Changes for 09'

RE: Changes for 09'
1. I'm going to add a rangefinder to my arsenal.
2. I'm going to take what I learned last year and put to use this year. Basically, I'm going to hunt smarter because of the knowledge I gathered this year.
3. I'm going to continue my deer journal. I just read some excerpts that I wrote this past year that I totally forgot about. I think it is a very good tool to use and it's fun to look back on your hunts.

1 More time with trad gear.
2 Upping my head weight to 125gr going back to fixed heads after a year of Rage.(compound)
3 Shooting feathers rather than Blazers (for greater FOC along with upping head weight)(compound)
4 Shooting heavier arrows out of both bows
5 hanging more stands for better opportunities and varying winds
6 building more and better ground blinds during the off season to increase my odds with the longbow.

1. Travel More.
2. Worry and Second Guess and Doubt LESS for my sets around home
3. Pick back up a farm I lost this past season
4. Im not going to hunt every waking moment sept-oct like last year, by the time I killed my buck I was beginning to somewhat become burnt out. I would have continued until now if need be to get my buck, but I am glad I got him when I did. I probably won't hunt much this September unless I have a bachelor group patterned early on....or I want to whack a doe or two for meat one weekend....I don't doe hunt in the areas I buck hunt though.
5. Hunt EVERY available moment at my November honey hole during the rut, and leave it untouched otherwise.
Gear wise, I am not picking up much for whitetail hunting. I hope to add a millenium hang on and extra receivers to my arsenal, so I can switch it up by only leaving out stick ladders. I also want to pick up a Covert II trail cam or two, they are simply amazing.....
