Now, many of you will say, deer season never ends and I\u2019ll 100% agree with you, however the days where you can legally shoot a deer do come to an end, thus leaving more free time to enjoy other activities in the great outdoors.\u00a0 Here is a list of the top off-season activities.1-Shed HuntIt\u2019s the obvious off-season choice that gets you back outdoors and learning about deer as soon as the season ends.\u00a0 Shed hunting is a great way to get outside with family and friends with the hopes of finding some great trophies.\u00a0 There is even an annual \u201choliday\u201d to promote this activity! #ShedRally \u2013 the world\u2019s largest shed hunt begins Saturday, March 7th.2-Predator HuntPredator hunting is a great way to help your deer and turkey populations out, and is one of the only ways to get your hunting fix\u00a0between deer and turkey seasons.\u00a0 I love predator hunting because they are usually quick and exciting hunts\u2026well, at least quick.3-Turkey HuntTurkey hunting is well worth the wait!\u00a0 It\u2019s one of the best times of the year to be out in the woods. Temperatures are warming up, the landscape is awakening with greenery, birds are chirping, and turkeys are a gobbling!\u00a0 Nothing beats waking up with Mother Nature as you lean against a tree with a 12 gauge and a slate call in hand.4-FishTime to hit the water and wet a line.\u00a0 Relaxing and rewarding \u2013 those are the two words I associate with fishing trips.\u00a0 Not many weekends go without a few casts during the summer months.\u00a0 Besides, what\u2019s better than a fresh shore lunch?Bonus activity: If you haven\u2019t tried bow fishing, do it!\u00a0 It\u2019s an activity loaded with action and is fun for everyone \u2013 men, women, and kids alike.5-Food PlottingGet your farmer on! \u00a0Watching something grow out of the ground that you planted is perhaps one of the most rewarding feelings of the entire deer season, especially when you see a big ol\u2019 buck filling his stomach in your food plot.\u00a0 If you\u2019ve never tried planting your own plots, make this year the year.\u00a0 Trust me, you\u2019ll be addicted.\u00a0 Check back in the coming months for complete guides on how, when, and what to plant for your deer.6-Join an Archery LeagueNot only is it a great way to hone your skills, but it\u2019s a great way to interact and converse with other hunters in your area.\u00a0 3-D leagues are a ton of fun and will get you shooting on a weekly basis.7-Time on the RangeI find shooting in warmer weather much more enjoyable than shooting with frozen fingers.\u00a0 Whether it be trap shooting or sending some rifle rounds down range, the off-season is the perfect time to be working on your marksmanship.\u00a0 Just save some .22 ammo for me.8-Find New Hunting SpotsThe search never ends.\u00a0 Right now is a great time to scout for next season, especially if there is some snow on the ground.\u00a0 Whether it be now, spring, or summer, work on finding some new hunting properties or at the very least some new stand locations.9-Save for\/Test New GearThere\u2019s no such thing as too much hunting gear.\u00a0 If a new bow or gun is on the list, now is the time to start saving, researching, and testing.\u00a0 Even if it\u2019s the small things like clothes and grunt calls, the price adds up quickly.\u00a0 There\u2019s nothing worse than going into a season ill-prepared and with faulty equipment.10-Do Whatever the Heck You PleaseFire up the grill, share laughs around a bonfire, sing Kum-Ba-Ya, heck it\u2019s the off-season, so take some time to relax and spend it with friends and family doing whatever it is you enjoy.Hopefully this guide will help you through the dreaded off-season.\u00a0 Remember, when one thing ends, another begins.\u00a0 What are some of your favorite things to do outside of deer season? \u00a0 "},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/community.legendarywhitetails.com\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Legendary Whitetail's Blog"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/community.legendarywhitetails.com\/blog\/deer-seasons-over-now-what\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Deer Season’s Over, Now What?"}}]}]
