What are you doing to prepare for this hunting season?

Busting my tail to get everything caught up so my wife won't have any reason to complain when October finally gets here! Poor girl gets widowed every October.....

I'm working on a new bow that I hope will be my new hunter. I've given away the last nine bows I've made so I think I've earned one. I've also been practicing my shooting.
But as far as scouting or preparing a site I'm not going to bother this year, at least not until I know if I am remaining in the area or not. I recently completed my engineering degree and I'm looking for a job now. I could end up anywhere in Canada at any time now, so I don't even know if I will be hunting here or not.

I do all of my scouting ,seting up ,triming everything that has to be done I do last winter. So my sites are freash when I do hunt it. I never revisted my stand sites untill the timeing right for that site. Then when I walk out on my deck to hunt that day. I go to the site that the wind tells me to.
Starting in July I start glassing my farm fields. I've saw 29 bucks so far all 1 1/2.2 1/2's (forkies to 8 points all inside a couple ear tips. 2 ,3 1/2 year old tens (100,110)/ One 4 1/2 10 point around 20"s wide, nice tines mid 130's. All glassed from the truck.
I only walk around in winter (scouting) any other time I leave my areas as sent free as I can. I you want mature bucks to move around in the day light other than the rut. Your area has to be left alone. When I do go to a site It's with the wind,have the wind while I'm there and leave with the wind.
No need to go scouting around after I ready to go. If you do your only letting bucks know your there. Once a mature buck knows your there he just became 20 no 50 times harder to kill. Then you only have the rut to depend on it happening.
