3D league in January. Spring bear with my new TallTines recurve, plenty of scouting/hiking/stump shooting missions this summer with lots of fly fishing mixed in as well.

Pronghorn starts up mid August, then the holy grail of elk and mule deer hunting!

My plan is to get after the spring bear pretty good as I need some meat for the freezer, and unless I can find someone here in 309 willing to let me trespass, doesn't look like I'm going to get much whitey doe hunting in the rest of this year.

Sounds like everyone has some great plans following this years deer season! I started my love with a recurve three yrs ago when I took up bowfishing! That's a huge passion of mine so I can't wait to get back out on the river!

My deer season end January 4th. I'll be taking my kids the following 2 weeks for youth days. Then it's all about the hogs for me!!

Still got a few weeks left of deer season.  So I'll hit it hard the next few weeks.  Then small game until the middle of February.  After that it'll be onto stump killing and coyotes till April when turkey season opens.  That'll last me till may and then bull frog season opens up.  Between frogs, ground hogs, and coyotes it'll keep a man busy till September again.... It's a vicious cycle, one of the many reasons I love living in ky!

Heading to Tx in Feb for a hog hunt with PBS members.  Spring Turkey here at home in the Yooper.  Wyoming combo antelope/elk in September.  Will then head back to the Yooper for deer.  Should keep my longbow humming.  Merry Christmas to everyone!

I'm heading to Maryland in January for sika with Gary Hall and Dave Grant (canopyboy).  As of now, I'm planning to take a new mild r/d bow I just built.  It will be it's maiden hunt.

I sold all my guns to buy bows a long time ago and I never regretted it once.

We still have our late deer season and small game after Christmas. In March I have a SC hog hunt booked. Spring is bowfishing, and Summer means groundhog hunting.

Guns are boring.

Our season runs to mid January, but I'll be starting leagues sometime early into the new year.  Need to stay actively shooting.

I'm ready for spring turkeys!  I'll also get after a coyote or two with my bow... at least I'll attempt to get after a couple with my bow.

More shooting, probably round bales up at mom's.
 
later, some more stumping and scouting.

Spring turkeys here in NC, I just went on my first Florida hog hunt last weekend.  No hogs down but GOOD GRIEF WHAT A TON OF FUN!!!!  I will try to put together another hog trip this spring.  I am also going to try the thumper dunker method of 'yote slaying through the winter months after deer season closes.  

I just got permission to hunt a fantastic piece of property here in WNC, so I will obsess over scouting, camera and stand placement all spring and summer.  

I have never been to a shoot of any kind, and hope to get out to a few this summer.

Next for me? I'm thinking I may have to go out on my first hunt with a traditional bow! I've been shooting regularly the last 3 months, have made some big strides the last few weeks and I think I'm ready to take some blunt tips out and chase some late season squirrels.

I will get out with the dog and stump shoot, check out some other state land. I will try to make it to the Michigan Traditional Bowhunters Rabbit hunt in January also to the St.Judes Bunny Stomp. Then in early spring it will be practicing for the spring turkey season.

Going to Ft Stewart next tuesday pig hunting for a few days and BC for bears in June. After 12 years I should be able to draw a bear tag in my own back yard so I'm planning bears in Michigan in September.  If I get hosed on my draw again I'll go back to Ontario.  Be nice if Michigan did their draw 6 months earlier so guys could make other plans if they don't draw.

Good luck boys.
