well i'm ready for Oct. 1 to go stick a big buck, but i'm also ready for sept 1, as that is the start of hunting seasons here in OK with dove season opening, i'm pumped as our farm is the only pond for a couple miles, minus a few stock tanks and stuff here and there. Thats where i'll be always have good luck there, will be awesome due to the drought this year. Who and what else you planning on hunting before whitetail season kicks off.
