That hog hunting is a lot of fun that is for sure.

I shoot in my yard every day and try and take the kids to the fields to shoot.I like to get them used to the field.Other than that I fish and coach T-ball and baseball,and do what my wife tells me to do     .How long till hunting season?   :eek:    

There is no off season... LOL

Shoot in our league, then Spring Turkey season... Next comes more hunting prep in my 3D course at home. Scouting, building blinds and hanging stands. Think about "plan B" and change, build more...  Walking in detail new ground and trying to gain access to more private close to home ground. Getting ready for out of state bow-trips.  This never ends... There is not a single day that I do not do something or think about something related to bowhunting..  Yeah, this is the life.

Sept-Feb Deer, upland game, water fowel, trapping

April-August scout, bowfish, hike, train the puppy

Year round keep them beetles fed with everything i kill...nothing goes to waste.

As long as there are feral hogs in Texas, I have no off season

Target practice, occasional groundhog hunting and a fair amount of fly fishing.

It really should be no secret to anyone what I do in the off season.  I buy, sell and trade bows!

I shoot, tune, shoot, shoot and shoot some more. I stump shoot, work on my permanent blinds, coach 4H Archery with the kids in this program 9-18 years old. I also build bows called warfs, etc, off older compound risers, put recurve limbs on them. I do this because I often find older broken compounds at junk sales for $10 or less, and add a economical $60 Samick limbs, with a little machining, and tuning make serviceable entry level bow, and the compound riser feels familiar to a new trad shooter, helps in the transition. Deer hunting and turkey hunting here in KY is 4 months in the fall, 3 weeks in the spring. I also do a lot of varmint hunting, coyote, fox, crow and woodchuck on farmers locally, gives me more acces to deer hunting when I help remove problem annimals. The rest of the time I spend eating what we kill, kill it and grill it, make bratwurst, summersausage, jerky.

I ride this as much as possible...I have her loaded up with my bow and arrows in the parking lot as we speak...heading to Whittingham in an hour    

When I am not cycling or kayaking, I shoot in the yard.

Nise GS you have there Tim.

It gets real hot and hummid here in the swamp. I worry abot my recurves when the power goes out and the house heats up. I take a beater bow and bowfish and try to stay cool in the ocean. Rod and reel fishing is good, make up arrows and drink beer while I wait for the cool season. Airconditioning is a gift from above.

I shoot about every day.  I have tennis balls scattered around the yard, 3 1/2 acres, and I shoot judos and bludgeons at them.  I am improving.  I've been at the trad thing for about a year now and just in the last few weeks am seeing real improvement in my skills.  I am planning on a few 3d shoots.  For sure plan to do the McAllister Army Ammo Depot shoot this summer.

3-d and bowfishing   Try to keep shooting to when it is most important due to *@#!! tendinitis

The only off season for me is when I'm traveling. Neat thing about that, while I don't have my hunting bows, I am still at least teaching archery.

I start getting ready for the next season LOL

Make bows, make arrows, and shoot every chance I get. Since the end of the past season, I built my first take down recurve (don't shoot it worth a crap, but it sure is prurty) and I'm currently in the process of finishing up a longbow for a buddy.  My first experiment with adding a snakeskin backing.

look for lost arrows...

One word, BOWFISHING! Seriously, I haven't started yet cause the waters still too cold for the fish to be moving a whole lot, but man, around mid May/June, fishing should be awesome!

Off Season?.....Off Season???    

You mean there's an Off Season?              

Geeezz.....glad I don't live there!!!
