RE: Offseason
It easy! I have no off season. I hunt with my crossbow during archery season, rifle during the regular huntiing season, and again with my crossbow during the shotgun and muzzleloader season. That long season is accomplished by hunting with a camera, or cameras, or cameras, and game cameras. It's still hunting and called catch and release. You catch them on film and let them go. It's also a great time to let your game cameras do some work for you. I also use the off season to prepare an area for a new stand and then spend time in it watching the action. I have one stand I leave set up and practice out of. It can be interesting to watch what happens when you have decoy's.
