There are guys in our area that swear the best hunting hours are anytime after dark!!! Sad but true!

Not so much archery, where I have seen plenty of deer feeding in the afternoon over the years, but during gun season two prime times are app. 9:00-9:30 and 12:00-12:30, reason being guys are getting cold and heading back to their vehicles to either call it a day, or chow down and warm up and then wa...

A few years back there were three of us shooting at the range at a local rod and gun club when one of the guys said look up on the bank, on the top of the side bank were 3 deer feeding. There are people shooting there all the time, they get used to it, and it's not the only time that deer were spott...

That's funny!

Another game changer for us over the hill guys is a deer buggy, there is no way we would be hunting some of the places we still are if we had to drag deer out.

I also use various face masks for both deer and turkey, I just purchased a facemask that is attached to a cap, from just trying it on I'm really liking it compared to the other facemasks that I have. One of my biggies is using permethrin on clothing, definitely keeps ticks at bay, I wouldn't really ...

Hopefully whoever bought Remington's ammunition manufacturing equipment will gear up and start producing ammo and reloading components. Even long before Remington went bankrupt, Remington wasn't producing a lot of the brass for multiple calibers or the bullets, when/if they gear up they should be ab...

.....oh, I forgot to mention....I have enough CB's and arra building components to last a similar amount of time!

The way things are going that is probably a good idea, you might need to learn to knap flint to make your own broadheads also!

For once, I'm glad I'm old! :) I also reload and have ACCUMULATED enough components for every caliber that I have to well outlast me, if I wouldn't have I would be crying, I pity the younger guys that are just starting out. Like others, stores in our area are either completely out of ammo or picking...

Looks like it's going to be a bad one, anyone in its path just try to stay safe as possible.

Sorry to hear that Mike, can't even imagine experiencing something like that.

Face it, WE STINK! Even a coyote will try to circle downwind to pick up scent, if a deer is downwind it will probably smell you no matter what. I remember guys wives saying that they stank after coming back from remote hunting camps in Maine, I was good for a bath in an ice cold stream or broke thin...

X2 on your post Joe! I also ordered a spare set of limbs during covid and actually talked to someone, I think it was Peter. I misread my CC# :eusa-doh: and he called me back and said it didn't go through, and I then gave him the right # and received the limbs in short order. I also had a limb splint...

Very unfortunate, my condolences to you and the rest of the family.

I have no clue if either is viable, but they do make offset scope mounts, and possibly using a red dot sight. He's young and may just to have to learn to shoot as Boo mentioned or learn to shoot right handed.
