Going Crazy for the next 4 months as I wait for hunting!
I did get some new Simmons Land Sharks in the mail 125gr with beeders. I sharpend them plus two knives good to shave last night. Very pleased with them :thumbsup:
Thinking about taking a Sunday drive tomorrow to have a look at some public ground about an hour south of me I might want to hunt/camp on early season.
Anything to help pass the time!

Caught 14 brown trout this morning, with the biggest being a heavy 18". Saw a deer while fishing, so I went home and finished the handle on my newest Big River 21st Century style longbow. Just finished putting Barge cement on it and shooting it. Turned out great. Can't wait for the season. Maybe a new fletch color combo this year to go with the new bow and the new Treesharks that I'm practicing sharpening.

Planting food plots, re-stocking mineral sites, scouting, cleaning up trails, cutting fire wood, etc. The list is endless. Lol. I also try to squeeze some stumping in with my practice, and maybe do a little fishing.

Just sitting around waiting to get THIS DANG BOOT off my left foot. Two more weeks, hopefully. It's been a month so far and it's driving me absolutely batty.
My foot was hurting for months and finally went to the doctor. I apparently have a stress fracture in the ball of my foot. Have no idea how it happened. Had to cancel the second weekend of turkey season.
I'm taking it easy mainly so it will heal so I can start getting in Colorado shape. Otherwise CO won't happen this year.

Just made a squirrel call today. I found the design in an old book and wanted to try it out. Works well.

With the rain we have gotten I have to mow the range on the south side of my place every week for the 4H archery meetings here at the house. That and some 3D practice on the north side of the house in the evening. There's a 3D shoot in Topeka next weekend and I've had that time off scheduled for a couple months now.
Shift work and daughter's activities fill out the rest of the time...
