What to do in the off-season?
I am dreading the thought of the season coming to an end. But before the shed hunting starts and all that fun stuff. How do you guys spend your time?
I am thinking about getting lighter arrows and a different site and practicing shooting my long range shooting. I would just like to get the most speed out of my bow. I am sure I will have many questions to come about all that good stuff.
Would it be possible to make my own arrow starting with a bare shaft then fletch it and all that good stuff myself? How much would you think I would spend to have a top notch arrow?

I shoot my bows year round, but when deer season closes on Jan 6, I'll be doing something that I havn't been doing since deer season opened on Oct 7. I'll be spending my off days shooting my rifles and handguns. My land is my shooting range also and I havn't been shooting there since deer season commenced.

Every day is opening day .
Thats a bumper sticker hanging in our hunt camp
Seriously , practice most every day , and maybe go on a hog hunt in summer if I can stand the heat [not likely] . Season opens in August for deer in Florida , and its still too hot .

[/align]I also fish eire and ont.to get me though the year.I do everything I can to take more time off in the fall.That means I will work day and night and weekends so when hunting season gets here I may take up to 5 weeks off to go hunting.A few years back I started to rathole 10% of my earnings away.So when hunting season is here I still have an income to keep from getting to far behind on the bills.I am a selfemployed carpet installer and I dable in real estate investments[rentals].

Predator hunt late winter, going ice fishing with TeeJay this January, shoot bows year around, and of course lots of wind with the Harley. Plus I own an old huge 7 bedroom house that we are always remodeling. Question; you know the only thing that works in an old house? Answer; the owner.
