Is it Bow Season yet?



I have been gearing up for what seems like 3 years for this deer season! I couldn’t tell you how many times I have worried my wife to death about getting this or I need that for the hunts this year. I’m worried she might take me out with my bow if I don’t quite HA. I am very much a person who goes full force into something and I want to be the best at it! Once a good family friend (Snuffy) gave me a bow to use for the year it was downhill from there on all the things I would start to pick up for opening day of archery season.



I have tried to shot at least 3 times a week since getting the bow making sure that I would be able to dot an i at 50 yards. I have picked up a brand new block target that I setup in our back yard. The Mrs. thinks that the neighbors either think I’m crazy or they are afraid to come outside anymore because they never are in their back yards. I am not going to lie I feel pretty confident going into my first bow season. I have also been watching a lot of the outdoor channel trying to pick up tips and see how it’s done. Honestly I'm really just worried that when I do get my first deer with a bow that I might pass out from excitement. For the first time this year I will also have my own trail cam from Wildgame Innovations, I am not 100% where to place this thing so any suggestions would definitely be welcome. I also picked up some of Wildgames attractants, hoping that I would be able to at least get some deer to my food plot and tree stand. 


Last on my list were the accessories for in the stand as you can see I got a bow hanger and an additional smaller hanger to put bags, calls, rangefinder. Not really sure what I’ll need it for but I figure better safe than sorry. I most recently got my two best purchases and from what all I can tell these two are must haves from everything that I have read and seen on shows. I was able to pick up a Bushnell rangefinder Chuck Adams edition. It was on sale and I jumped all over it. This thing has the arch technology in it that automatically calculates the difference than line of sight and the height that you are at in the tree. This way you get an accurate reading on your target, thus if you miss it’s all on you! My second purchase was a great deal that I found at a wholesaler. I found a Tree Spider speed harness and tree strap for about 75% off. As you can see in the picture I was super excited and tried it on in the middle of the aisle with everyone around. (I was not going to put it down so someone could get it before me) So needless to say every day that passes all I can say is when will bow season be here?? 






Ill be back later with all the adventures from the weekend setting up tree stand and the dove hunt. If you have any suggestions or comments about bow hunting please fill free to share.
