My son and I have hunted every weekend this year including youth season. I sit here and think to myself about what are we gonna do now that season is basically over. Does anyone else think this way. And what do you do to pass the time till next season?

Get house projects done and get the boat ready for spring fishing. One of my best days on the pond last year was a sunny February afternoon. I caught 30+ crappie and a few bass.

Deer season is never over here. Working on habitat improvements and creating additional bedding cover next few months. Running mineral sites and 4 supplental feed stations as well as running camaras and scouting for new stand locations for next year. Predator hunting and shed hunting after first year.

Great ideas guys. All my hunting is done in hoosier. I live in evansville. Fishing doesnt drive me as much as it used to. Hunting has taken over since i have new partners( kids) they arent much into fishing. As im looking into selling boat and getting a decent camper. Not much on the honey do list. I dont know much about rules on creating ( cutting brush) in hoosier for bucks. Need to look into that.

Get house projects done ,get ready for super bowl party and work overtime at work so can get bank roll back up so when hunting season gets here I don't have to work overtime.

Maybe it isn’t fishing the kids don’t like, maybe it’s the style of fishing they don’t like?
What kind of fishing you into?
Between crow, turkey coyote and squirrel you can stay busy hunting for awhile.

Oh I'll probably try to shoot a few song dogs and some vegging around the fireplace. May do some rabbit hunting. Don't have a dog for it. Heck, I haven't ever been rabbit hunting. Just think it'll be nice to walk the woods with my grandfather's old Winchester model 37 that he use to rabbit hunt with.

Start shed hunting. Or any of the above suggestions. Don't waterfowl hunt though. You will spend a ton then realize ducks HATE Indiana |

I have a ton of chores and projects that have been neglected the last 3 months that I need to get to work on.
It is also research season for 2018 and 2019 out of state hunts. I applied in Alaska this month, if drawn that would be a 2019 trip. Wyoming elk deadline for 2018 is coming up in January, then depending on the outcome of that there are a whole host of states/hunts that I may or may not be applying for.
Alabama hog hunt in March.
Thinking about maybe hiking the Knobstone Trail this year.
I'll probably go on some more armed hikes this turkey season.
Summer vacation/weekend car camping with the family.
Then we'll be back to deer season again...

Ice fishing, Late squirrel hunting, rabbit hunting. Poke around the Hoosier if my list doesn't intrest you. You can always take a .22 along, just make sure you have the licenses for whatever is in season. Explore new areas you may have wondered about. Combine with a little shed hunting. Maybe find new routes and parking spots to get to your secert spots.
Gun shows, Outdoor shows, Go over gear and mend or replace as needed. There are some great deals on last seasons clothes and gear right now.
Reload some light loads as it does not take a max magumn load to punch paper. Get out to a range and challenge yourself.
