Try real hard not to over hunt the same spot. I have two new spots opening up and I need to mix it up some this year!

Not overhunt (or hunt at all) in my honey hole during the early season. Going to try to keep my stinky arse out of their untill prime time. Of course I say that every year and some magnetic force just lures me over there.

I have enough kills now to let the small ones walk. Last year I killed a spike. It was my first bow buck. Later in the year I killed a 7 point. I also killed a doe last year and 2 does the year before. Now I will continue to kill does, ( God willing), and I will hold out for a mature buck. No more spikes. A buck will have to match my 7 point or better.
I am also going to deer hunt with my recurve for the first time this year. That will sure be different!

I'm going to spend more time on the stand and try to hunt the wind... and quit being a wimp when the weather's bad.

I put a new sight on my bow and I added a half dozen or so new stands and I moved 3 or 4 of my old stands.

Honestly bring toilet paper I always seem to forget and cuts my hunts short.;)

The past couple of seasons I've been very consumed with a new house, new son, and school, so I'm hoping this season allows me to spend more time in the woods.

This year im wacking every doe that walks by me in the early season, for some reason last year i needed the meat, but i kept thinking that a doe was going to drag a buck by in sept and early october, come mid october ill let up on them alittle. Im also going to be alittle more aggressive with how i hunt. For example, last year i saw a deer that was atleast 3 and a half, could be 4 and a half, not sure yet, but i saw him 3 times, each time coming out of the same bedding area and would come within 40 yards of me. Instead of moving closer to the trail he was using i figured that he would come closer next time but he didnt, after 2 hunts i didnt see him again until i was in another stand and couldnt get a shot off at him cause he was in thick cover. This year if i see deer are using and frequenting a particular spot, im getting there quick before its too late and they move on.

Try and hunt my main places only when the wind is right, and not to try and scout new places during the season

Since my son wants to join me this year (he still has to wait another two years before he can hunt deer), I'll be hunting out of natural blinds. Below is a partially finished one with my son peeking through (picture taken at 10 yrds).
