That's awesome advice Dan about the acorns. Since this will change the feeding pattern come September October timeframe.

Getting in better cardio shape.

Finally shooting my bow again. It had been a couple weeks as I am not a big fan of shooting in 95-105 degree heat. The break from shooting gave me time to attach my quiver after having my neighbor shorten the attachment bolt. I could not stand my quiver last year sticking out 2" off my bow. Now it is very tight to the bow. I am one of the few who hunts with his quiver on the bow.

I have one of 4 camera out right now. Had it out about 2 weeks now. Will check it here in another week or two. It is not located in a high deer density area so waiting a month is not going to kill me. Will put out my other 3 cameras in a couple of weeks in SW WI.

Debating about burying a kiddie pool on some property we have access. Not sure I will even be able to dig deep enough to bury it though. ground is kinda hard around here.

Tuned-up truck and replaced front brakes. Put another coat of wax on it and she is ready to roll for the season.

Purchased a Cabela's APO rainsuit this past Thursday for $50 for the jacket AND the pants. I really thought I was going to purchase a Frogg Toggs suit, but did not like them. They were too noisy with a tough outside texture.

Moveable parts were lubricated on each of my portable stands. I will never be busted AGAIN with a squeeky treestand.

Review my topo maps again to determine where I will hunt for each weather condition.

Now, just waiting for 9/15 to get here.

Yeah, we should try to get together for a few hunts.

The places I've been scouting I will probably never get back to. Seems like I do this every year: scout like crazy in several spots, prepare trees, then never get the time to hunt them. I just really enjoy looking over different places and seeing whats there, figuring them out and setting up a good spot, so it's all good I guess.

One day, I'll have enough time to hit all these spots...one day.

I agree with everyone on this one. Fine tune the bow. Check out some new spots. Check what fruit and nut trees are beginning to produce. Hang a camera in the field to get some pics of what to look forward to on that freezing morning in November. All with a drink in hand.

I checked out a nice cattail bed spot today on pub land. When I got there I was met by the buck I thought would be there. He didn't bust untill I was about 15 yards away. It's a new spot that I overlooked in march, but noticed recently when looking at aerials, perfect mature buck bed area, almost impossible to get to, unless u have a canoe and a LW! Picked out 2 trees that should work, waiting till October.
