Re: Another fun night in the industrial park
That looks like one heck of a drag uphill! I agree. Success would require some serious effort. My hunting area is just the opposite. Getting to my stand(s) is a sweat inducing climb, but most of the sled drag to the truck is a piece of cake provided you don't get run over by a runaway carcass. I've...

Re: Leaving a Micro Cocked?
It's one of the benefits of owning an Excalibur.

Re: nemesis doe
A mature doe can be one of the most challenging targets. Congrats on settling the score.

Father/daughter double
Although it was a bit warmer than we would have liked, both of my kids and I were all up trees this morning before daybreak for the last Saturday of our archery season. Things were relatively quiet until about forty minutes after sunset. This small 7pt buck that was new to us showed up on a trail ca...

Re: Kudos to West Grey Police
Thieves suck! You were lucky with the outcome. As I passed someone painting graffiti in an inner city this week, I couldn't help but wonder if losing an index finger on the painting hand might cut down on the problem. Crimes that willfully disregard others property need a punishment that criminals w...

Re: My brother got a deer this morning
Congrats to him. When used properly, a Rocket Hammerhead can leave a amazing blood trail. It was my go to broadhead out of an ExoMax.

Re: Nice Bucks on my Trail Cams - During Shooting Hours to Boot
I'd spend a lot more time in the stand if I knew that big boy was in the area. Good luck with him.

Beacon nock battery replacement
Having ran a beacon nock battery down after more than four lighted days in the woods, I had the opportunity today to attempt replacing the battery. I'm happy to report that replacing the battery was easier than it was on a Lumenok. Here are a couple photos of the beacon guts. You'll notice that the ...

Beacon nock run time = plentiful
I fired an arrow with a beacon nock on Monday morning and missed because I misjudged the distance. I saw the arrow bounce off of the rocky terrain and disappear down through the woods. I didn't find my arrow in what limited time I got to search for it. This evening while I was walking out from hunti...

Re: 2023 East Texas Crossbow Buck
Congrats on a nice one. His neck is all swollen up for early October in TX. Not all deer follow the same schedule.

Re: 2023 Moose Hunt
Wow, that's a lot of meat for a freezer and a lot of work to make it happen. Congrats on the moose double. It doesn't surprise me that a Micro 400 with the right arrows and a sharp broadhead can have a crazy amount of penetration.

Re: Most Wonderful time of year
Amazing photos! I'm envious that you're already seeing color. We've got above normal temps and our trees show no signs of the changing season yet. But cooler weather is supposed to arrive this weekend. Here are a couple photos from the killing tree last Saturday. https://onedrive.live.com/embed?resi...

That's exactly what I carry. The Nikon Aculon A30. Its 10x25 and I prefer something nice and small for my pack. For the cost, it's hard to beat.
