I can't wait, either! Going to be carrying the shotgun on scouting trips. I have a small game tag too this year, so maybe I'll get lucky before big-game season and flush a grouse or rabbit while I'm hiking. Here in Colorado, Dusky Grouse opens in Sept and rabbit and squirrel open in Oct. I screwed up my antelope lottery filing and drew a tag I can't use (GMU has no public land), and my deer/elk don't start til November. Gotta have something to do until then.
I know some of y'all like to work out or whatever, but I never got into the gym habit. "Exercise is wonderful. I could sit and watch it all day." For me, that applies to gyms. I have to be actually out hiking or I get bored out of my mind.
