RE: Are you ready?
Our season opens in two weeks and I'm ready also....the only thing I would add, is to take a moment on the opening day at daybreak, to offer thanks to Mom Nature, for the health and good fortune to be there!

Wahya>
In answer to your question, I buy and use "Tide Free" from Walmart. It is plain tide detergent without the perfumes, and brighteners. It works for me and is as cheap as regular laundry soap.
Strongbow> what is a Dean Torges tree seat? I have one made of plywood that I bought 15 years ago at a deer seminar somewhere. It has been a dandy. Uses a slipknot rope to go around a tree, and a 10x12 seat. It goes around my waist and I never know it's there.

John,
The tree seat sounds exactly the same to the one you have.
Dean Torges has an article on such a seat. He has instructions on his website on how to build one. I hunt mainly from the ground and such a seat would really be a luxury on my hunts. Can you post a pic of the seat that you own? Thanks.

RE: Are you ready?
I've been thinking about the title of this thread and one thing that comes to mind is that I feel more physically and mentally ready for this year than I have for a while.
Earlier this spring I was wasting away on the couch, contemplating the onset of dic-do (that's when your belly sticks out further than your dic do) and I decided to embark on some meaningfull exercise program. As a result I started riding my mountain bike to work, a 25 mile round trip, and running 2 to 3 miles at least 3 times a week. Now, in retrospect, I find I have way more energy, I can focus on things better, and just generally feel good about myself. I've shot better 3-D this year than previously and I know I can go all day and hunt hard. My whole "mental game" seems to have improved and I'm really looking forward to this season.
Definitely a different kind of "are you ready" but I now think a very necessary one.
Here endeth the ramble...

Strongbow> I could take a picture of it and E-mail you one. I don't know how to post them here. That involves HTML, and I remember Crank Telephones.

RE: Are you ready?
RC, now you're talking ready. I've been losing inches and gaining strength myself. I was developing a serious case of the D.Ds as you put it, lol, and now that I'm working on it a little, I'm really starting to feel better. My back doesn't ache near as much either. What got me interested in losing the belly and some weight with it was when I was watching TV and some of the hunters from back east stumbling around the woods and breathing hard when they climbed up into their treestand. They were looking and sounding a lot like me and it scared the heck outta me, lol. Still not where I want to be, but am in a much better possition than I was a couple months ago.<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

John Nail,
can you send a pic of your tree seat? I'd like to compare it
to the one Dean Torges has on his site. Might be some differences
I could incorporate. [email protected]
HTML and Crank telephones???
