It seems that for me, the preparation never stops. As soon as the season ends, I am prepping and planning for next season. Even more so this year as I am heading to Colorado in September for Elk. Making new arrows, shooting and sharpening broadheads, shooting in extra strings. Trying to get my gear together in plenty of time, checking , double checking and wondering what I've forgotten. Been 10 yrs since I've taken a a big hunting trip and I am remembering that the prep is a big part of the journey! Mike
