If nothing else, it helps to make the time pass between seasons.<br /><br />texwisgirl: I try to avoid high highfalutin' King's English!<br /><br />LB: That's an awesome idea your therapist had! I might do that just simply for conditioning. Finally, a good use for the stupid commercials!<br /><br />Al: I knew you were a year round bow shooter. I'd like to do that, but it just gets too dang cold to be enjoyable. You make a great point about having a pro shop inspect your bow. Your season begins in July? I've always complained about the heat here in September. Guess I won't do that so much.<br /><br />PTO: You are correct and I've procrastinated many times. I've even gone so far as to have the intention of buying a new piece of gear, put it off and then the season is here - then the season ends and I never bought it. You've got to do it even though it seems early.<br /><br />Dawn: I guess you could say what we go through in preparation for opening day is the equivalent of a woman getting ready to go out. haha!

(I guess people like me who know nothing of what this is like;))<br />I have to say I think it's a lot easier to be training for my triathlons.

I used to be one of the many guys who would leave my bow after the season and pick it up over the summer. I now love shooting year round. <br /><br />One thing I'd like to mention is that even though I go over my bow with a fine tooth comb, I still like to take it to a pro shop and have them give it a once over. Just in case I missed something. You'd hate to be at full draw on a P&Y animal and have your gear fail you.<br /><br />Another is scouting. Get out there and burn some boot rubber. Trail cams don't always pick up everything and while I use them from time to time, I feel the best way to find game is to let my glass to some of the work for me. Park yourself in an area for a few hours at a time and take note of what you see.<br /><br />Out here, our season starts mid-July, but that's too hot for me. I'll be heading out in September and my tag allows me to hunt through December. I plan on putting quite a few miles on my boots.<br /><br />Good luck to you this year!Albert Quackenbushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05601926880788750927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3781891699445400020.post-40005175689723391642011-06-27T12:55:21.263-04:002011-06-27T12:55:21.263-04:00What!?

Alteast I know TexWis is smiling with all these posts ;)<br /><br />Nice check off list and reminders. We are constantly out at our hunting farms doing everything you just mentioned. Our friends laugh because we are out there year round .. "when you only need two weeks to get ready for opening day" . Yeah, that's why we see ten times more deer than you and then you wonder why...hhmmm? Huntinf is definitely a year round sport.<br /><br />I had elbow surgery two years and during recovery I got to the point where I could draw my bow but could not hold it. My therapist knew I hunted so she suggested that I watch TV w/ my bow and everytime a commercial came on... pull back and hold. Let go when the commercial ends. It was amazing how much that helped building muscle and stablility. I'm going to do it again this year even though my elbow is 100%.LB @ Bullets And Biscuitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05243995967326067900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3781891699445400020.post-56776173538850030942011-06-27T08:33:09.090-04:002011-06-27T08:33:09.090-04:00once again, awesome, thorough post. well written ...once again, awesome, thorough post. well written with very little 'hodepodgery' in it. ;)TexWisGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15510099344729038541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3781891699445400020.post-89309307359764831722011-06-27T08:23:19.097-04:002011-06-27T08:23:19.097-04:00Brian, you just about covered it all! So far this...Brian, you just about covered it all! So far this summer I have been focusing on getting my bow in order after replacing the string, cable, and peep. This weekend I will start hanging cameras, and checking stand locations. After that it is all conditioning and practice.<br /><br />Getting ready during the off-season is part of the process of hunting, and I like it that way. Though bow season is 5 months of the year, it is easy to spend the whole year preparing.SoleAdventure.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06054879461273739674noreply@blogger.com
