I shoot year round......just enjoy archery period. Bugle'n bulls in Sept....that's what it's all about.
I used to shoot year round myself but once I got out of the AF I lost my free range that was on base. I actually just printed out paperwork this morning to join a local archery club so I can get back to shooting more frequently. Still kicking myself for not buying a house out in the country where I could just shoot in my backyard...
And nice harvests bud, I've never had much luck hunting when it comes to trophies. In fact, I really only hunt whitetails but I've only killed does. I had a nice buck that I hit a little back that ended up on PETA property and I lost it. He wasn't a wall hanger but it was a big, mature 8 point that I still have nightmares about losing. But other than that, I've missed a few decent bucks but I'm a meat hunter. If a doe is in range, it's dead.
