RE: Who, What, When, Where and Why
Well, tough indeed.
Where: I like the eastern hardwoods, but that's where I hunt. No where south, I like it cold. Probably pick Iowa, big bucks and nice habitat.
When: beginning of november, I'll pick the 3rd thru the 10th. Also I want perfect weather. lows in upper 20's highs in the 40's cloudy, and little wind.
As far as gear, I'd keep my same bow setup, but probably add some new warmer duds, and maybe a newer light treestand, quality optics, and some other misc items.
Who: I'd like it to be my Dad, buthis attitude has changed a lot over the years and I really don't think he'd enjoy it or want to go. In which case I'd pick one of my old college buddies that I don't get to see to often anymore, but who still lives to hunt like mad.
