we dive into week three of our "Stay Out of September" (SOS) series, focusing on the critical aspects of preparing for the upcoming hunting season. With just six weeks left, it's crunch time, and we discuss the importance of getting your gear in order, including shooting your bow, tuning your arrows, and preparing your broadheads.

We emphasize the significance of analyzing data from trail cameras and understanding the shifts in deer movement as the season progresses. It's essential not to get discouraged if certain cameras aren't showing activity yet, as some spots are better suited for later in the season.

The main focus of this week is on food sources. We talk about the importance of speed scouting to check if oaks are dropping acorns or if apple trees are producing. Understanding the cycles of these food sources is crucial, as what was hot last year might not be this year. We also discuss the importance of knowing your terrain and how local agriculture can impact deer movement.

For those with private land, we touch on the importance of maintaining food plots and ensuring they are well-prepared for the season. This includes overseeding if necessary and creating access trails to improve your chances of a successful hunt.

We also highlight the importance of checking your trail cameras, replacing batteries, and ensuring they are positioned correctly. Using tools like SD card readers can help you make adjustments on the fly, reducing the need for multiple trips and minimizing disturbance.

As always, we remind our listeners to practice shooting their bows, especially from elevated positions, to ensure they are ready for the real hunting scenarios.
