I need to practice with the alpha and stix. I plan to start shining soon with my son. Got one food plot planted on one of my private properties and need to get the other done next week.

I am working with my feed mill and this in my 1 acre plot I am doing a forage mix of soybeans and cowpeas. He gets whole sale before it goes into the antler red one minus the buckwheat. If it takes off this should be a great mix high in protein. I am doing next weekend RR soybeans on 2 acres.
I walked back to my plot today with forage mix the tracks were amazing. I will leave it alone now till I plant fall winter kill plot end of July

Nice, good luck. You should post up some pics of the process.

I'll be working on food plots after I get some cat fishing done.

Glassing, shining, 3D tournaments, looking at aerials and topos looking for overlooked bedding areas.

Also do a lot of walking and mountain biking from now till fall to keep in shape and along with some weight training. Makes a big difference as you get older and helps to go that extra mile to get away from other hunters. Definately makes a difference when dragging a deer from deep in a cattail marsh.

I am shooting quite a bit. Like to get out and shoot 3d. Am going to start shining again soon as well. I am also putting together a binder with maps and aerials to my new found spots and the spots I have found over the years.I am jotting down any notes or observations I made in the spring. That is something I wish I would have done along time ago. My gear pretty much stays in top condition all the time cuz I am a bit anal about it. I also like to go back and reread posts on here that were made during the season. Guys with questions etc... Some great advice is given on here when someone has a dilemma. I really would like to get better at picking spots based on a topo for some new areas I want to take a look at. That is one thing I really need to improve.

To be honest I'm not doing a thing right now. Did some scouting when the snow melted but that was It.

I have worked on my stand sights, cutting shooting lanes, opening trails past my stands for the deer to use, and also have mowed food plots once this year already. Got the trail cameras out to see who is still walking around for the upcoming season. Checked for new stand locations according to last years deer movements. I also bought a travel trailer that I am doing a frame off restoration to for our hunting camp. Then trying to get out atleast twice a week to shoot the bow.

Also, I'm shooting my bow almost everyday. I shoot a traditional bow and I have learned that I'm too old to just pick it up a month before season.










Love it Klemz......... Keep shooting

This has been my slowest off-season in a decade. The only thing I am doing right now that will help me come the hunting season is NOT taking leave at work. I haven't taken a day of leave in over 10 months. That will help me come the hunting season.

Walked 1.5 miles today with 35 pound pack...picked three spots to get trees ready.

Will go back and prepare trees on Wed with my son to help...set up, trim some, take down.
