Zag Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 (edited) I have a lot on my list. 1) clear out a 2-3 acre clearing for a food plot 2) Expand and enhance their current bedding area to 8-10 acres. 3) Clear out competing trees around our oaks. They play such an important roll in our food source where our land is. 4) Try and revitalize the existing patch of thorn apple trees. 5) Fix up the cabin and try to mouse proof it (damn things)!! 6) Dig some culverts around some of our trails that were a sopping mess this past weekend. And grow im with you, im looking to build maybe an 8x8 enclosed stand. Equipped with bunk beds, some type of heat. I wanna take my son (will be 7 next yr) hunting with me more and i thought it would be cool to get in the night before spend the night and wake up hunting!! I gotta figure out a bathroom system though. Will see Edited December 18, 2014 by zag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wooly Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 I'd like to find a newbie or two to introduce to the sport..., or take a really crappy experienced hunter under my wing,lol. I probably wont even do any hunting/killing myself, but I would miss the preparation, scouting, seat time, and encounters, so I could never give up hunting without still being involved in those aspects of it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take me, Wooly... I'm experienced but I can be very CRAPPY.. I like to shoot stuff, and I am sure you would enjoy dressing them and dragging them out for me.. I have also been told that I am kinda CUTE.....<<wink>>..... Edited December 18, 2014 by Pygmy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylormike Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Well, my plans have changed. I was planning on picking up a 8N, single bottom plow and disc. I was going to put in my first food plot about 1/2 acre but now an opportunity has come up and am trying to acquire 25 additional acres. I will be adding two more Moultrie game cameras. I know one thing I won't be doing differently. Hunting the first two weeks of November. It will be my Brother and I fourths straight year we've hunted the first 2 weeks in November.

nyslowhand Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Make sure next year I'm in the right place, at the right time (God willing) to get an opportunity on a big, mature buck. Isn't that everyone's plan?? I'm getting a new lucky charm or mojo spell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Spend about ten times the amount of time I did this year scouting. Other than that, I want to find some good hunks of big public land to do some tracking. Either on tug hill or the southern Adirondacks. I enjoy tracking now and have had some success, I just need more room to roam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiefbkt Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 I'll also be doing a lot of arrow fletching. Got a smoking deal on GT Pro Hunter arrow shafts...$120 for 2 dozen, cut to length. These are my buddies arrows for our league. Still waiting for mine to come in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letinmfly Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 I haven't bowhunted in 5 years so next year I plan to get back into it. I've taken my best bucks with the bow and man do I miss it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MACHINIST Posted December 19, 2014 Author Share Posted December 19, 2014 I couldn't imagine not bowhunting!!! I love to get the gun out just as much as everyone but bowhunting I see way more deer and the weather is usually a little nicer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowtech2 Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 I'm going to put my first food plot in, hang my stands earlier this year, keep my cams up all year. Try to find property in PA and NJ for deer and bear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
covert Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Do more goose hunting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuntOrBeHunted Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 I really wish I would have grew a few smaller food plots in the thicker stuff gun and late season. I will be doing that next year for sure. And I noticed a few bucks that will be brutes next year and their sticking in the swamp lands so I need a few more stands in that area. Had a great year this year ended up tagging out so I won't complain. But always looking to improve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
