It seems like there is always something to do to get ready for next year. All the conversations in the blind of next year we need to do..... we're in the process of building a solid A fram blind for the boat and trying to decide what kind of material to go with and exactly how we want to brush it in. We will be doing some scouting around the local lakes while we fish. My son will likely start hunting with me locally this year. He's not old enough to make a coastal trip but he's ready for the local stuff. Don't care if we melt the barrel just interested in getting him out there. This summer we are planning to make a run east to scout some of the game land and options around the sound and creeks around the sound. My boat is only 17' so we're focusing on some likely spots around creeks and more sheltered areas for a trip or two this coming season. We had considered flooding some of our land here at the house but I think the cost along with the trouble is going to scratch that idea. Already looking forward to next year. Sometimes the fun and work to get ready is just as much fun as the hunt.
