How to prepare for the upcoming deer season

Preparing for the upcoming deer seasons can be very time consuming depending on what you do to prepare. You can do many different things. I know people that wash every single piece of clothing that they wear out in the woods. While I also know people that don’t do anything at all besides practice shooting whatever weapon they use to harvest their deer. I usually wash most of the clothing that I am going to wear in the woods because I believe in eliminating as much of my scent that I can. I wash all of my clothing a month before the season open. I only wash them with scent eliminating products and I do not dry them. After I wash them I hang them up outside under the awning on the garage. I start shooting my bow about a month and a half before the season. I will shoot 20 to 30 arrows every night. While shooting my bow I will try to keep my groupings of arrows within the inner circle of a paper plate. I will also attend as many bow shoots I can so then I can be ready for almost any situation. I usually do not shoot my shot gun or muzzle loader until a week or two before the season opens. My stands are set up a month before the season. I’ll always trim out shooting lanes the day I put the stand in the tree. Therefore the deer can get used to any changes they notice. I will also put out trail cams near my stand locations about a month or two before the season. This will allow me to see the deer in the area. I take my preparation very seriously because I want to be successful in the woods. There are many ways to prepare for deer season. Whether you take your time and do everything you can to be successful or you can do nothing. Which every way you choose to prepare will be fun and will get you pumped for deer season. Good luck and if it’s brown it’s down.
