Yeah, but you'll never even go hunting, it will take you too long to get ready and you won't be able to figure out which shoes go with your camo pattern. Chris

Picturing Charlie as a girl is something I can’t and wont do. It makes my head spin.  :scared:
I try not to let my mind wander...It is too small and fragile to be out by itself.

Gonna try to get out of my comfort zone.Hunt the thousands of free acres within an hours drive from my home instead of pounding the 80 acrse that abuts my yard.Less sunday night football and more sunday afternoon hunting.FOCUS!

This year I am focussing on my son in the woods. Quality of time not quantity.

This is kinda interesting.... Good thread idea.

I will be hunting two new bows which I am "practiced up" on now.  Thats one thing.

Next, I will likely hunt a bit more from the ground.  Its easier for me but the walking in and out could become a problem, especially if I kill something.  Have to call for help.

I hope to find a blind and deaf elk that will give me a broadside shot for a change!

Two things:

1. Hunt with My son.

2. Pick a spot, draw and then concentrate. (Its working in practice.)

I'll be hunting for the first time with a longbow.  I picked the woods, custom-ordered it, tuned it, and learned to shoot it.  Now I'd like to fill my tag with it!

I am gonna do the unusual, like setting up on the edge of a housing development where no one would even think of hunting. Maybe do more run and gun deer hunting, I usually sit a lot, I will have 63 stand sites this year. I may move every hr. or so from stand to stand as long as I can get away with it. Shawn

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.

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.
More bows than I should have!

I'm gonna concentrate on quality more and numbers less. I'm also gonna work harder scouting than I have the last few years.
