Friday's Forward Assist
With Fall comes the introduction of 'sub-seasons': football season goes into full-swing (on all levels), festivals pop-up in abundance (around here, the big ones are the Big Bone Salt Festival, the Kentucky Wool Festival and the Renaissance Festival), bow season kicks off with rifle season right around the corner and it's also the time frame that I consider 'build season'.We have officially waved goodbye to the brutal humidity of the Ohio River Valley's Summer months and are welcoming, with open arms might I add, the Fall season with its endless cool breeze, beautiful colors and the plethora of Autumnal events that come along with it. My favorite Autumn event, personally, is hunting season.If you're with me in the 'hunting season rocks' category, then we have a few things in common: we need to figure out when we're hitting the stand ( letting the wife and everyone know these dedicated dates), where that stand will be and what tools and gear are we packing out for each respective hunt. This, the planning phase, is where things get creative, each decision you make now can, and likely will, have a considerable impact on how your Fall season turns out.For me, this is where my mind always takes me into 'I need a new rifle' mode, the wife and my wallet tend to disagree with this notion, especially since opening the safe door is like popping a can of biscuits (the gift and the curse of working in the firearm industry). I find that the most budget friendly way to optimize your hunting loadout and finding the proper tool to land that monster buck who's been teasing your trail cams is to build your own -or- begin putting some custom work in on a rifle that already belongs to your arsenal.Location: The 'where' holds the greatest value for me in this decision-making process. I guess I would be what you could consider a non-traditional hunter, I'm not what I would consider, a seasoned hunter. As a matter of fact, my first time ever hunting was a little over three years ago, it was a mountain lion hunt in Montana. I had been 'hunting' prior to that but it was all inclusive with my time serving in the Marine Corps, as an engineer, we 'hunted' explosive devices to keep our infantry brothers out of harm's way from Point A to B and we hunted terrorists all along the way. This year, the two hunts that I am looking at include whitetail in Ohio and potential for an elk hunt in Arizona.
