Ray,

Great buck and a great write up. Its a trophy in my eyes.

What a great buck! Congrats.

Very nice buck! Congrats. That is amazing that they can get up after being hit so solidly. Great job on the recovery. Many folks would have lost this deer and blamed it on some portion of their hardware not getting the job done. Thats a wide one.

Nice looking buck. Congrats.

For more than a dozen years I have been using a cheap Rival meat grinder that I purchased from Wal-Mart. It has served me well. It was never meant to process a half dozen or more deer per year and it was getting old so I decided to check into an upgrade. I set my price limit at $200 US. While flippi...

Good deal. Donating venison to food banks and Hunters for the Hungry type programs are one of the single best things that we hunters can do improve our image to our communities. I hunt in Northern Virginia where deer populations are very high. The season is long (7 months for doe!) and doe tag$ are ...

Planter, I would be interested to know how your testing went. Other than the cost, I like the Rage 3-blade head. The main complaint I have is with the durability. I think the fact that they only give you three o-rings and a free practice head should tell you something. The Rage heads aren't really i...

With my son claiming the Exomax I'm stuck with the vertical bow again today. I set up in a new thick location to try and get a peek at the big buck I saw last Thursday. I moved into the spot about 5pm and saw movement about 5:30pm. Five doe filed past at 30 yards but it was too thick to get a shot. ...

I bought a groundpounder mount and like it better than the stock mount. I didn't like the idea of the crossbow seeming so tall. I went to the Wyvern Creations mount and love it. Its all metal and works fine with the STS since it doesn't use those mounting holes at all. I have it mounted with the sta...

Great job and congrats to both of you.

I hear you. 86 here just north of you. I'm still thinking of going out since I saw the big boy yesterday right at dark. I'm thinking the best chances are the last 30 minutes of shooting hours. Actually, the best chance is probably well after shooting hours after it cools down a lot. :roll: DuckHunt

There is a moon and it does have an effect on game movement, but so does the sun, the weather, the food supply, the terrain, the predators, etc. It can't hurt to check the charts for predicted peak times, but those other factors can play havoc with your plans. :wink: :lol: :lol: Exactly.
