Wondering how to prepare for hunting season? Now is the time! The crisp morning air signals one thing in the Texas Hill Country: hunting season is just around the corner. While anticipation builds, success in the field depends on the work you put in right now. At Odiorne Feed, we want to help you make this your best season yet with a few essential preparation steps.

First, inspect your gear thoroughly. Pull out your blinds, feeders, and stands to check for any damage caused by summer storms or pests. Tighten loose bolts, replace worn straps, and ensure your blinds provide adequate cover. You should also test your feeder timers and batteries now to avoid frustrating malfunctions on opening day. A little maintenance today prevents big headaches later.

Next, start scouting your locations. Spend time in the field looking for fresh tracks, rubs, and active game trails. Understanding how the deer are moving before you sit in the stand gives you a significant advantage. Clear shooting lanes of any new growth that might obstruct your view, ensuring you have a clean shot when the moment arrives.

Finally, stock up on supplies early. Don’t wait until the last minute to buy corn, protein pellets, and attractants. Establishing a consistent feeding routine now keeps wildlife coming back to your area. Stop by Odiorne Feed in Johnson City to grab everything you need, from high-quality feed to trail camera batteries. Let’s get you ready for a successful harvest.
