I'm going to try to do better with the equipment that I already have. When I get good with it, I will probably stay with it.

Shawn, you might wanna hang a few more so you are not hunting the same spot every 2 months Haha

This is my first year with a recurve and I can honestly say I am ready to go. So other than that, not too much different.
I did put a radical helix on some arrows last night and they really fly well. So might go with them.
My goal was to kill an elk in my home county, but that is looking more and more unrealistic at this point, so I'm already moving to plan B for elk.
I'm going to spend a little more time in the high country after bigger bucks, but I almost always bail out and head closer to home on the ground I know. I expect no different
I like the "relax" thing. Yeah, it's no good when hunting becomes work.

I'm going to go where I got a chance at a giant, hunted my whole life here in east tn. Biggest deer I ever saw here would be small by most standards. I am going to spend a week in wisconsin the end of October.

Hunt from the ground only and what ever speed I am moving move even slower! Also new arrows, AD Hammerhead lites, so heavier arrow and more FOC, we will see how it works.

I am going to hunt with my longbow the entire season. I usually pick up my 7 mag when gun season comes in but this year its all archery and longbows.

I am going to hunt from a portable and the ground more.... and then put my ladders in better positions... Place my tree stands with better cover and access... No more good enough or gaad as I can get it... Only place stands in REALLY GOOD spots that have access, back cover, and preferably in the dark shadows, so I don't look like a 175# squirrel fidgetting away....
Last year wasn't bad, but put a few stands in killer spots that still weren't quite right as there weren't proper trees for a stand any where closer... guess what? Those deer never came in close as they all stayed at 30-35 yds fed all around me... some bolted, a couple galls blew... and a few had me pegged and just turned and slid out of there....
