I enjoy the preperation almost as much as the hunt itself, this includes practicing shooting, calling and of course scouting. Since we're talking about shooting I also like the social aspect of chatting/hanging with fellow sportsman as well as getting confidence in my equipment, meanwhile testing different things such as bullets/powder, broadheads and so forth. My membership to the local range is for an annual fee, so might as well use it. Not to mention come close to hunting seasonI don't have to worry about standing in line for a bench and can put my time into scouting or hunting instead.
