I spent some rehab time examining all the new ways of hunting. Decided to forego a lot of the new ways. No group hunting, no lease hunting with members, no fixed tripod condo hunting tree stand, no carry in of corn bait, no trail cam guarding a feeder.

No my rehabs have been walking and hiking and lifting weights. The spring will be for practice: archery and firearms. Fine tune my accuracy. Reloading and fletching on the side. Scouting trips before the season. Several hunt sites selected. An out of state hunt if the gas prices stabilize downward. A carry in and out of my climbing tree stand; my fitness.

No I'm to make it as simple as I can in this modern era. The endurance of the aging mountain man is what I want. Working on it every week, so far this year. The lone eagle; the mountain man.
