Next years deer season will be like starting from scratch again. Lord willing, I'll be off to university two hours from here, in an area I have never walked through before (or driven through for that matter). I would like to be able to hunt as much as I can, but I'm not sure how much time I will have for hunting. If I make the volleyball team, I won't have much time. If I don't, or don't go for the team, I'll have more. How much more, I have no idea.
With that said, I'm trying to figure out what to do for hunting gear, and I need whatever help I can get. Here's what I have
Bow - 46@28, but I draw around 31. I don't now, but I'm working on fixing my form.
Camo (can never have too much though)
Arrows (that aren't totally set up)
Here's what I don't have
treestand
quiver
broadheads
possibly some blunts
climbing sticks (or some way to get up a tree)
gloves
money (thats a biggie)
Here's what I'm thinking
Treestand
I'm looking for one that I can take up the tree and back down again when I leave. I don't have the time or money to set up a bunch of permanent stands, as well I like to be mobile. I've been looking at a few of the Long Wolf stands and trying to see if they will work. Light is good, but not crucial.
Quiver
I like the catquivers. I think the one I was looking at before was the cat II. I like how it protects the fletchings, protects the broadheads and is a pack at the same time. I'm not really sure how it would work while carrying a stand though...
Broadheads
I want to go with three blades this year. I'm thinking either snuffers or WW. Here's one of my dilemmas. I just got these new fancy shmancy Carbons, but I think I might run into a few problems with arrow weight. The shafts are 270 grains, plus 100 grain insert, and a 125 snuffer or 150 woodsman. Even with the woodsman, that brings total arrow weight to 520. Is that enough?
Blunts
Fairly simple, I'll probably pick up a couple judos
Climbing Sticks
I'm open to suggestions. I need a cheap and easy way to get up and down a tree.
Gloves
Something that I can slip my hands into when not in use, or maybe some gloves that I can shoot in
Money!!
I'm on a pretty tight budget. I'm joyfully unemployed right now, but I've gotten a couple articles published, and might have one more published, so I have a bit of money to spend. Not much though. I would rather conserve money and use it towards school. If something is really needed and will last a while -like a stand - I might be willing to invest in it.
