RE: What Do You do in the Off Season?
In the spring I turkey, bear, and varmint hunt. I take the kids out to see the wildlife that has been concentrated by the winter snows. We also look for shed horns and mushroom hunt. Come summer we hit the rivers and the high country, which is a plus with Idaho when temperatures soar, you can head down to cool water or up to higher elevations to beat the heat. Trout fishing road trips to many of our rivers up north is one of my favorite pastimes, but with gas prices those trips may be few and far between. We camp allot from now until hunting season, most summers we spend almost every weekend in the woods, great to get away from the phone, and good for the kids. If you want to see our trips from last summer go to my blog.
Rednecks on our St. Joe trip. Nothing like early mornings on an Idaho Mountain stream in the Summer.

I go to the range more on off season. I also at that time try different brands of ammo and see what groups best at 100 to 200 yards.
I have also taken up hunting feral hogs. I been out 7 times and never seen one. But you can see all the rooting done. Thats where I sit up to hunt. Guess hogs are not as routine as a whitetail. Seems they root in different areas.

I don't know about the rest of you, but there is ALWAYS something to do other than hunt. I work, have a family, and have many other responsibilities so hunting has to work itself around those activities which take priority. We shouldn't just wish our lives away waiting for the next deer season to roll around. There are tons of different ways one could occupy their time. Hunting should NOT be the only one.
