I've recently been diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis, which so far means a couple sores and aching knees and hands. The hands I can deal with, but you all know how important knees are this time of year! I've been scouting a good deal and my knees feel ok while I'm going, but are really stiff in...
Not sure about wiring, but my trekking pole grips mist be delicious. This is the result of a ruthless attack on our last bivy trip. Thank god our poles smelled better than us!
I'm starting to figure out tactics for spot and stalk. (I think) I know what types of places to camp in, where and when to glass, etc.
I'm blessed to live in a part of montana with plenty of open country to hunt, and I look forward to long glassing sessions. I also have a short attention span...

My buddy and I sneaked up on a bedded whitetail buck this weekend. We were probably only 15 yards from him. If we can keep making stalks like that, we should be in for some short ones this year!
I'm hunting with 5 or 6 different new or first-time hunters this year. They are all of the mindset of filling the freezer, doe or buck. I think I'm more excited for their hunts where we are trying to fill tags as opposed to some I have planned for myself, looking for a big one.
