As a hunter, your goal is to fill your tags every season. It’s as simple as that. You want to fill your tags because it puts meat in the freezer and helps contribute to conservation by keeping the ecosystem in balance. The fact that it’s an exhilarating and skilled hobby is the icing on top of the cake. So, because every hunter should want to make the most out of their hunting season, you should start prepping in the spring so that you can slowly build attraction to your property, month by month. You don’t just decide to run a 20-mile marathon tomorrow if you’ve never ran a day in your life. You start with one mile and add more until you’re ready. So, if you want to be marathon-ready by the fall, start prepping now.
