Re: arctic shield

No experience with these, however, the Arctic Shield booty blankets (over boots) work well for me. They are occasionally on sale from Cabelas

Re: Part 2 - NY hunt - success

Thanks for the kind words. Learned a lot from the experts on this board and learned some more from my own failings (see earlier post about rough start on Saturday). I make extra sure now to continually check to see that my arrow is pushed back tight and loaded properly now. The friend that helped me...

Part 2 - NY hunt - success

Sunday morning got into the woods just at daylight and up in my stand. Super windy and cold. I can only see about 30 yards from this stand into some thick stuff where 3 trails come together. It was so windy, I'm thinking I will be getting down real soon but decided to stick it out. About 8:45 (time ...

Part 1 - NY hunt - rough start

Saturday went out in Cortland county with my Matrix as the NY hunting season started. It was a little windy and did not see any deer. In the afternoon when I was getting down from my stand I tied an overhand knot to the stirrup of my cb. The knot slipped out and my cb cartwheeled down striking the s...

Re: i was decocking and.......WTF !!!

and as nyexhunter said, "You may be on to something with your theory. My matrix had a ridge in the middle of the groove where the rope cocker goes. It looks like that is where two sides of the stock were put together. The ridge looked like it would be sharp against the rope so I sanded it down...

Re: My hunting season is shot :(

Sorry to hear about your injury. Take your time to make sure you heal right. There will be other chances after you recover and you will appreciate each opportunity more now. We take being healthy for granted; but all of a sudden everything that was all right is not all right and then we really know ...
