Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting What do you need to do before next opening day?

I'll be hunting mule deer here in Washington again. Hunting season is a great motivator for me to stay active, keep up the hiking and workouts, and keep shooting.

I like to get out and hike the areas I'll be hunting. Good conditioning for the ol' body and I just enjoy getting more familiar with the land. Maybe I'll even see a buck or two in my rambles. Camera always comes along, sometimes a rifle for coyotes. Try to get a good hard hike in once a week, all year. Even on snowshoes in the winter. Helps keep me moving & reasonably fit in my late 60's.

Not much to do. I'm planning to hunt a generally familiar area though I plan to poke into some new parts of it. All I need to do is check my sights, load my pack, and .. go. I could possibly use some new gear but I don't really need it.

I’m in line. Had my preliminary cardio and dental checks done. Waiting for a date from the surgeon.

I'm buying my neighbor's Honda Pioneer 520. I'll need to get a rifle scabbard and mount, and something to store my extra rope, and snatch block. If the winch has steel cable on it, I'll replace it with synthetic winch rope.

Got stand loaded today and put together

Scout, move some stands around. Nothing major.

Currently pulling all cameras while we shed hunt only have about 10 left to pull.

Lose a couple three decades of age!

There is That, I’d like to be 40 again

Got pig/ deer feeder pen rehabbed. I raise the two pieces on each side of gate back to 5 foot. The pigs were hitting gate at an angle going over either side. I wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t seen it. I made. 2’ section to let deer jump in. The also go through the gate if it’s open. I made a 4 foot piece to drag in front of 2’ section if trying to catch pigs.

Got stand, feeders[u][/u], feeder pens/hog catching pens put up, about set for this deer season.
