Well has The anticipation really started for most?

Not at all. This is the season where I get the blues. I hate summer with all my soul, spirit, and being. You won't catch me in the woods till October. Screw spiders, cobwebs, gnats, skeeters and Earth for having the audacity to face towards the sun this time of year. The Sun can go pound sand too while we're at it
 
I should check the food plot today. Cams will be soon. Been shooting every couple days and getting on the work out train. Was considering a compound, but not right now the ILF setup shoots so well I'll probably stick with it.

Fellow summer hater reporting for duty. I'll still be outside but I won't be in the woods much, and I'll be complaining like all the poor little old Karens do when it drops below 50 degrees. You can clothe up for cold but I've yet to find a cure besides AC for swampazz.

Count me in on this train. Once it gets hot and humid I’m useless. New England has had a long cool spring and early summer, to my delight.
 
For me the excitement never really stops it just gets blunted by the end of season since I am worn out. I take off a week or two and get back at scouting really hard post season about the second week in February. I walked over 100 miles between February and the end of turkey season at the end of April. I found a couple of great looking primary scrape spots I hope will pay dividends this fall.

I use those cheap $30 Muddy cameras and they work well. The batteries last forever in them. I use Energizer Lithium batteries and can leave a camera out all year long. In remote places where camera theft is unlikely, I take a 5 gallon bucket and split it in half and strap it to the tree above the camera. It makes for a nice hood protecting the camera from the elements and sun glare. I buy brown buckets from Acadamy Sports and sand it a little so to dull the shine. They hide pretty well.

I don't get too worked up about hunting until about mid-August when some the colors just start changing a little out in the woods. The cherry trees and the poison ivy start tuning colors early. Seeing those early signs of fall colors gets me pumped up.
