How do you draw your bow when shooting from an elevated position ? I draw my bow straight out , align the peep with the pin , bend at the waist and get on target . It's probably extra movement but it works for me .

One of my daughters gave me a can of that for my birthday a few years ago . She said she bought it at Wegmans .

Remember , always respect your Pee'ers !

Well , I use a backpack . If I am going to walk 3/4 - 1 mile to a stand , I want everything I might need with me , I plan on being there for a while . I have a fanny pack in the backpack that has my knives , butt out tool , ty-raps , deer haul rope , gloves , towlettes , safety belt for the harness I am wearing and a store bag for garbage . I also carry a couple of lights , binos , range finder , camera , glasses , spare tree hooks , holder with tags , water , granola bar , extra release & arm guard , face mask , haul rope etc . I also carry a small bag with scent , scent wicks , and maybe scent burning sticks . I probably missed a couple items .

It's amazing how much food they can pack in their cheeks ! Neat video .

Your Majesty , how is it that you can't remember or recall anything but you can without a doubt remember that you did not send out any classified material in your e-mails ?

Don't know who your maintainance person is but we bought a gas stove to replace our wood burning stove from Williamson Hardware . They have been in the business for years . I have never heard anything bad about them . It might pay to get a second opinion . p.s. I have been to your home . You can afford the $1200 .

Let it go !

Where to shoot a deer when bow hunting .... from Deer & Deer Hunting

Yeah , I am hoping opening day will just be a quick morning hunt and I can head home early with a good size deer .

Opening day is generally an all day hunt / sit . Might change stands due to wind change . Hoping I will be physically capable of getting out opening day . This Friday ( the 23rd ) , I am going to have a extracorporeal-shock-wave-lithotripsy procedure to bust up a small kidney stone with shock waves . Apparently the kidney will be bruised and I will have a stent in place . I am hoping that I will be able to draw my bow and endure any discomfort . I had a different procedure done in the early part of the year so I would be fine for bow season . The urologist didn't get all of the damn stone on his 1st try . It's a 50 mile drive to my spot in Geneseo so I try to make it an all day stay .

I was at the Baytowne WalMart a few days ago . It isn't layed out like any of the other super stores and had a time finding things . I couldn't find any archery gear so I asked one of the Associates . He said they don't carry archery equipment because that store is considered a "City Store" . I said the abandoned store which is about 200 yards away carried archery gear so why not this one . I also told him that this new store sells gun ammo and other gun supplies . He didn't know what to say . Didn't make sense that they would sell bullets but not archery equipment . Go figure !

Sounds delicious !

You got that right !

Well , for the great shooters that choose to shoot deer with a 223 , all the more power to you . I don't take head or neck shots and will stick with a gun that will knock the snot out of deer . I use my 223 for woodchucks . This topic comes up every year and gets boring after a while . So , have at it .

I prefer to shoot while sitting and it has nothing to do with fear of heights . If I am already standing in the tree stand I would shoot that way but if I am sitting , I will not stand up to shoot . Less movement is better . I have a stand in the Pittsford-Mendon area that has a wooden rail with burlap camo on it and I have no choice but to stand to shoot . But , I discovered that I have to have my bow out and over the railing to shoot . I have been lucky that I havn't been busted by the deer but the stand is about 18' high and blends in well .

I install and remove Real Estate signs and cover quite a bit of area . I havn't seen any of the fake Christmas trees tossed out in years .

Hildabeast and the media knocked Trump for saying it was a bomb right after the explosion saying it was too soon to tell . Then Hildabeast states it was a bomb . Double standards !

Definitely a backpack . I carry more than I need so I won't lack anything . I don't want my pockets stuffed that will make sitting uncomfortable .

If anyone wants to steal a blind or stand bad enough , they will take it . Even locks aren't going to stop anyone from stealing . What irks me is the low life that tears a stand apart on private property and tosses the parts or takes part of the stand to disable it . .

I just knew that had to be a Typo in the title !

I prefer sitting if I am shooting to my left or straight out in front . If there is a shot to my right , I need to stand so I have clearance for my elbow in order not to bump the tree with my elbow . I have a 10' high tree stand in my back yard that I practice from . I have to stand if shooting 30 yards as I have a cable that goes from a large tree o a post that my bug zapper is on .

Not sure where I will hunt opening day . Did some work yesterday helping my son cut some wood . Checked my cameras . Just like the past couple years , deer that I had been catching on a cam seem to vacate that area 3 weeks before Archery Season . I got pics of deer by a stand that I have in a Lane Way but they are there around 6 am every morning . No way to get there without spooking them . The Lane Way is also the way to get to the woods and my elevated stand by the pond . Fields on either side have soy beans .

Congrats to your grandson . He looks pretty big for a 12 year old .

I have had mixed success using deer decoys . I actually used a MacKenzi doe target to draw some deer in .
