I intend on buying another gorilla king kong, and some more climbing sticks. I like hunting from my climber and actually have two (I leave one up). I have my mind made up to buy a hoyt vtec and some more climbing sticks. the screw in steps are a bit of a bother. don't know what else I 'need'. eastern sportsman's show will hopefully help remedy that.

I will also be planting a food plot behind my house and putting out some mineral blocks.

I've gotten a few things already for next year. Pair of steiner compact binos andsome lone wolf tree sticks. There's a few more things I'll be needing by next fall, more arrows and some odds and ends for my elk trip in september.

So far I have purchased a new Summit Viper X5. Im looking at buying some lockons but I cant seem to find one I really like. I keep hearing so much about the new Bowtechs and would love to shoot one, but there are no dealers in my area. I take that back there is one about 40 mi from me but they dont keep them in stock. According to Huntersfriend I qualify for the Bowtech in the Boonies program but I hate to buy something that I cant shoot.

Oh, and we also bought this little place for me to be able topractice from the deck and simulate shooting from a treestand:



Here's the patch of woods which separates us from one of the top-ranked golf courses in the state... and, yes, I've already found deer tracks in my yard!

i wish a house came with my hunting list of stuff i need to get...lol

RE: Gearing up for 06?
 

Perhaps a new set of camo pants and jacket. The ones I have are from 1990 and still in decent shape. But, maybe a midsummer present to myself.

The real thing I am gearing up for in 2006 is to exercise more and get in better shape. I could stand to drop 10-20 pounds before next season!

Buckeye,

What lock on stands did you buy?

RE: Gearing up for 06?
 

Razorbacks, they are pretty nice. The 24X30 inch platform is why I buy these. I had 5 of them already but one got stole this year. Nothing like replacing something you already had :eek:
