I could have almost cut and paste one of Trevor's responses. I'm on my way in for one of my final sits of the year, but I definitely burned myself out a bit this year. I think I'm closing in on 130 sits on stand this year.

Next year, I think I won't go as much early on when the temps are marginal, and I'll switch to trapping in December. I'm already SUPER excited about putting up a bunch of fur next year!

Do you not like the Rage? I'd heard good things, and was considering using them.

1. replacing the hostage rest with a QAD dropaway
2. replacing my cabelas arrows with Trophy Ridge Hailfires
3. replacing the nocks with Tune-a-nock speed nocks

also shooting shorter lighter arrows and hopefully gaining around 15 fps or more.

I'm hoping to pick up a new pair of binos, probably need some new arrows by then and try to have more fun that this season, which could be hard to top, but I'm up to it!

Yep I had a bad experience, had good arrow placement at 8 yds on the biggest buck I have ever had in range. After that I dont know what happened, but I do know he isnt hanging up on my wall of fame.

Keep doing what I am doing and book more hunts out of state and afford to do it by staying single. I have EVERYTHING imaginable for bowhunting. Setting good that way.
Edit: Muzzy just reminded me I need a game cart.And I am building a Heater Body suit, maybe get a chrono..I just bought brand new digital Archery scale off of a guy on AT that sells them to your door for $19.00 so I can weigh arrows and broadheads.I already use A/C/C arrows and am going to buy their new prohunter or whatever it is called

I'm also considering selling the 7mm Rem Mag since I don't seem to need it for now and spending all of my time bow hunting with some shotgun hunting, if anyone might be interested.
