Take my first deer with a bow. Hopefully two big does to fill the freezer.

Shooting 4-5 times a week. 15 shot sets.

Headed to the lease next weekend to put up another feeder, camera and hang a new set in a new location that has little to no hunting pressure. Also, going to scope out both places to plant two food plots. They're going to be cheap. Probably just turnips. This is my first year for plots in Texas.

Cant Wait!

What are your goals this year? Shoot more a deer with bow - last year I committed to shooting hogs if they showed up and only had opportunity on 2 deer and did not take them. still plan to shoot hogs but looking for a deer opp and may be less selective.

What have you done so far to prepare? checked bow stands, re-tightened them, climbed in and did some select trimming, refreshed mineral lick and installed trail camera last weekend.

What are you going to do in the near future? (stands, plots, etc..) monitor cameras and start shooting. two weeks before season will pull cameras and not go back till opening morning

Where ya hunting? St. Francisville, off of Sligo Road

What ya shooting? Diamond Bow - 2010 and the model escapes me but still very reliable, G5 broadheads

This one is going to be rough.

I had shoulder replacement surgery in late December. While it feels great compared with before I am dreading pulling my bow back to start shooting for the season. Been looking at it sitting in the corner calling my name for over a week now.
Guess I'll give it a try this wknd. Should be fun.

Practice some more.
