Dog Days of Summer7/22/2014 July and August are two months hunters can do without. It’s hot, it’s humid, it’s buggy and you can’t hunt anything. You just can’t erase these two months from the calendar, so as hunters we make the best of this time of year. With the start of archery season approaching for most of the country, there are a few things you can do to be productive in the dog days of summer. While not inclusive, the ideas below should be enough to fill time until that first crisp opening morning of fall.
-Check arrows for straightness and fletchings for condition -Spin test arrows -Arrow nocks and inserts should be straight -Sharpen or purchase new broadheads
-Identify any changes in deer patterns from last year -Look for and assess new hunting opportunities
-Purchase necessary hunting permits -Treat weeds and undesirable species in existing food plots -Prepare seedbed and choose seed mix for re-seeding or establishing food plots -Establish food plots in late August -Put out salt/mineral supplements -Trim around stands and maintain shooting lanes
