With CWD in the area, both WV and Virginia added laws controlling (VA) or forbidding (WV) baiting.
Nice photo.
I wonder if you could take two in one shot? That's my dream. It would just take perfect conditions that I have yet to find. The situation pictured might make it possible.

Sizing up a buck using his rubs?
With all of the big horns I see others taking, I can't help but wonder what type of sign those monsters (Amish Buck) must be leaving in the woods. I've hunted near rubs that I thought must have been made by a trophy only to find it was a trophy 3-point with an itch. I've always thought that bigger b...

About 5 years ago I pre-selected a tree 20 yards off of a trail only to find out on a wet opening morning that it had a slight lean. The only other tree available was literally ON the trail. I climbed up it about 25 feet. In my typical fashion after four hours of sitting I arrowed the first thing I ...

After shooting a 180lb 6-pt in Virginia right at dusk on Saturday I drug it for about 10 feet before deciding to head to the truck to get my cart. I can't describe the feeling I had (or the look on my face) when I dropped the tailgate on my truck and realized that my wife had taken my deer dolley ou...

Opening day rifle season bucks, one in VA, one in WV
I took my daughter out Saturday morn in Virginia and saw nothing. She got plenty cold. Saturday afternoon it was only me going. The first deer I saw all day was this nice 6pt trolling down the ridge above and behind my stand about 10 minutes after sunset. He was about 50 yards away in some thick stu...

10 & 13yr olds both score with blackpowder
My 10yr old son scored his first two deer with my Exomax back in October. Yesterday he scored again with his new muzzleloader. Fifteen minutes before sunrise a little doe came running over the hill in response to a doe bleat call. It stopped about 10 steps away on the uphill side of our stand right ...

Anyone try the Rage 3-blade slipcam expandables?
Has anyone on here tried the Rage 3-blade slipcam expandable broadheads?
I'm interested any any experiences you've had with them.

Thats a nice smokepole Griz. I hunted with ML far longer than with archery just not as successfully. I guess the real long bow season has a lot to do with that. A couple years back I finally put the CVA Mountaineer out to pasture. In it I shot 100gr of FFg with a patched round ball. I could get 3&qu...

No prob Griz. I can take the heat. Ch312: I hate to burst your bubble, but if it makes you happy I'll leave that tag unfilled in your honor because you're such a stand up guy. Now I can only shoot four more deer this season (1 buck) counting my bonus tags. One of my kids will be with me and will be ...

Thanks for the kind words Grizz. You summed it up well. There is no doubt my dog would have caught this deer if I let him after it. What would happen at that point is anyones guess. He is pretty agressive, but that buck had a 3:1 size advantage. Also, since we have no dog use in this area of VA I wa...

I found it. I waited until the weather broke this morning and went out with the dog. At first the wind was calm so with all of the rain we would have to stumble right up on it. I made about a 200 yard circle of the area I expected the deer to be in but my dog never picked up anything. I returned to ...
