It’s 150% happening this year for all who are wondering. Shooting for January 3rd week or so.
See some deer with my son by my side and lay one or two down.
Have fun
Shoot more deer
Shoot more birds
Take more pictures
Make more memories

Be thankful in everything.
Be safe.
Fill the freezer.
Enjoy any time I am able to spend in the woods.
No particular order. All equally important. I think this is a great place for me to be this year.

Don't have many goals for myself, but the main one is to get the kids on some deer and teach them more about the outdoors even tho they know more than some grown men I know. About the only goal I have for myself is to shoot a good buck in ky.
Continue some ground attack, but get my kids in trees early season. Get life to slow down while my family is in the woods and take it all in. Id like my middle daughter to get a chance at her 1st.
Today I added another weapon to my arsenal to help me in my ground attack when I’m not hunting from a tree stand. I’ve wanted a ghillie suit for quite awhile and today I finally pulled the trigger. Here is a pic of the one I ordered. Color is desert(hoping it blends better after leaves turn and drop and late winter.
Mainly crossbow but it might have an orange vest on it come deer gun, maybe even a no hunting sign also! Lol
Those signs aways have bullet holes!Mainly crossbow but it might have an orange vest on it come deer gun, maybe even a no hunting sign also! Lol
Kill... I'm just gonna murder cervids and eat good.

Hunt smarter, keep the freezer full and try some new chunks of public.
O damn, fug off work! They are calling already. Biggest goal is to make it to Christmas or until the freezer is stuffed, NOT working for the man!!!

How to Make Deer Hunting Not Fun
I remember my low point well. I was heading west on I-80, hot cup of coffee in hand, with seven days of chasing Iowa whitetails in my rearview mirror and another week of the rut ahead in Nebraska. If you’d asked me a decade prior how that sounded, I’d have told you it was an absolute dream come...

After retirement, I realized that I can spend every hour of the hunting season on stand….last year I was burned out by early January but still forced myself to hunt every day all the way through the end of the season…I hated it. I had the feeling that I was letting myself down by not going but realized that I need to hunt when I want to and not feel obligated to go every single day. When I was younger, I would hunt every chance I would get but always had work to force myself to take breaks from hunting. I need to find some way to regulate how many days per week I hunt in order to avoid burning out again. Good article Chuck.Good article:

Moderation is everything George - Good stuff with both your and Big Holla's posts above.
Hmmmm, 22-23.
With the first grandchild on the way, I'm gonna try to get my son and DIL up to hunt for meat during one of the gun seasons / both work FT. If we can drop 3-4 deer, no restrictions other than no small bucks, spike or forks, we can fill their freezer in a 3 day weekend for the year. That would be great and 'may' start an annual family hunting thing. Nothing could make me happier as it would realize the blood, sweat and investment I've made in the farm since I took it over 9 years ago.
