Sportsmen Since 1968

Outdoor horoscopes for the week of Dec. 22 to Dec. 28

Aries (March 21 – April 19) 

You swear this is the late-season hunt you’ll sit all day, no matter how cold it gets. By noon, you’re negotiating with yourself like a hostage situation. The stars say your late-season archery success depends entirely on whether that one doe drags a buck past your stand while you’re flexing frozen toes.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

You trust wool, tradition, and a bow you refuse to upgrade. Late-season deer hunting suits you — slow, quiet, and stubborn. Your New Year’s resolution is to “keep it simple,” which will last until January 8, when you buy something unnecessary but on sale.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

One day you’re drilling ice holes, the next you’re back in the treestand wondering why nothing’s moving. The stars advise commitment, but you ignore them and try to do both. Your resolution to “focus more” fades faster than deer movement during a high-pressure cold front.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22) 

Late-season archery brings out your reflective side – mostly because you have nothing else to do for six hours. You’ll promise to appreciate the quiet more in the new year. That resolution ends the moment a squirrel scares ten years off your life.

Leo (July 23 – August 22) 

You’ll loudly declare this is “the best late-season spot I’ve ever had.” The deer will not agree. The stars recommend humility, or at least whispering. Your New Year’s resolution: talk less in the woods. No one believes it, including you.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22) 

You’ve got hand warmers labeled by hour and arrows fletched within an inch of their lives. Still, the deer refuse to read your plan. Your resolution is to stress less next year, but you’ll start breaking it before the Christmas leftovers are gone.

Libra (September 23 – October 22) 

You keep telling yourself, “Just one more late-season sit,” which turns into three more before New Year’s. The stars applaud your optimism and warn your family will stop asking where you are. Your resolution is balance — it holds until the next cold, calm evening.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

You know a buck could still show up — and you’re right. Probably. Late-season archery fuels your intensity, even as friends tell you “it’s over.” Your resolution is to let missed chances go. You will not.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21) 

You’re bouncing between public land, frozen lakes, and online maps titled “Next Year.” The stars say adventure still favors you – but maybe not success. Your resolution to save money collapses the moment you buy gas for “just one more spot.”

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19) 

You accept late-season deer hunting for what it is: long sits, empty woods, and sudden chaos when a deer finally appears. Your resolution is discipline – earlier mornings, better prep. This one might stick, assuming your truck starts in January.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 18) 

You’re still adjusting stand height, shooting lanes, and gear – because this tweak will change everything. The stars admire your creativity and warn it’s 10 degrees and dark by 4:30. Your resolution to stop tinkering lasts until the next wind shift.

Pisces (February 19 – March 20) 

Late-season sits hit you hard — quiet woods, snow on branches, and the feeling that this chapter’s closing. You resolve to slow down and savor it next year. That lasts until opening day, when all patience mysteriously disappears.
