Too bad, time to pull the plug on this one. Gotta take mom to the airport so she can leave this beautiful weather for a miserable 80 degrees. Saw 2 doe at about 60 but they never came in but a weird fog did. Couldn’t see more than 20 for a bit. O well. Back at it tomorrow. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wish I could help, but I'm on the Island. Def sounds like something I would like to get involved in, when I'm not fishing, which is almost every free moment in the spring/summer lol. There are a lot of guys on here that are friendly and very knowledgeable. I am sure someone will know something.

I like semi-sneak but the full sneak looks really cool -

Which pose do you think is the coolest? Which pose do you prefer to do? -

Dude! Beautiful work. Nice buck, too. Love the hole in the antler. -
I saw a youtube video of some guys using the "double rope technique" to get up the tree with the saddle. Didn't take much time at all. Obvsly took more time than a ladder stand or maybe even a hang on, but way faster than a climber. I agree with @NFA-ADK and am concerned with shooting stance and it looks like long hours in a saddle may begin to hurt hips and maybe even knees. @bruno1 have you used one? How is it in crooked trees?

I was looking for a How To thread for doing a Euro and after reading this, I don't think I mind paying for it lol. Question...How does the pressure washer get the brain out?

I miss my bike but I almost died every time I rode it. I was the idiot that passed you so fast on the highway it scared you. This is a topic for another thread, sorry to derail this one. Was unintentional. -

I think I failed to make my point lol. The question was about the diamond. Its a good bow at a low price and can grow with the archer if that is needed. Smith Point Archery is a good shop but maybe pricey for their higher end stuff. NFA-ADK is right on target. Just don't want to see someone make the same mistakes I made. -
That's kinda creepy

If we are talking dirtbikes, a 250 is more than enough to kill you. I started on an 80 then moved up gradually from a 125, to a 250 then a 500 and went back to the 250 because the 500 was too much for the woods. When i went to street bikes, I jumped right on the biggest Honda available because I was experienced (900RR at the time). Conversely, when I purchased my first bow, I went straight to the Matthews because of my experience with my shotgun "collection". When i first started hunting, it was duck over the bay. Just a way to extend the fishing season, so to speak. I got a Winchester pump in black synthetic. After being in the blind with several ppl convincing me the birds would flare off when they see the black (although I killed plenty with it) I decided I wanted a camo gun...Got the Benelli Nova pump in camo. I used that until I got tired of occasionally forgetting to cycle the action, consequently missing the follow up shot. Then came the Browning Gold Duck Commander edition semi auto. Problem solved until I took that pheasant hunting. Man did that gun get heavy fast! Next up Browning Synergy Feather o/u. Can carry that thing afield for days without problem, until it is time to shoot slugs at deer...Savage 220. I say all that so you understand I didn't want to end up with 18 bows before I was happy. I walked in and said what is the BEST bow in the shop? Shot it, accessorized it, brought it home. Not everyone will wanna drop that kind of loot on a first bow (and still my only) but I knew this was something I would be doing until I was too old to draw. My son on the other hand...what if he decides after one season of practice he isn't in to it and i dropped over 2k on his bow? Coincidentally, I got rid of the bike when my wife got pregnant with my first. He needed me alive more than I needed to ride. I never went anywhere less than 85 and usually on one tire. Man I do miss it sometimes tho. -
Nice!! Now how do I convince my wife we are moving to Livingston County lol.
