Hunting season preparations, what did you do today?

[Shangobango]

Today I spent a couple of hours with OnX and the MVUM’s for the National
Forest here pulled up on the laptop looking for the most isolated pockets where certain terrain features and habitat types come together. I have been spending so much time researching out of State areas I thought a little time was needed doing some e-scouting for spots closer to home.

My workouts for today will be swimming pool based followed up with as many weighted step ups as I can manage in the comfort of the A/C.

Heat index is 109....I am chomping at the bit to hike in to some of the more local spots I want to check out but like I said, the heat index is 109.

Me and the wife have been working out 5 times a week and we hiked 15 miles at total archery challenge over the weekend. (Which was a blast) Set some trail cams a few weeks ago and will go check/ move them this weekend. And just pouring over onX and Google earth.

I did my yoga, and went through my game camera pics. Going to get some cardio in soon and browse OnX! Go Team

Went to work, came home, made dinner, now in the recliner reading about you guys working out.

Over the past few days, replaced every nut and bolt with grade 8 hardware on some extra treestands I picked up at a yard sale. Eliminated the cables and replaced them with chains. Knocked off the rust with a grinding wheel and cup brush then primed and painted. Finished assembling them today. Grilling kabobs currently, then the gf and I will be out for a 5 or 6 mile hike afterwards.

I managed to get about 400 yards into a “hike” with my kids before the two-year-old melted down... But I secured limited-entry Wyoming HMA permits for my dad and me today, so that’s something.

I did a 300-mile scouting trip of a crane unit I put in for.
I even saw some crane.

Spewed a little root beer to that...

Kept working on getting my basement remodel done before hunting season starts, so I can go hunting...

OK, to be honest, I opened an envelope that had my muzzle loader deer permit in it. Still waiting for my 2 firearm permits. Yep, use the muzzy for them as well. Archery tags are over the counter. So, sit in my ladder stand bow hunting. Strenuous part is climbing up. ATV and Jet Sled haul deer out. Muzzy hunts are bang, flop. Get ATV.

ASSUMING we still go back to Alaska next month, I have a shotgun, .22 rifle and fishing poles lined up for use. Hope to find some fish, and will try to do some "ground-sluicing" on some grouse.

There, is that better?

Walked a few miles in this summer heat. Thought my new arrows were going to be here today so I could start setting them up. Apparently not. Maybe they'll come tomorrow.

I wanted chocolate chunk cookies but did the healthy thing and got oatmeal cranberry instead.

If I spend another minute looking at onx I might puke.

Keep hammering.

 

[Big Bore]

5 mile hike with my weighted daypack at daybreak, otherwise hell arrives about 10:00 am and then you have to stay inside.

Total archery challenge all weekend and back to climbing trees in the high nineties this week!

Same as @LuketheDog, I’ve been working on my house all day.

Flexed my internet muscle. Droppin' knowledge bombs. Escouted the Sierra Club Instagram for my next trophy. Got my teeth whitening done and perfected my bow shooting selfie angle. Worked up a list of Hashtags. #Elkhunting is getting me killer traffic on my gym shots. Jerks ran me out shouting "#DYEL?" Made sure my brim was straight and the hat fit just right covering the tips of my ears.

Hollered at my mom to get the Meatloaf ready because I gotta go polish my low profile mudder wheels on my straight pipe coal rollin' Dodge. Hope you like my new haircut.

 

[Buffs35]

OnX, scout to confim, watch old episodes of Randy, try an assortment of new beers to see what will be opened after a successful hunt.

I kicked the ten branch antlered bulls out of the yard then halfway through the news I went out and threw firecrackers at the cows and calves that showed up.

I took my 6 month physical came back home and cleaned the back of my pickup and stock trailer.
