man im already excited to start planting food plots, and get back to bowhunting. anybody else already pumped????

If you'd asked me that any other time in the previous 10 years, I would have undoubtedly answered rather quickly in the affirmative... This year is different, though; I hunted SO hard and SO much that I'm just NOW recovering a bit from burnout.

I'll probably concentrate my efforts a bit more this coming year and hunt a bit smarter, and then December will give way to predator trapping for me this year so I don't think I'll have to worry about that as much this coming season.

how was your season this year??
im just excited to hunt september and october when im not freezing my ass off

No, I was ready for a break. I'm starting the shed hunting this weekend, after that its mushroom hunting, turkey hunting, maybe a little fishing. I'll start getting the bug again around July to start glassing for some bucks.

Yes, I sit in a dark room all day, shaking uncontrollably waiting for September.

I have been doing a bunch of shed hunting/scouting. Getting some ideas for new stand locations and moving some stand locations. I am always excited to get my plots in, I enjoy doing that. I will try to have all the stands in and early plots completed by the end of May (I hate hanging stands when it is hot). I will spend a bunch of time during the summer glassing fields while drinking a cold beer, but very little walking. Around the first of Sept I will get my late plots in and then sit back and wait for the middle of Oct to roll around.

im excited for deer a little more than turkey at the moment and i dont know why though............

Depends on what perspective you're looking at it from... I put eight does down this year, and the freezer's packed... gave one to my parents and another to our best friends, so it was good from a meat perspective -- but I didn't see a buck I felt like dumping the string on. Tough season, and that added to the way I felt at the end of the year.

hey man at least you got 8 does!!!

im jacked for bowhunting all together. got my first tukey tag, a whole summer of hunting critters and birds, musky fishing, figuring out what i cna grow for a plot in northen MN that deer eat. then bow hunting. i cant wait for that snow to melt.
