Every year I think I will have this problem… Every year I am dead wrong. Come October 1, I’m perfectly content to be sitting in a tree with a pointy stick watching the big John Deere’s rolling in the beans. Once the corn starts coming off, I spend my days in a tree watching for deer and my nights oiling up the shotguns.
There’s rumors floating around (check out http://www.iowawhitetail.com) about a 200+ buck already shot this month. Even with the predicted 1/2 sized pheasant population this year, there’ll still be about half-a-million cocks killed on opening day – and if someone’s gotta do it, it might as well be me. The fish can wait until hard-water season.
