What are you going to do different this year?

[Rob W.]

What part of your gear, scouting, shooting, blind/treestand placement or location do you plan on changing for the better?

New Palmer Classic recurve!  

[2treks]

Hunting from the ground like my man Rob!

[ALwoodsman]

I have several new things going on this year.  Earlier in the year I made the switch from split finger to 3 under.  Finally after a few months I believe it is going to pay off.  My shooting seems to have gotten better.  I also got in a club that has 6000 acres.  This is a lot of new land to roam around on.  I am sure it will be an interesting season this year!

If I ever get my ghillie done, I will be using it!

[juneaulongbow]

Build and hunt out of a ground blind... hopefully in the next month or so.

[archeryx]

Ditch the wheels completely.......for the whole season this time.

That's a big step for me. Wish me luck. Haha

[dhermon85]

Don't miss this time and harvest a whitetail.

[southernwoody]

Use trail cams to maximize my hunting efforts.

#1 Will only shoot Black Widow recurves from this day forward, they're the best, brand loyalty to my MO friends.
#2 I think my stands need to be a little higher, not crazy about heights but it might help me see some deer that might have unbeknownst to me been busting me.
#3 Stop over hunting spots, get off the home place & hunt some new spots, even if that means camping alone. Not that afraid of the boggie man anyhow.

More campfires with friends!

[J. Holden]

This will be my sons first year bowhunting with me.  Can't wait!

Try not to set up in the places where the critters ain't.

[BUCKY]

Way up on the ridge with my new bow. I used to hunt the middle of the ridge but this year I'm getting away from everyone and going far up. I hunt public land.

[Stumpkiller]

I have a new ladder stand (never had a store-bought ladder stand!) and have just placed it in an area I scouted last year that showed good deer activity.

[tradarcher816]

I'm hoping to break my streak of bad luck and bring one down with the widow this year.

[cahaba]

Spend more time in the woods with my longbow. I may not pick up a gun this year either.

[Sam McMichael]

1. Hunt more from the ground, especially since my back went out while on the tractor this morning and I can't sit or stand comfortably as I type this.
2. Not to again miss the same deer from the same stand, standing in the same place on 2 separate days
3.Rely more on natural camo (plaids, etc.) and less on commercial camo.
4.Get blood on my Hill Cheetah.

[Fletcher]

Hunting this fall with a 1960 Bear Grizzly and some period Razorheads.  If I make it work, it will be the oldest bow I've shot anything with.  Might plant a fall food plot, too.

[awbowman]

Getting more mobile.  Last year our little group of 5 killed 8 deer,  Only one from an old permanent stand.

I have a timbertall climber, a millinium loc-on with three blocks and sets of sticks, and a Gorilla silverback scout with LW sticks for the long treks.
