It seems that for me, the preparation never stops. As soon as the season ends, I am prepping and planning for next season. Even more so this year as I am heading to Colorado in September for Elk. Making new arrows, shooting and sharpening broadheads, shooting in extra strings. Trying to get my gear together in plenty of time, checking , double checking and wondering what I've forgotten. Been 10 yrs since I've taken a a big hunting trip and I am remembering that the prep is a big part of the journey! Mike

O yea, been trying to shoot at least every other day since mid June. Might go check on some acorn trees with the binos in a week or two.

You are a better man than I. The only thing that ever changes for me is that for three quarters of the year I can't hunt deer. Even at that the rest of the time is spent hunting small game, turkeys,  practicing, preparing, studying, and watching as many videos as I can. I think I have a problem.

haha like others that have posted i too am constantly getting ready...shooting in strings, sharpening broadheads, and testing/pushing my gear and myself to see just how far i can go with it and how well it will perform...i am constantly fixing weak links in my gear just to try to control the controllables...although this year i may be forced to wait till spring season or just small game cause i recently moved and have to wait for my 6 mo residency to kick in...but other wise leaves me plenty of time to do my homework on the area(s) that i will be hunting next year or in the spring. but otherwise i can always find things to do when it comes to getting ready for hunting season whether it be prep work, shooting, sharpening or finding new hunting grounds.
