It's getting closer!!!!

[xbowholic]

Starting to get all of my stuff gathered and seeing what needs to be added; season starts less than 70 days and getting here fast; excaliburs are ready (as always) but seeing what I need in other areas;

My question is, what do ya'll get ready besides your excaliburs? tell of your list because you might have something on there that I don't; plus would like to see what hunters uses in different locations around the globe;

So list all, clothes, boots, knifes, hats, and whatever you use period; let's start a list for all to see and exchange some ideals; thank you.

The NC regulations haven't been sent out yet but it opens somewhere around the second week of Sept.
I'm still excited about getting to archery hunt with the Vortex this year. This will be the first time I've archery hunted in at least 20 years. The last time was with a Hoyt Pro Hunter v-bow.
I'm still practicing with the Vortex shooting Spitfires and Slick Tricks. Still trying to decide on which one to try first. Set up and tore down the pop up a few times. Put out the trail camera and keeping a check on it. Looking over a couple ladder stands making sure they're ok. I'm getting familiar with a new hang on stand and sticks.( Gonna make the seat bigger for all day hunting comfort) Made a hoist/pulley to pull up the hang-on. Checking my safety harness, lifelines and prussic loops. Got new refills for the Thermocell. Playing with the rangefinder. Got the food plot ready for fall planting.

It's been hot as crap here too and I don't get out til late evening but I guess that's good in a way so all the preparation is not done so quick.

I spend nine months just waiting for those three of deer season so much to do that im never fully prepared. The biggest thing for me is making sure the excal is hitting bullseyes with my broadheads all the way to 50 yards.

I'm very lucky for where I live I can leave on my 4 whl right from the door. As such I have a hunting box( old plastic tool box) that I throw on the 4 whl when I leave.
I keep most stuff stored in my 4 whl at all times, axe, ropes, lighters, firestarter, gps, ropes, knifes, tools, flashlites,bugspray( very important) in my hunting box, amo, binos, license and tags, gloves, and all things required to get what I hunt that day.

[j.krug]

My list of stuff is too long to remember it all and list it here. I can say though that I am ready for the next season 1 week after the current season ends. I clean and inspect all my gear and put it away in bins so it is ready to go. I have a separate bin for hunting clothes, turkey accessories, deer accessories, water fowl accessories, camping equipment and so on. Just before deer season all I have to do is freshen up my camo and load up my pack with the hunting gear I need and I'm good to go. This years tags have been ordered already so now I just watch the calender and wait!!

[Onetimeonly x-->]

I think one of the most important things to
remember is, to let someone know which stand
or location your planning to hunt that morning
or evening. If I don't show up at a certain time
or they don't here from me. I want someone to
come looking for me! You never know what just
might happen? You could be hurt. And I hope
everyone has a safe and successful season!!

[Hazmat]

I have my game camera's out and check them monthly
Salt licks in place
I have my electronic's (range finder, flashlights) ready with new batterie;s
knifes are sharpened
getting my clothes ready (scent free soap) and cover scents!
I put my tree stand's up one week before bow season (for security)
Already day dreaming of where to hunt according to wind and morning or night spots!!!
