Biting good this morning.

I use a very small flashlight when I need it, with a few layers of red saran wrap between the bulb and lense. I'll hold my finger over most of the lense, to let just enough light out.
I'd rather use the moon and let my eyes adjust.
I don't really know if it matters though.
I think any deer close enough to see a small light focused right on the ground would most likely spook when you walked by anyways.

Come on people. I know it happens where a deer needs finishing, but do we need to discuss methods of dispatch on here, for the whole Internet to see?
We're already judged enough by the public.

I love snakes.
It's stupid and illegal to harm them.

Well I'm back in the same stand... upon further review with an actual rangefinder, the doe I missed was at 34 yards and I thought it was right at 40. I'm guessing it was a combination of misjudged distance and her jumping the string. This is the first summer I've been able to even practice beyond 20 yards so until now I've never shot at a deer past 20 yards so I never even thought about them ducking an arrow. Moral of the story is I F'd up and should've aimed lower. Gonna let the sun come up a little more before getting back on the blood trail for the one I did hit. Pretty down on myself for making 2 bad shots within an hour. I practiced hard all summer too and still messed it all up. Think the excitement just got to me

It happens. I emptied my quiver at a doe, one time. Never cut a hair.
I think practice goes out the window sometimes when buck fever hits.
Hope you find it.

Not a good night…. The short story is I had two shots at my target buck.. Wiffed once and I think I one lunged him the second time
Ok so he cam in the first time I didn’t see him because of how thick till he was 10 yards away walking away from me. I tried to draw and the arrow came off the d loop. I fixed it and drew I thought he had only walked to 20 but it was 30 clean miss straight under his heart soft quartering away
About 20 min later a small fawn came in and ate around the base of my tree I could see him looking back but couldn’t see at what. Then I saw the deers head poke out at like 7 yards. He could tell something was up and looped around the big oak to my right so backside shot, I used his time behind the tree to turn and draw. He stepped into a lane a 17 yards and I let it fly. Arrow hit high and just behind the shoulder blade from what I can tell. It hit the deer and nosedived into the ground. He jumped a few steps and then trotted off obviously hurt on his right side

Pineapple wheat,yum!
Where was all this fancy crap when I was a drunk? Why is it in the years since I quit, all these cool beers have come out?
Not that I want to go back. No way.

My Dad lives in Austria. He has friends that hunt. I guess it's very expensive. Way out of my reach.

I've never had an issue with ebay. If the seller screws you, they reimburse you.
Good luck.

Which scope do you have? Does it have the adjustable ring on it for the speed of the bow? If that got bumped way off, it could mess you up.

Here's 3 that stick out to me.
The deformed one is my favorite, I hunted him for 3 years. His rack didn't change much over that time. His left hip was all caved in like he got hit or something.
We only actually saw him once, but he was a regular on camera until he vanished last year. His name was Crazy Horn.
The other two were kicking around off and on for awhile. Idk if they're still around.
Naples, Ontario county.
