This time of year, can seem like it goes on forever and ever, but make the most of the slow season and use it to get ready for the busy season. Whether that means spring trout season or hunting season this fall (or even next fall) you can start getting prepared for success.

Check out new gear and equipment at sportsman shows. The big show in Harrisburg, PA just ended but there are plenty of others to go to. The biggest companies are showing off their latest and greatest goodies. Now is the time to test products and ask questions with staff that are the most knowledgeable on the products. This gives you a chance to see what is likely coming to local stores this fall and what you think you need to have. If you find something you want and it’s expensive, now you can start saving for it. Or plan how to spend your tax refund!
