    I'm interested to see the responses here.

    I'm not even remotely close to an expert, but I know what I'm looking for this post season.

    I'm making it a goal to find where the boy I shot as well as the other three shooters that have been seen since were bedding. I went into this season thinking I had NO good bucks bedding on or near the property. I still may not, but I have a hunch of where these guys were.

    I'm fairly confident in my rut setups (I know where the doe bedding areas are), but I need to find GOOD early season setups. I want to try and take a buck within the first two weeks next year, but based on sightings this year, it might be tough.

    I want to add that I would love to find my first shed this year.

    Anyone needing doe meat, would be happy. Can't get on a bucks. My freezer's full and my wall is empty, that's the problem. That and I am running low on baby sitting.

    I will be combing the mountains for evidence of who and where they are hiding out. But not so fast, shed hunting is gonna have to wait as much as I love it! I have unfinished business here at home to take care of this Dec! Rifle season officially ended today! I love hunting the late bowseason! Now all I need is cold cold weather come Dec 10!

    My main project is to GET more land. I have about maxed out the land I have to hunt now. I'll be shooting 3D more than anything though, I'm excited for that :)

    I have two goals this off season.

    1. Gain access to another nearby property.
    2. Fine tune my current primary property.
