Procrastination.
Every year I set out early in year planning to be organized, have equipment cleaned, tuned, dyed, organized, land lined up and scouted, etc.
Seems like last several years I end up "scouting" by carrying stuff to same locations used in prior years hoping for sign and similar results. Good spots seem to hold up year after year, but one of these years I'm going to march in with exactly what I need, where I need it, and have a better game plan. I'll be dying traps this weekend, by the way. Something I should have done a couple months back by my "original plan". Just got through the last of the tuning and replacing parts, so am ready to dye traps now. Season opens in a couple weeks, too. Nothing like waiting until the last minute...
