Improved my shooting skills and yardage guessing abilities tremendously.

Spent more time to become more familiar with patterns on the property my family owns in PA.

Grew a huge food plot. We had a 30 acre patch that had wonderful cover, water, and seasonal apples on one side but once the apples were done there were only the occasional deer passing through this patch and not much rut sign. This huge food plot is just on the edge of it so we hope to have some more predictable patterns here once the first few frosts sweeten up the brassicas in it. It is 1.3 acres and includes Biologic Premium Perennial, Maximum, and Full Draw. (Pics below and lots of pics in the wildlife management forum)

Saved more vacation time to use for hunting and got rid of the ex-fiance who was the best 1 person hunting prevention team in the universe. The new GF is much more tolerant of my passion/hopeless addiction to this sport and archery in general. [8D] I also should have roughly 100 hours of vacation to burn between 10/1 (PA Opener) to 1/15 (PA Late season closing) between both the NY and PA properties I have access to.
