Happy Easter!

Sums it up. Scary.

Very cool!

That's sucks!!! I hate poachers.

Compound, it is easy to adjust for different ranges, lighter than the crossbow and more accurate than the long or recurve.

30-06 the most versatile load I have! 55 grain and up! But I mainly hunt deer. Bow would work for everything else.

Interesting. So any hunter who gets a 3.5 or older buck in NYS MUST be an excellent hunter because this is the worst state to hunt deer! I always thought NY hunters were smart, they must be if they are taking deer in the hardest place to hunt in the USA!

Looks awesome! Very nice! I want one, lol.

I would keep at least 2 pins, one for 25 and one for 35. For me and my bow anything under 15 yards I aim an inch low and use my 25 yard pin out to about 28-29 yards. I have a 25, 33, 43, 53, 63, 73 yard pins. 270 fps Nothing wrong with using one pin as stated but 2 pins makes lining the bow up easer than just using the bubble alone. With that fast of a bow and just shooting to 35 yards you should have no problems as long as you adjust your aim for long or short shots. You should really try shooting some long distance, it is not that hard if you shoot well and dam it, its just FUN!!! Plus it will make that 35 yard shot seem so much easer! I shoot 3 times a week when healthy and conditions allow and shoot out to 73 yards so I do more shooting than hunting hence all the extra pins. I am really contemplating a single pin adjustable set on 25 for hunting as the sight picture is much better and easy to compensate without moving it yet perfect for target shooting accuracy as the sight picture is the same for 10-80 yards. Otherwise the one guy I know that shoots with one pin says its great and he only shoot out to 30 yards. He has taken many deer. Good luck and try a 3D shoot they are fun especially with the right group of people!

That is too cool!

What a winter! I told my friends any 1.5 + deer you get this year is a trophy because it survived last winter!

Happy B-Day! Hope you are out having fun!

Sounds like they have some issues.

That is awesome! Hope you have a great year! Good luck!

Very nice!

Welcome aboard! Great site with great people, enjoy! Glad to have you!

My average gun is about 30 yards with 65 being the longest and a few feet the shortest. Most area's I hunt you can't see past 80 yards. (ADK Still hunting) Bow I would estimate most shots are about 20 on average with most shots in the 15 yards or less and a few long shots up to 60 yards. (LI Public Land still hunting) In a tree stand for the first time this season in many years my average bow shot was 25 yards. (LI private land) 30 yards if I go back to when I first started bow hunting from a tree. (Private southern zone)

http://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/7844.html Dec web site to find places to hunt. If you want to be sure about the regulations call the local DEC that covers the area you plan to hunt. Good luck be safe.

I have been thinking about going over to the dark side! lol I shoot a Mathews now but I have been checking out the Energy 32 and the Synergy, I have been hearing nothing but good thing from users and testers. Seems like they really have a great bow! Nice shooting! I think you are ready for a 3D shoot!

Nothing wrong with having a spare in case you drop one, like that never happens. My back ups are 30-30 and 30-06 for my 44 Mag.

Cold harsh weather usually leads to hard times that causes deer to loose the antlers. I would think in area's with high deer and doe population the testosterone in their system might make them keep antlers longer as breeding is extended. When the levels of testosterone go down it causes the antler to fall off. Photo period has a big effect on them but testosterone overrides that it seems.

Nice mule deer! Congrats, mounts look great!

I hated those poles, the fish would always pull the bait before I could set the hook. Then I used a normal pole and actually had fun. Great poles if you want to discourage them! Good luck, I would just use a tree branch they work better.

Ugly!

Done, good luck guys!
