I'll hunt mornings, fish in the evening.

Who's hunting next weekend?
I'll be going Sat morning and evening and Sunday morning, and I'm taking my girlfriend's son with me. He's 10 and has no real experience hunting or shooting, but loves watching hunting vids with me and said he wants to learn how to hunt. I'll try to show him the ropes and hopefully I'll be able to at least connect on a doe while we're out there. The temps don't bother me at all, but the bugs do. Hopefully the bugs aren't that bad or I'll be loaded up with bug spray. We have a bumper year on our property for big bucks on cam, so I'll be in the woods as much as possible this year. I don't have the option to be out there every weekend, so I have to take every opportunity I get.
lakeshiner,
That is exactly what I was talking about in my post...and I hunt private, so my stand and ladder sticks are already in the tree! I may go check my stands and hang a couple cameras this weekend, but with the weather being so nice, I think I will take the boat out a couple more times and make sure I have some walleyes in the freezer just in case the deer hunting thing doesn't pan out...
I'll be going to some of my public spots that are good early season. Later in the year they will be boogered by others, so I go now or I don't go there at all. The heat keeps people at home. Very few want to carry in their stand, bow, and a pair of waders to cross water. Then sweat through your camo, drip sweat on the ground, and be eaten by mosquitos. Then if you shoot a deer, you get to drag it out of there and stay up late getting it into the fridge before it spoils. Oh, and you sweat even more dragging it out.
I'm excited now, but guarantee by the time I get to my tree I'll be swearing and asking why.
