272.0. "help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" by BPOV04::J_AMBERSON () Thu Nov 03 1988 14:37

    O.k. this is my annual "nerves" note.  I've got three weeks
    till I leave for NY.  What can I due to make the time pass quicker.
    I've done all the usual stuff (ie: shoot the gun, sharpen the knife,
    waterproof the boots, etc..)    To make matters worse I heard that
    the place we hunt got 4 inches of snow today.

    Move to Washinton so you can be done with everything but 
    Elk which starts on Saturday.  Oh, and of course pheasant
    only runs from Oct 1  to Jan 1st, so you still have to
    do that for 2 more long months.
    
    The problem is that you have to give up salmon fishing all
    during these pesky hunting seasons.  I mean all that hunting this
    year was fun....but all the salmon I missed.
    
    :-)
    
    Of course, if you have labs, pheasant hunting is not as much fun
    as if you have a real dog like a springer.

    Hey Brett, isn't this a contradiction of terms?
                                      
    
    Well I made the serious mistake of mentioning this "problem to my
    wife.  She now has a "to do" list on the refrigerator.  I'll be
    lucky if I get everything done by NEXT deer season.  I did go out
    and buy "North American Whitetail" last night.  Good mag.  Didn't
    help.

    well, if you get through your list and you want to make up some
    more goose silhouettes...I'd be happy to take them off your hands.

    Jeff, I think you should be nice to those *real* dogs and find them
    some pheasants or geese.  You don't want them to get too upset with
    your leaving them behind on a hunting trip..........
    
    Mark,
    
272.136 days and counting!BPOV04::J_AMBERSONMon Nov 14 1988 10:2922
    Well sports fans, the time is fast aproaching!  A week from today
    I'll be in the woods stalking Bambi.  Talked with the folks at the
    campground last night.  They are seeing deer every day while bow
    hunting, including some with _very_ respectable racks.  Only bummer
    is that the weather is getting warmer instead of colder.  Am still
    hoping that we get some snow for opening day.  Sharpend two knives
    last night. (Always need a spare).  Put one coat of snow seal on
    boots, will do another tonight.  Started my list of food that I
    want to bring.  Got to go get some more shells and Buck lure (pew!).
    Thought I would get in some sea duck hunting this past Saturday tohelp
    the time fly by.  The weather report said, winds 0 to 5 and seas
    flat.  Got up at 3:30 and we were down at the harbor by 6:00.  Wind
    was blowing 20-25 and seas were 4 to 6.  Got out to the mouth of
    the harbor and headed back in.  Don't feel like drowning over a duck. 
    Still had fun, went woodcock and partridge shooting instead.  Everything
    at this stage of the game is a formality while waiting for deer.                                                          
    Well, the countdown is on, good luck to all you Bambi slayers out
    there.  Have a safe and sucessful hunt.
    
    Jeff
