherwise I would not be hunting in New Jersey. There are way more hunters in this state than land to hunt on. And at the rate of the building that’s going on, there will be no land left period.
Anyway, I am looking forward to getting out there and doing some hardcore bow hunting.

Come sit in my backyard tonight. You can shoot all the deer and bears you want. No permit required.
If you did not 'get a deer', isn'tit just 'siiting in the woods' as opposed to 'hunting'?
Scott, it is hunting because I am still hunting them. If it was any easier it would be called killing. :-)
