Shot it this morning ,shooting way low got it dialed back in but not sure the problem i never dropped it or anything and everything is tight

Yea I just changed the broadhead i shoot a muzzy 4 bld fixed all 4 blades were all banged up I’ll check the zero tomorrow morning with my target I suppose I could have hit a branch ?? if the zero is dead on tomorrow I lick my wounds and go again at least I didn’t wound him

Now to check my zero tomorrow

Decent 8 , wouldn’t come into the woods closer .. watched him awhile , finally stepped into a clearing about 40 yards Put the 40 yard mark on him , pulled the trigger ..he squatted down , ran about 10 yards , turned and looked into the woods toward me .. walked back to where I shot him and started eating grass . I looked him over and no blood on his body. i knock another bolt , it looked like he left , I climbed down and he’s there looking at me then he turned and lopped up thru the golden rod I found the bolt just laying in the grass . Nothing on it at all.. This thing was dialed in .. I’m gonna recheck tomorrow at 40 yards so what happened

Absolutely what ?

I’m thinking the rut is not on here ( fingerlakes ny) too early ?

But the rut isn’t on now right ? isnit too early for estruses drag ?

When will the rut be on full force ? These bucks just seem to be walking around .. I’m wondering if it’s too early for the estrus drag scent

So my main stand is on a ridge with a valley and creek behind me , in 50 yards inside the woods on the edge of a golden rod field. I’ve killed 4 bucks in the last two years out of this stand . Now the last three nights I’ve had some nice bucks just out of range that don’t seem to come in close enough. And they are always in different spots , last night one was behind me , one just outside of the woods , one on my fat right in the woods . I tried a drag scent of code blue but they don’t seem interested . I had a big 8 last night just out of crossbow range , he stopped , looked up like he saw me …locked on for a minute , then laid down. I haven’t been busted that I know of . wonder about soft grunts ? Haven’t seen any rubs or scrapes to speak of. The strip of woods I’m in is between two bean fields that have just been cut

Do you just aim center both front to back and up and down ?

So I assume more risky with a crossbow than a rifle due to the impact ?

I know there’s much differing opinions re this shot . I’ve never taken it but twice now I passed on a decent buck that offered only that shot . Once with the crossbow at 30 yards and once with a .243 at 50 yards. I’ve been told it’s a one shot and they are down ..but I’ve heard others say not to risk it .. Curious as to anyone’s actual experience and if they’ve used it was the shot placed center neck ?

I missed it but saw bits and pcs What I saw she never answered a single question

The trouble is many conservatives don’t vote ….

They say most accidents happen going up and coming down.. others when the stand itself fails

Unless the stand fails or stand straps break

Ladder stand ?

So you just hook up at the top ?

I’m super paranoid so I’m harnessed and hooked to a lifeline before my feet leave the ground. Then I’m also hooked to a tree strap as soon as I’m seated. I see lots of guys that don’t use lifelines for ladder stands

Buddy said he saw a monster yesterday chasing does kinda early isn’t it

On a friends trial cam ,, NY Adirondacks

No longer can see the property lines or owners names etc ??

I feel like I should be out with the bow but these 75 deg days aren’t putting me in the mood

Went there today and dropped off some items. Man this place has tons of stuff All online auction , over 400 guns this month but lots and lots of sporting goods

And ? Good or bad ?
