Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Plans for next deer season?

Are you hunting the same place, getting a new lease? Are you going to build more stands, cut out brush to see better. I need to build an angle iron frame for this stand I built to hunt with my grandsons. It’s gonna have 3 foot legs. My other stands are 20’ towers, afraid to get a 5 year old that high. They are only 4x4 anyway. This one has glass windows and is insulated with foam board.

Hunted a new piece of ground owned by parishioners this year. Sat for two afternoons, filled both of our tags from the same ground blind. Had 4.5 and 9 y/o kids with us in the ground blind. Fully intend to setup the same blind in the same place next December.

I plan on adding a couple more stands on my place. Am trying to get access to a couple of other places, one out of state.

going to build a new stand on the other side of my property and open up a food plot some more which involves allot of brush cutting

Same as last year. Go to my brother's cabin in SE Ohio. Eat really good----Stuffed homemade cabbage rolls & Isaly's chipped ham sandwiches---play lots of euchre. How the public water shed---usually sit at the same tree--- a few deer will run by & the 870 will bark. Doesn't get any better.

Gonna hunt the same 150 acre tract as I have in the past. Although I did just pick up two new Rhino ground blinds (Amazon - $55 each!) which will allow me to hunt in two additional spots on that property.

CO, Iowa, KS are currently in the plans.

Apply for a hard to get tag, if I draw great, if not hunt an easy to get tag. Hopefully up around 9k-10k with my bow and rifle.

Have enough points I should get a CO tag this year. Aside from that I’ll be out in the hills sitting on a rock watching for a bruiser like usual.

Keep eyeing the Walmarts for close out stands.

One year i bought a couple buddy type stands for $60 ea.

Once upon a time it was cheap to build a plywood stand, not anymore

Not much new coming down the tube here... been down to my last spot for several years after the others got sold off. Can't justify spending 4 figures to lease a local spot for 7 days of season on my budget.

No plan to add land unless a specific 40 comes up for sale at a good price.

Probably add 1 new stand as we're logging off a chunk of the back area and I'd like to get high and cover all of that with 1 or 2 guys.

Get to hunt more with my son.

Bout it.

I need to find a new lease

Killem, cookem, eatum.

Same place, my 80 and my neighbor's 500 acres.

I have been invited to hunt SD this coming season on a friend's 3000 acre family ranch, but I've also signed on for a possible OTC CO Elk hunt in OCT.

I'm going to move one blind next fall and change one of my food plots to a spring/summer plot this spring. Other than that I've got enough work ahead of me keeping my oak seedlings and chestnut trees alive this coming summer, especially if this drought doesn't lift.

Looking for a new lease. I got off mine in Val Verde County after the end of the season. It got too expensive and all I was killing was hogs. Damned things were running rampant all over the ranch. It affected the deer hunting for sure. I killed decent 9, but the ranch capable of much better. Feeding corn and protein all year didn't seem to help much though. Other than having fat hogs...

Hunt more

Going to build a blind for evening hunting scenarios haven’t picked the spot yet

Friend whose land I hunt on wants to do some food plots this year as opposed to just feeders and get things a little better figured out. Having a certain amount of experience with that stuff, I look forward to helping him. I will also be putting in for some draw hunts on wildlife management areas. I didn't get anything but preference points this season past, got drawn for 2 last year. Also hoping for at least a week trip to Northern New York and/or one to Missouri which I'd planned on last fall but never made it.
