Dove season has been open, bow season starts next weekend here. I've been going through my gear and spending way too much. 
Dropped a 30-30 off yesterday with the gunsmith to have a pad added. The gun was a tad short for me and it only had the plastic piece on the end. Kind of killing two birds with one stone on that one.
I had bought a Leupold 2-7Ć33 for the 30-30. When I took it to the shop for the butt pad and bore sight the owner said a guy had traded in a scope and some other stuff yesterday evening on a gun. He took it out and it was, what looked like, a brand new 1.5x4-20. It didn't even have scuffs from rings. He said also that he didn't think the guy ever mounted it. He sold it to me for $180 ($300 new online). We changed plans a little and put that new scope on the 30-30 and my 308 Marlin goes in Friday for the same butt pad and to mount and bore sight it with the 2-7Ć33. It worked out really nice.
Now, I need to start rattling the horns for 30 min every evening to get in shape.
Who else is getting ready for the seasons to open?
We hunt dove, whitetail and quail. It gets pretty hectic. I always laugh when people try to come hunt then I send them dates and they say they already have some thing planned. Ill say, here let me send you some dates for next year so you can save them. They will be like, ya that sounds good. I have a deal in my calendar that starts Sept 1 and goes through Feb 28. It's labeled Hunting Season.
