RE: Who else is trying something new this year?
I'm going to try hunting out of a pit. I dug a hole in the ground and made a "pit blind" in a place where there is noplace to put a stand. It's kind of a box blind underground. I left the natural cover around it. I dug a shelf where I can sitand the only thing peeking over ground levelare my eyes. All I have to do is draw and stand at the right time. It's situated in an elevated place where I can see the deer coming well ahead of time. Should be interesting to see what happens.
I'm also NOT ....... I repeat NOT overhunting my honey holes.
I've plotted entry/exit routes for every stand in every wind condition for both afternoon and morning hunts and I will stick to it no matter how far out of the way it is.
I'm going to trust my intuition more than logic this year. Seems like it usually pays off for me. Not sure why I fight myself sometimes with what I "feel" rather than what I "should" do.
