Hunting season preparations, what did you do today?

[LuketheDog]

geez. nice. considering your location, how many people did you have to deal that had endless questions about the head on his back?

Haha, a LOT. We did two trips to get everything out and were only on the main trail for ~1/2 a mile each way so not too much exposure, but man did we get some eyeballs from a few Karens, I wish they didn't have facemasks on so we could've seen their entire facial expressions! We did have a couple good interactions though, one dude said to my buddy "THAT must be the COOLEST backpack on the whole mountain today!"

It’s just hard to get 3kft+ of elevation gain in the second flattest state in the country.

Went for a run, confirmed my broadhead tuning, then gave the black guns some love on steel.

 

[Tradewind]

Ran a race today. Didn't finish last. progress

 

[Rancho Loco]

Not today, but I scheduled an MRI for my shoulder yesterday, sounds like the rotator cuff decided to give me a big FU. Archery season over before it starts. Maybe I can stand some rifle recoil by turkey day.

 

[Wildabeest]

Drove to Montana for a few days of scouting. Saw a nice muley buck on the road up to the cabin.

 

[MTelkHuntress]

Found a fresh rub today. I'm both extremely nervous and very excited.

You probably can’t even fathom me putting on an 11-46t cassette and 28t chainring.

Good luck with the MRI. I feel your pain.

Idk what that means but it sounds cool.

The MRI is just a formality. I'm pretty sure archery and rifle are washed out, I can't imagine holding a heavy kicker against my cut up shoulder, I'm pretty much just hoping to get on skis by Xmas. Maybe a shoulder season cow elk (I'll whisper when I say that).

It means it’s geared like a 46 Willy’s Jeep.

4 mile hike with the wife. Breaking in some new Schnees Beartooths.

I went 10-50 and a 30, probably for the same reasin!

 

[1100RemingtonMan]

Hike 7 miles around Devils Lake north to Madison WI and it took 3 hours total or 2:40 moving time. We stopped on the south beach for a drink of water and rest.

I watched the kids while my wife went to brunch.....all day long. That should earn me an extra day or two in the woods.

Tomorrow, we're headed to check cameras as a family. I'm excited to let the half-lings run and climb on big rocks.

 

[EWO]

Scoured Google Earth and OnX again. Located back up plan campsites. Finding a good campsite is probably one of my biggest priorities! I like to find a spot where I can hunt from the truck in every direction.

I walked my fence line and checked my pasture. There was a nice 6 pt bull asleep on the ridge as I worked my way to the top.

Since I finally finished haying, I took the time to walk a critical access trail to see if I needed to bring a pack horse to cut it out. I have about 20-30 trees to cut out in about 2 miles. I'll take a horse. After--- it cools down a bit. A little too dry for sawing just yet.

Iced my shoulder after shooting 26 rounds of 300wm.

I'm flinching just thinking about it!
