    I'm in the same mode. Can't wait and getting really antsy. Now with this slight chill in the morning y'all should be ok with the snakes. Cold morning will keep them from moving as much. Be safe!

    cold is different than cool....by 9-10am, there looking for solid sun !! like in paths, roads and open low cover areas
    just right for folks walking.

    lets get a solid 50 over night, then i'd suspect a slow movement.

    area's are different...i'm dealing with positive attendances:hungry:

    Man I hear everyone talking about snakes and the 8 years I have been hunting FL I have only stumbled on black snakes thats it. Not one rattler, not one cotton mouth. (knock on wood) Be safe!

    Gotta start freshening up my bow skills too. On a side note, using my special "I'm just looking at powerlines" privileges, I looked at the archery facility off mobile hwy. That's a very nice setup, I'll try to go one Thursday evening when it's open.

    I certainly have to get my stuff together otherwise I probably won't be able to hunt with my bow at least. Waited an entire year for nothing, not going to let that happen.

    But look at this video that's floating around of an 11 year olds first bow hunt ever! Its so adorable, every kid should learn how to hunt! ♥

    I used to get my arrows wrapped like that (not the same colors). I found it better to use the quick fletchs. If I mess one up at the house I can fix it quick an easy.

    have yall tried the IGNITOR NOCK ??

    I am an absolute lumenok fan....but now I tried the ignitor from nu-fletch...its mighty fine

    my hand built arrows will be tote'n the ignitor.

    2nd grab will be with the lumenok.

    i'm shoot'n horizontal, so your mileage may vary if your vertical.
