Was just curious what everyones plans are for the passing of spring? I plan on spending lots of time scouting the new swamp spot and possibly building a nice elevated ground blind for me and dad to share hunts out of. I have to get the new feeder set up and have the mounting post all made, hopefully the ground will be thawed enough for me to dig the hole for it. I also have the new .204 ruger that I plan on fine tuning a hand load for it, never found the right one last summer. As far non hunting is concerned, I may plan on going back up to the Maumee river for the walleye run. Have done it some and its alot of fun. As far as non hunting is concerned I am currently in a welding class for AWS certification. I have my stick welding down and am currently working on TIG welding aluminum and stainless. I am really surprised at how fun the TIG is. Hopefully if all my ducks line up just right I will have a Vortex by my birthday and that will consume my summer until deer season gets here! So what are all your plans for the off season? The only one I can think of is all the work ranger has to do on his porch. Anyone one else have any plans?
