I like to prepare for the next season as soon as the season is over. Season went out here Thursday and me and the kids were out Friday morning scouting. I like to look for new stand locations and spots that i found during the season but didn't get the chance to hunt. If there's new shooting lanes to be cut now's the time to do it while the snakes and ticks are at bay and all the leaves are off the trees then i'll go back just before fall and do some trimming. I like to work on new loads in the off season and shoot every chance i get gun & bow. I think that at times i enjoy the preparation of hunting more than the hunt itself.
