Title: What states this year?
Post by: derek on March 02, 2018, 12:47:54 PM
MD, DE and NJ are my definites right now.  My buddy whitelightning has me really contemplating a big drive to south Florida here in a few weeks... still not sure on that one, but I want to.  Really enjoyed visiting my grandmother and running the hollers and hills of WV last spring, got the itch to do that again.. she also owns property in PA near the line that's loaded.. plus PA is 20 minutes from me.. so that's a thought as well.  Been saying that for a few years now and haven't done it yet.  How about the rest of you killers?

I'm rolling to Kansas for the first time. Have some buddies that hunt it every year, so the learning curve will be easy on me... Where at in Fla are you looking at?

Not sure about Missouri this year, Saw the Ortho surgeon yesterday. We normally leave the Sunday before the opener. I have a follow up apt with same Dr on 4/12. I have a full knee replacement coming.  Hope to be healthy enough to hunt Pa.

Those birds will be there next year if you can't swing it this year. Easier to say than swallow, but your health is more important.

MD, NJ for sure and VA a strong maybe.

Work is going to kill me the whole season, but I will get out.

Start it off at home in Missouri.  Then I've got two tags in South Dakota and one in Wyoming.  I've got a two week block to be on the road, so if I tag out early in SD and Wyoming I'll likely hit at least Kansas on the way home.  Possibly Oklahoma.  I'm Nick by the way, hope you boys make a pile!

Glad to see our new fellers joining the party!  Sounds like we're gonna cover a little more territory than normal for the GOT.. Gonna be an awesome year

I believe Whitelightning is going to kick things off for us Saturday morning in Florida... I'll be driving down Sunday night after work hoping to uncase the gun sometime Monday late morning if I can stay awake. 

Can't wait!

I asked the wife very nicely if I could get at least a week in Missouri before my knee replacement. And she said " like I could stop you".
  I will not be able to chase them hard when I go, have to find a place to walk within 100-150 yds of my 4 wheeler and set call and wait.  And good chance my early Pa season will be shot due to surgery.
