I need to build a couple of new feeders to replace some old ones. That’s about it. I would like to build another round piggie trap, but I don’t know if I will get to it.
What do you need to do to get ready for next year?
It’s only 8 months until bow season in Texas.

I’ll be putting up a ladder stand this weekend as I am hoping to get my first with a recurve next fall. Other than that, lots of practice with bow for me and rifle for daughter. It will be her first deer season.

No, too far out, with it just now being over I need to try and keep it off my mind, makes the wait that much worse, rolling by and seeing this deer hunting forum is bad enough.

I plan to be on a mountain top in Sullivan county PA just like every other year. It's what makes me happy.

In about two weeks, I'll go out and remove my hang-on stands and loosen the straps on my ladder stands. Probably move a couple stand locations, so I'll trim limbs and new shooting lanes. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that a few of the 3.5 year old bucks I passed made it through the season, and I'll see them in the Fall.
Then, it'll be time to hunt coyotes and scout new ground and keep an eye out for sheds.

The fellow I hunt on, called to tell me that a friend of his, has another 180 acres that he needs the deer thinned off of. I told him I know some people...

Like gunner said, it's a LONG way out but I do have a couple ideas.
I made a 'plan' last Spring and then changed it so.... we'll see how this plan works out.
I have killed so many (not bragging) deer with 243/6mm, 270, 06, & 300 mag that I
"PLAN" to use my M 98 284 Win more AND my T3X SS Lite 7mm RM more.
I have killed a few deer with both rifles but I LIKE EM and enjoy hunting both.
OH ! I pan to kill more than 2 next year. lol
I could have killed more than 2 this past season but I 'chose' to wait for Mr. Big.-- Didn't work out.

Next season? Heck this season still has 7-22 days left according to where you hunt in the state.
January 31 here in the zone I live in, February 15 south of here.

Hunt same thicket as last yr.
Two proly over 140" this coming fall.
Try with recurve.
Farmer owns both sides, One strip acts as feeder to thicket.
East to west travel.
Topo and wind suck for a stand where trees are.
Only option IMHO is a tripod in a scrub island.
See what game cams say late summer.
