Yea man. I'm counting the days down. I'm waiting on my new bow to arrive any day now, but I'm gonna start trimming lanes and hanging a few stands here soon. It's bout to hot though, and my rattlesnake population keeps me on edge lol. I'm putting out a few cams out this weekend too.
Turning the calendar
The halfway point of the year is here, dove season will be here in 60 days, bow season is 3 months away and it finally feels like there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Anything specific you'll start doing in July to prepare? Believe I'll get a few cameras out this week and possibly try to trim a few lanes (as much as possible in triple digit heat). The mineral sites are getting hit hard so I'll probably put a fresh set of goodies on those as well. I also need to get back in form with the bow. Anything else to do in July to get ready for the season.

Freshening up sites, bush hogging , replacing ratchet straps on a few lock ons, I always buy a new cam it's bout that time.
Put cams on mineral sites and clover plots bout 2 weeks back. Gotta do some trimming in a few spots. Also gonna plant some late peas this year and hope they will do the trick come Oct 1.
Still a long way to go and a good bit to do.

Just shooting my bow pretty often and I going to try some 3-blade cut on contact broadheads this year so I've got to learn how to sharpen them which will be a challenge for me ha
Which ones are you going to try? I can get VPA/Snuffer style heads shaving sharp with a file and a leather strop, pretty easily, especially the VPA. I've been thinking of trying some Treesharks, but I'm not sure I have to tools to sharpen those.Just shooting my bow pretty often and I going to try some 3-blade cut on contact broadheads this year so I've got to learn how to sharpen them which will be a challenge for me ha
I got some of the big 170 grain snuffers. I love my tree sharks and will still have them in my quiver though. All I use on them is a file and then a couple passes through a cheap wheelie sharpener and then strop them and they're good to go.
The Snuffer should be easy for you. If you have a big file just push the head down several times per side, decreasing pressure, then strop.
