    I hung a couple of stands this weekend, moved the trailcams and put out some mineral licks. Been shooting 3D most weekends as well.

    Not much, I've still got plenty of summer to enjoy first.
    I have started shooting some.
    And I am getting in shape for my elk hunt. I slacked some in that dept last year and am not going to do that again.

    That's good...but I thought you were all about being "mobile" with a climber stand?

    Hey, he's sleeping and she can't drive yet. That equals me on the get away machine (the wheeler and accs) heading to the land next door. I'll have you know that I made three grocery store trips in the last two days and have a fourth planned tomorrow.
