Seems like an eternity before bow season, but hey...it wil go by fast. Of course, does bow season really ever end. My off-season is jam packed with scouting and preparation. As long as I'm outdoors, I'm doing what I love most about the sport.

I've already got leads on mature bucks that made it through last season, so that's promising. I plan on doubling the number of treestands I put out last year. My winter scouting has given me several likely new locations. Of course, all is subject to change depending on activity in those areas throughout the spring and summer.

How about you guys? How's preseason coming along? Any new ideas or strategies for this coming season? It's never too early to start thinking about and planning for bow season!
