    Now that I have your attention.... I am dying, plain and simple, to get out into the woods! I'm currently at work (you can usually tell when you see my reply to 10 threads at 1 in the morning). I took an extra day off this week (I am off 4 days a week, this week it's five) and I plan on spending all my time in the woods. I can't say that my girlfriend is too excited about it, but at least she understands.

    I've been hunting the past few weeks, a day or two each week. I've only not seen a deer in one sitting, but I can't seem to get a shot at one. I did get a shot at a little doe, but my peep sight moved on me (didn't realize it wasn't tied, new bow) and I missed. Saw two little bucks and gave them a pass. Outside of that all the deer I see are 15 minutes after shooting time/light, or they come out just slightly different than what I expected.

    Either way, I'm practically having a hemmorhage sitting here at work. To make things worse, I'm having a slow night. While that's good for the patients (I'm an ICU nurse), it's bad for me. I think I have what you would call "buck fever".

    I get one day a week to hunt... I fell on the grenade to be in the USMC Birthday ball ceremony, figuring it would only be the evening.

    Nope- entire freaking day in DC on Saturday. So, prime time is here and I am waving my damn sword around.

    Feel your pain.
