RangerClay Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Now that bow season is over for most of us and we have had time to reflect. What changes are you going to make for next bow season? Me, I'm going to get a new quiver that holds 5 arrows. I've been threatening to do it. With more turkeys coming around I want an extra turkey broadhead in my quiver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUDRUNNER Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 I probably won't change a whole lot as far equipment goes. I did pick up a two man stand so that I can get my daughter out with me a few times next season. I'm also going to move some stands around a little more and spread them out. I think I tend to concentrate on one area too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravin R10 man Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 not changing anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 change up /improve some stand locations. other than that i think i'll shoot and fill the freezer earlier and save a tag for a good buck. this past year i said i was going to shoot earlier and didn't. Late season i felt rushed to get meat in the freezer and didn't enjoy things as much. also i used to scout a lot more which made me successful earlier in the season. so i'll probably scout more and get on the deer quicker to fill tags. equipment wise i'm pretty good.

stcif Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Changes - scout more and continue to learn shooting back tension. I think it is the way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
layin on the smackdown Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 I was hunting 4 new farms this last fall, and did as much scouting as i could on rainy days before the season opened...I was pretty close in terms of stand locations and travel routes, but not on the button in some spots, so all i will do is hang a few sets a little closer to where i need to be, oh, and purchase another trail cam or two along with a few more lock ons. I might try and pick up some more ground to hunt as well. Got a few things in the works as we speak. dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkneck Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 I just need more stands and spend more time scouting before season. May try a new bh, and may drop my weight back to 65, but equipment is good to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tominator Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Hmmmm, a lot of changes for me I think, including giving up the sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowhunter97 Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 I have a genesis that i would probably be able to get rid of if he wants it. I dont really know of what i wanna change yet. Probably be hunting on a new lease this year with my dad. And dont give up the sport yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt already has a Genesis and shoots it quite a bit, lol. Maybe I should clarify. If I lose my job, I probably won't be able to afford hunting too much next year. I also have some other things going on. I think my life is at somewhat of a crossroad. What I probably should do won't allow me much time to hunt.

Michiganbowhunter_SQ2 Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 I have wanted a new sight, rest, stabilizer, and quiver for my bow for a couple years now. Don't need em, but I want em. I'll at least have a new rest on it for the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJPOUTDOORS Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Already started went to the woods today and scoutted out all the well used trails you know the ones that are beat down. Found more scrapes and rubbs from last season, all this I hope will help me better understand deer movement at this location. Going to buy two more stands and get things done earlier in the year so that I will be ready opening day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randyman Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 No changes in equipment, did all that last year. The one big change for me is I recently joined a private hunting club, so I have 160 acres of prime Illinois Whitetail habitat I need to get familiar with. This property has produced some very nice Bucks, so I am excited about the upcoming season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruttinbuc Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 I am only going to change the way I go about hunting my spots. I feel I put way too much pressure on the deer. I will be rotating spots more often and not intrude in areas just to go see what pics I have on my camera. I can only hope that the others who hunt the same area will follow suit. I highly doubt that will happen, but you can always hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan Givan Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 Not changing anything with my bow setup. I plan on purchasing another trail camera or two, and a couple new stands. This last season I made great strides in understanding the deer movement on the 600 acre farm I started hunting two years ago, so I have a couple places I need stands in. Also planning on putting in a good sized food plot here at the house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sskybnd Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 as equipment go's im going to get a heavier arrow, and the leupold vendetta laser rangefinder, as for the land, we start this weekend cleaning more spots for food plots, other than that i dont need anything else, than it becomes the wants, and not realy need thing..

rossl14 Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 Just put new strings and cables, new black gold sights, and new quiver on my hoyt maxxis. Haven't had the chance to shoot it yet, but am excited to hit the 3d courses this spring... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowboy778 Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 I am actually going to get to go this year that is what I will change. Last year I was in Afghanistan. Year before I was in transit from VA to CO. I am going to try and get a deer draw and I will get an OTC Elk tag. It is on this year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
