Neat thread on the arkansas hunting site about "What has kept you from deer hunting?".......mostly it was surgeries and health stuff. But everyone said, without hesitation, their family's stuff overrode hunting.......

Our gun season opens next Saturday. God willing, I'll be in a tree at the farm. But I have enough family issues that something is liable to raise it's head and stop me. The good thing is that the season runs until December 13 (50 days???), so I have time to get out there.

Not sure how long your season is, but I bet you get some time in the woods.............oops, I mean in the field!
