In today's episode of the DIY Sportsman podcast, Garrett talks about some of the items you should do your best to check or do prior to the season actually opening. With some exceptions, your first tag might be starting as soon as three weeks from now. Or it might be a little less than two months if you have an October opener and aren't traveling. Regardless, it's right around the corner, and checking some of these items as soon as possible can help give you time to make any corrections prior to the season actually opening. 

In the podcast, Garrett breaks down down key details regarding archery and gear checks, practicing with your climbing gear, double checking hunting properties even if you hadn't planned on glassing or using trail cameras prior to the season, and reviewing and analyzing the goals you've set for the season.
