We don't have off seasons,,,,I just have a serious lack of money,,,so I shoot in my back yard a lot,vist local clubs and shoot competitions.
We do have a local herd of Fallow deer,plus Rabbits,Hares an Turkeys,all in or around the farm lands and property I live on,but I'm not big on shooting small game an the Fallow are "to me" not truely wild animals because they live in a semi protected environment,so don't have any real value as a "hunting" animal anyway.

Bowfish,  Coyote hunt, target shoot, 3-D shoot every weekend I can.  Shoot 3-D at the club, hunters and target league at the local archery shop.  Trad archery is a life style for me.  Throw in camping, fishing, stump shooting, bladesmithing and working, family, etc....  I am amazed I ever sleep.

I also shoot nearly every day. I shoot indoors in inclement weather and outside: personal 3-D range, open commercial 3-D range, and I try to go to 1-2 3-D shoots per month. Bowhunting turkeys now,white-tail deer and elk this September through mid-January.  Cacciatore, because of the bow pics you posted on the Phenolic thread I bought a new LH, Blactail Elite yesterday -- 62", 47#'s. VERY ODD how I got it. Fellow ordered it more than a year ago. He changed his mind. Norm sent it to Footed Shaft for retail. I bought it from the Footed Shaft.  It is coco footed with Mryrtl I(riser and limbs). EVen has checkered grip. I would have ordered: 60", 48 pounds, coco and myrtle footed the same as this.  I feel like this bow was actually ordered for me! It is due to arrive tomorrow. Thanks for the tip on the Blacktail Elite.

There isn't an offseason. That is what is great about traditional bowhunting. I'm bowfishing right now.

Well usually just make the wife and kids crazy. But this past winter I found a gentleman farmer who has a heated pole barn. He was nice enough to let us use it to shoot in.

NO mountains to climb in South Georgia so I do alot of my workouts at the local football stadium doing stadium stairs, ride my road bike around 50-80 miles a week, fish down on the coast quite a bit, shoot my bow in the back yard or go stump hunting as there are no trad guys in my small town, play a little golf, and last but not least, pull my old boat down to the Keys for a week of flats fishing!!   :bigsmyl:

there are always varmits to chase  :) .  I hunt groundhogs, carp and 3d's.  And shoot as often as I can, I find that hot weather stops me from bakeing in the sun, so I sometimes shoot in the rains??  Call me wierd, we have a pavillion in the back yard, so you dont get really wet, but the air is nice and cool  :) !  I am almost as in love with fly fishing as I am with trad bowhunting, there are always fish, cold, hot, rain, snow!  

Plus that and I think after Curts turkey challenege we will all be making gillie suits, lol

I hang new stands. Try to gain access to new areas. Scout public land. I work alot so I can take a little time off during deer season.  Then I mostly just wait for deer season!
