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.

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...

Nikon makes a compact aculon series its camo for like 79 dollars l like mine they perform like something way more expensive.

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.

My father told me to keep a diary of my successful hunting and fishing days. I actually did but life got to buisy and l ceased being an author.

Hunting has been slow the last couple of weeks. I took the compound bow out for a sit this afternoon and shot the first two that came into range. Here's the combined video.

Congratulations on a fine early season buck. That'll certainly take the pressure off.

That's a pretty bow.

The closer it gets, the more my neck swells. :lol: This weekend looks like a total rain out for a lot of us on the East coast. With the expectations for rain, I'd like to have a fresh deer to turn into sausage this weekend. I want one bad, but not so badly that I'd carry my rifle. There's something...

Wow!

Good advice. The only thing I hate worse than tracking a deer in total darkness is jumping up a wounded deer in total darkness. It makes for a longer and/or restless night.

Congrats on the freezer queen. Considering the slightly quartering away angle, that wasn't a bad shot. You squarely hit the far lung. It's amazing how much ground one can cover in a short period. Good job on the recovery.

A picture is worth a thousand words. Thanks for that.

I must have missed it if it was mentioned, but do the Beacon nocks have a replaceable battery?

After an eleven year hiatus from using any vertical bow, my shoulder finally decided I've healed enough to give it a go. I've been out twice with a compound bow and twice with a traditional recurve. I was at full draw once with the compound, but decided to pass on the shot. Yesterday I decided it wa...
