Man, there's a new intensity in the air these days. Stop by any sporting goods stores and you can see it in everyone's faces. The lookers are buyers now. Coats, knives, binoculars, guns. Oh yeah-it's game time. I work at Wal-Mart and swung through sporting goods last night as a father and son were picking up a slug gun and all the goodies to go with it. Budget be dammed, his son't gonna have a nice rig when the season opens. I stopped to talk for a second as the sporting goods guy and assistant manager went through the paperwork. They're heading out on a family farm south of the Twin Ciites. Lots of deer around this year, including a couple nice buck they've seen.

Everyone's got bucks on the brain. Have our archery guys seen much rutting activity yet, or is it still just a bit early. Man, I live for this this schidt! 'Not gonna get much sleep for the next week-that's for sure.
