Well, it's probably a month before I get to do any hunting, but I bought my Illinois archery deer and turkey tags so it feels like the season starts now.
Here's a little run down of my plans:
I have a lead on a new place to possibly do some September Canada goose hunting, which would be a treat. I've been trying to get a buddy into goose hunting and he's finally come around to the idea, which is good since it is hid brother who has the pond I'm hoping to hunt. We'll see if that works out.
I'm going to try to get out in early October to a new public hunting area in hopes of getting to know the turkey population and patterns. I don't have high hopes for putting an arrow in a turkey, but there is a shotgun season in late October that I should be able to hunt that same piece of public.
In late October and early November I hope to get back to that same piece of property I took my buck on last year. My relationship with the guy who has the permission is a little tenuous, he'll probably let me go out, but I am sure he won't confirm that until the week of. Which is part of the reason I am spending time in the early season at that public piece. If I get to know that well enough I might just spend the rest of my season out there. It's a little further drive, but I think it should be good in terms of turkey numbers and deer habitat.
Hopefully in December I will get a chance to do some duck and geese hunting in with my buddy Chris.
This year there is a twist, I will be going to Hawaii for the week of Christmas. I usually try to go out with my bow on my birthday Dec. 28th, but I don't think I'll be taking my bow to Hawaii. HOWEVER, I might treat myself to spear fishing.
All in all, I will have some adventures and I will share them here.
