Default Anyone trying something "new" this year?

Anybody here that has said to yourself, after thinking about it for awhile..."Ok, this is the year I am going to try this"....And what is it that you guys are going to try for the first time?

Me, I went out and bought a good camcorder, video editing softwareand a Hunter Cam Cradle, and try and video some of mine and my friends hunts, just for fun.

I'm shooting lower poundage this year. I don't need to shoot 70#.

I get the same speeds at 60# that I did at 70# with the same arrow.

I went up 10# in draw weight and I'm shooting the same gr. arrow 50 fps faster. I'm also networking with a new group of hunters thanks to HNI!

After watching Dan's dvd I will be focusing more time in areas that big bucks will be in during the light of day. In the past I believe I was setting up too far away from their bedding areas. I will continue to hone my tracking skills with the rifle. I will be more agressive during the rut.
I don't know if it will put more deer down but I will have a heck of a lot more fun!

I'll be shooting a new bow and a new arrow.

First time since 04 I've not had an Allegiance at my beckon, but I am that confident with the 82nd.

I now own a pair of them!!

Nothing brand new but it's still new to me. I'm going to continue focusing on rublines. I'm starting to get it figured out enough that it is worth my attention and focus.
