The leaves are falling and turning brown. To me that is a good thing for one reason…. Hunting. I know what you are thinking, and yes there are multiple hunting seasons and a few begin before all of the leaves turn brown and fall down to the ground. Though it is already technically hunting season, I am ready for first season shotgun.

I have recently been out preparing for the season by scouting trails and moving stands so I will be in a better position to make a clean shot at a deer. First season shotgun takes place for me and my family on the first weekend of December. It is one of my favorite times of the year, because I get to sit in in the woods for hours watching the sun rise at the beginning of the day. Then later watching the sunset at the end of the day while spending time with my family. Though some years it is very difficult to wake up around 4 in the morning to get in the stand around 5:30. It is very worth it when you get to watch the sun rise. It is also worth it when you end up with a good buck down.

The best part about first season shotgun is spending time with my family that I don’t get to see that often. I love them all so much. They would do anything for me and I would do anything for them, so spending time with them doing something that we all love to do together is always a good time. First season shotgun is only a couple weeks away and I am ready to get out in the stand. The question still stands. Are you ready?
