Only 4 months to go. Archery season starts here on Sept 1. Need to get a new target as mine has rotted out. Need to start practicing.

I hear ya.  I 've been practicing a couple times a week at the shooting range. I went bowhunting for javelina last weekend, but suprisingly no animal was seen. Usually after throwing corn , these critters come out and feed after 10 minutes. It must have been the full moon. They most probably ate the whole night. I'll try again next weekend. Buff |

Just over 2 months to go. Soon it will be time to go out to the blind and put on some fresh branches and twigs(camaflauge). Might also need a few minor alterations ;D.

Nope. Trees where I hunt aren't suitable for a tree stand. Mine is built on a small hill which is about 6 feet above a couple of game trails. It's one 4 x 4 posts and about 9 feet about the ground, giving me about 15 feet total above the deer. It's 6 x 6 squage and surrounded by poultry wire into which I weave branches with leave for camo. Here a picture from last years camo job.  |

There's two. The one under the ladder is my wife, ready to catch me if I fall ;D. My son is on the right and his better half on the left. Note how they're staying out of the way incase I fall ;D ;D
