2 months and counting

I love the July 4th holiday.  And, seeing as how it is just around the corner I thought it would be worth mentioning what that means around my household.  First, I use this holiday as my official start date for trail camera deployment, hoping that for the next several weeks I will get some photos of the great bucks that will no doubt make a fool out of me come this fall.  Also, by this time most of the western draws are complete so I generally know what my fall will entail.  As is generally the case, this year proved to treat me pretty much the same way in the draws as it has for the past several, meaning, lots of refund checks, and very few hunts.  I say that as a true hypocrite because I actually have a very full plate this fall and the coming holiday always drives the point home that in a few short weeks we will all be unleashed by the western states to match wits with the animals that keep us up planning, scheming and hoping that this will be the year.  I hope everyone’s fall is turning into what you want it to be!  Also, I don’t have any pictures to post with this because frankly, I don’t really know what type of photo would be appropriate!
