update.... morning hunts walking in just be for sunrise, have not chased deer out yet. Afternoon hunts are overall better than mornings. Many deer still around. Thanks all for the advice.

Awful, 16 hunters. Total of 70 tree stand sits, 4 deer. All doe. Did better at home with the bow.

My meaty this year was low light 70 yards inside the fiddle sticks off hand. She was on the move trotting uphill along a stone wall that was 90 degrees to a ridge. The first round with the scoped BAR missed her, I watched one of the saplings explode. She paused at an opening and I drilled her in the boiler room. I agree, slow and deliberate trigger pull is everything.

The weight per inch is less than the Nemesis I use to shoot. The total arrow built weight for the CE Mayhems is 431, the Easton was 436.

Thinking of unloading my Diamond Carbon Cure that I bought two years ago and seriously looking at the new PSE Beast ECS. My buddy has the Beast ECS and loves it. I have shot it and I am really impressed with it as well. I like the Carbon Cure, I just don't love it. I have a Diamond Dead Eye, that is a 2013 bow that I love. Truth be told I always hunt with the Dead Eye and rarely with the Carbon Cure. The Carbon just does't feel like a bow should. Anyone with a similar issue on a carbon hunting bow? The speed in the carbon's isn't as burning hot as it is does with the all aluminum risers.

Send him down to Suffolk. He's legal for 5 more weeks!

I can't find an Easton arrow I like anymore. The Nemesis was my go to arrow for three seasons. They stopped making them. The Bloodline was a close second but not as durable as the Nemesis. Years ago I shot CE's. Never really had a problem with them, I just fell in love with the Nemesis. Anyway, now that I am inside my last dozen Nemesis, I figured I'd make an effort at looking for something that will replace them eventually. Anyone have an opinion on the CE Mayhem Hunters? Reviews look good so far. I bought a dozen 350's last night, out of the box they look great with Blazer vanes and Bulldog nocks. I have not shot them yet. Any first hand experience would be great. Thanks and Merry (almost) Christmas.

these are amazing

The new PSE Vapor series are really nice. Have you looked at them?

The G5's are super quiet and on the lighter side.

Temp doesn’t seem to bother them. Rule of thumb down here is as long as the sun is shining the ticks are biting Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

High fence is totally BS hunting. Pay enough and they can get you a wooly mammoth somehow if you need to anchor one. Not impressed and Im glad the story broke. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks, I don't wan to use high-power at night because of the noise problem. I'd be calling them in after dark and shooting not any further than 50 yards.

Evening y'all- what you think about 22 LR for nighttime note calling? Using something like a CCI Minimag.

I think that is my only chance. They also don't spook unit the flashlight hits them,.... maybe go in without any light. The walk through the opened won't be an issue, but going through the woods I can use a red light instead of white? Thoughts? Also as the moon changes their movement times should as well..... Right?

Watched Wall Hanger last night. Its a husband and wife team bowhunting monsters. Great production quality.

Thanks Pygmy. The caliber has always been interesting to me. If I did my homework right, when it was first introduced it was called the 7mm Remington Express and was their answer to the 270. Correct. For some reason it wasn't popular until they re released it in the late 1980's as the 280 Rem. A friend uses it for deer and has always had good results at all ranges. For me it will be a NY and Virginia deer round. The rifle I had once before in 7 Rem Mag. I wasn't a big fan of it then, but I think with some more years behind me I might light it better now.

I'm guessing it fits in somewhere between 270 Win and 30-06. Not as much zip as the 270 and a bit less terminal energy than the 30-06? I will probably shoot factory through it. Not set up for 280 reloading yet. What weight is preferred, I'm thinking 140 grain?

under 2" and its rain mixed now. Messy.

The wife made the decision to switch from Optimum to Fios. I was not happy at first, loosing the Outdoor Channel. I then discovered that Fios has the Pursuit Channel. After a solid week of watching it, I like the programming better on Pursuit. Anyone else watch that channel?

One of the guys from my club land up in Delaware was hunting there the last few days. He swears new rubs are showing up on trees that were not previously rubbed. He texted pics and some were still oozing sap. Seems a bit strange that this would happen now.

Its not bedding they bed the other side of the road or in the river bottom. Its a funnel to feeding.

I wish, it gets into very shallow creeks and piss streams, some just a foot wide and a few inches deep. Feeds tidal marshes to Northeast of the stand a 1/4 mile away. The bottom itself where my stand is is think with scrub oaks and briars. Lots of swamp maples and some clump birch. Its a nasty area.

I'd like to, but the spot is the spot and I can't really change the stand spot. Maybe hunt another area for a while and let it settle down?
