What do you guys do in the off season?

[coldboremiracle]

Who doesn't get just a little sad when hunting season is over? Springtime for me can be somewhat depressing, perhaps its the colorless and winter torn look of the high-country I love to play in. But spring also is a new beginning of a whole new type of activities, as it begins to warm up and green begins flourish through the hills, there is still much to do. It might be shed hunting or hunting spring varmints, but here is a little project we did on what to do in the off season:

Off season will be very busy for me. Dusting off the fishing gear, finally getting back to home projects neglected during the fall and winter, more time at the range, etc., etc. The honey do list is extensive at this point.

Coyote hunt now, turkey starts in 2 weeks, hunt more coyotes, shoot prairie dogs, hunt more coyotes and in all that got to work alittle to. Archery deer is coming sooner than you think. And it starts all over.

Coyote season never ends. The other seasons just get in the way. Sometimes I feel obligated to shoot a deer or a Turkey, but coyotes are where it's at.

It seems like there is no off season , when I'm not hunting I'm getting ready for the next season. Deer stand repair , working on a new rifle , new load , clearing brush , maintaining feeders , creek crossings etc , etc the list goes on . The preparation too me is as much fun as the hunt.

I typically take care of farm projects and target shoot to keep sharp. This year I also got my name in on a cull permit so I'll spend a few weekends later in the summer taking a few whitetail does.

After deer, elk, ducks & geese , I pay what I call hunting taxes,
It's all the work I let pile up while I was out having fun.
Then I rest my knees .

Probably true about the "No off season" comment in the sportsman's world but for me, the off season is right after deer season ends and again just after winter ends. Small time periods but still down time for me. Ice fishing is done. Too early to fish the lakes in my boat. Good time to start getting the boat and fishing gear ready for April tho. After deer season is time to get the ice fishing gear ready for the hard lake. For me the biggest down time or slow time is the hottest days of summer. That's when I reload and work on rifles the most. Coldest and worst winter conditions is when I do the same.

I shoot prairie dogs on private ground, build rifles, load development, coyotes and chase kids…I do that one all the time though lol.

One day chasing the wife around the house will replace the kids. Something else to look forward too
