RE: Season Over , Now need Some Help !!!
I hear you Stickman! I went two years without a deer - hunting hard. I made some changes this season and shot four and recovered three(no big bucks though). Here is what I did...
switch to carbon arrows
got a lone wolf hang-on stand w/strap on steps - very portable
registered for a league (off season)
*hunted with a new bow hunting partner!
bought a decent bow
controlled my sent to the max
hunted many different spots
scouted more
practiced, practiced, practiced (w/3D target)
set up new stand spots
spent more time reading the hunting BBS
learned as much as I could about deer habits/behavior/patterns
*this made the biggest impact on my success
2004 was a great year, I learned so much, had some success, but most importantly I had an absolute blast. I'm ready to shoot the off season and can't wait for next September! I hope this helps..good luck with your next season...
