When I first joined Trad Gang 5yrs ago, I was really excited to pursue getting my first deer/trad harvest. Somehow I got caught up in the buying and trading of all the different trad archery equipment this sport has to offer and realized that my focus had shifted. I was more into the equipment than the hunting!
Don't get me wrong, I still hunted every year and was having lots of fun but, I think I need to switch my focus back in order to loose the Wannabe1 status. This year I will no longer be buying and trading, only selling a few items I no longer need! Instead, I will be practicing and studying my foe, the Blacktail deer. :D
My equipment will be one of two Howard Hill longbows of the same specs. I will practice with both, one primary and one backup. A back quiver and well tuned arrows tipped with 2 blade BH. I will spend as many hours as allowable (by the boss) scouting the area I plan to hunt to better know my quarry. This is my New Year resolution. Wish me luck!
