Summer can feel slow when it comes to hunting, but I try to use it to my advantage. I've been sorting through my gear, checking cameras, and hitting the gym, though I can't shake this feeling that I must be neglecting something crucial, so I'm curious how others tackle their summer prep.

In a couple of weeks, I'll dig out the crossbow (rotator cuff surgery), wax the string, lube the rail, lightly oil the the metal nuts and bolts, then check the scope. Hopefully, I'll have most of November off and hit the rut hard.
I already inspected the muzzleloaders. I need to weigh my charges and reprime my LMRP brass modules (smokeless muzzleloaders), then hit the range to confirm my zeroes. I'll most likely hunt late muzzleloader this year.
A few weeks later, I hope to do some scouting. I already have good spots from last year, but it never hurts to check.
