Over the past week or so, I've started seeing more antlers. Surprisingly, I haven't seen the normal pile of spikes and fork horns. Most everything that I'm seeing has a little more bone. There are a handful of average 8pt bucks that I'd be happy to stick if any come in bow range. Then we had this fe...

You and I seem very similar. I too have gone tbe stick bow route. Shooting a recurve. What’s your bow and arrow setup? I’m shooting black Eagle traditional carbons with VPA 300 gr 3 blades with 4” feathers. Weigh over 600 gr total. My bow only pulls 50 ish at my draw weight. It’s a Timberhawk custo...

During our first of three trips up the mountain to pick wild raspberries, I decided to take the time to remove the climbing stick and replace it with a new one. Man, mother nature sure did a number on this stick. There are snapped, bent, flattened and twists all over the place. https://onedrive.live...

, what broadhead. I've had great luck with the Tooth of the Arrow XL. I put a vented one through a whitetail spine last year, then resharpened it and put it through a nice bear. You can't get much more durable than that, except maybe with the standard non-vented version. I'll be using some of the s...

I leave one camera out year round, but decided to put the rest of them up a few week early to capture antler growth. I really haven't captured any antlers yet from a buck worthy of placing on my hit list. But I did capture pictures of a bear that is at least as big as the one I harvested last fall. ...

My hat is off to you sir being able to reload a crossbow in the stand undetected for multiple shots. Lots of people can not do that. Anyway, my concern is technology ruining a great primitive sport. Technology is great BUT it slowly erodes the whole concept of primitive. Look what happened to the v...

I can understand where they are coming from with the regulation, but I'm not sure I agree with it. It's not like you're going to kill a herd of deer because you have a second shot. My ExoMax harvested four deer in one day, two each for two hunters. And they were all harvested just like the they woul...

That's a beauty. Congrats!

Just be Thankful ya wasn't in the stand when that happened!! My Lord!! Absolutely! Considering the time spent in this tree, I'm glad it occurred when no one was in it. I believe from the angle of the fall, if my stand was there it might have survived the strike considering it would have been largel...

The trip to put out a 2nd trail camera and clear trails proved to be worth it if only for the intel gathered. The "Killing Tree" has seen better days. In 2011 I put a stand in what turned out to be a perfect spot. The oak has a fork at about 23 feet, and a third branch that comes out and t...

I love fishing and frying fish, but the waterways up and down the East Coast have enough contaminants that making a meal of your catch can have health consequences. If there's any question, I'll pass. Two balls is all I need and I'm not looking to grow any extras. :lol: Therefore I end up spending l...

Makes a big black bear seem small somehow.

That's pretty. Next, a matching covered boat slip with a dock!

That's a plump bird. Congrats!

That's awesome. Congrats to the both of you.
