Share your "to-do" list for this spring

What things are you looking to accomplish this spring to improve your hunting land?

1. Add a food plot
2. Hinge Cutting and increase bedding areas
3. Move some stands I know need to be moved.
4. Brush in my box blind better.
5. Scout for deer movements when there is snow still on the ground.
6. Build a wood duck house for the pond.
7. Build two more platforms with stairs to put a pop on blind on it.

What about you?

 

Plant some fruit trees.
Plan corn-food plot transition better.

 

Oh boy...here goes...

**FINISH SCHOOL ON MARCH 23RD**

Then i can do whatever i want, up to and including...

Clearing my 3 kill plots
Prepping my 2 large food plots
Planting above mentioned 5 food plots
Establishing 3-4 productive mineral sites
Create a wetland
Begin a fruit orchard
Plant 2 tree rows
Tweak all my stand sites
Fish, fish and fish.
Kill a few gobblers.
Get my video production equipment/skills back up to par.

That should be good for spring....

 

Buying more stands

 

Hang 3 more stands...got 4 hung the last 2 weeks.
3 food plots

 

If we can lease the farm adjacent to my parents cabin, ill do so and plant 3-4 acres of beans.

I only have a 2 week window to do so in late may though.
