Awesome first week of the season and first deer down!
fasteddie replied to StevieSacs's topic in Bow Hunting
Congrats ..... I know many bow hunters , myself included , that aren't seeing much deer and havn't gotten a shot yet . -
You can make Jerky out of ground . All you need is a Jerkey Shooter . It looks like a caulking gun . http://www.gandermountain.com/modperl/product/details.cgi?i=401089 http://www.webstaurantstore.com/weston-37-0211-w-1-lb-jerky-gun-jr/9430211W.html?utm_source=Google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=GoogleShopping&gclid=CjwKEAjwns6hBRDTpb_jkbTv1UYSJACBhber3ARLghnznvh3oY-3Wa66qQIoqR8tqtGUFK3xLRtRMxoCBGjw_wcB

A Hub Blind has straps to carry it like a backpack but is uncomfortable to walk with . You could haul it along with a fold up chair with a golf cart or deer hauler cart .

I gave away a single chair blind as it was too uncomfortable and restricted the view . I replaced it with a 2-man chair blind and use it for gun hunting . I cannot conceive trying to shoot a bow out of it . I am only 5'8" and even the pop up blind like the Ameristep Dog House blind is too small because you have to stick the arrow out when you draw and can still hit your elbow on the back wall . The hub blinds are hefty and you need a folding chair but that's the way I would go . Most are easy to set up .

I don't care for Remington products but I have had good luck taking deer with Remington Express 120 gr Core-Lokt ammo . I have also taken a few with reloads using Sierra Game King 117 gr spitzers with Hodgden 4831 powder and an OAL of 3.155" . I recently purchased 3 boxes of Hornaday American Whitetail 117 gr Interlocks to try out ..... Didn't really need them but the price was pretty good . A 270 is an excellent deer round and less expensive than the 25-06 .

All my outfits were Olive Drab . I was in the Corps 1959-1963 . We weren't issued any camo .

This is what you have to do if you've had a DUI .......

I never climb into a stand without wearing my safety harness . One morning I climbed up , hanged my pack , pulled up my bow and put it on the holder with a nocked arrow . Sat back and relaxed . About 15 minutes later I moved and realized I hadn't fastened the harness to the tree safety strap . Duh !

I have always been leary about using the Doe Estrus too soon in the season but according to the posts , it sounds like it works for some .

Nice vid Zem . Thanks for sharing .

I was in my Pod Blind by 1:30 . Watched and watched and nothing . It started raining about 5 pm and quit around 5:30 . Shortly afterwards I spotted a couple doe through the trees at the north end of the soy bean field . Then they disappeared . A few minutes later I spotted a large white clump in the field and was trying to look through the thick stuff and then saw the head move . Holy Crap ..... what a great looking rack and a large body . He was out there for about 15 minutes , disappeared and was back for another 10 minutes . I thought , if I was only using my stand in the thick stuff I might have gotten a shot but would have gotten soaked . Then again , if I had been at that stand , the buck and does probably would have been by the pond . Well , there's always another day !

Morals/ ethics question: Does with fawns
fasteddie replied to turkeyfeathers's topic in Deer Hunting
Some farmers want you to shoot a doe before taking a buck or they won't want you back on their property . So , if you pass them up , you'd be looking for a new hunting spot . -
Did you buy that at Aldi's ? lol

When the going gets tough , the Tough go shopping .

This cracked me up

Checked the forecast and rain was expected this am . I will be heading out to Geneseo in a little bit . Rain is also forecasted for this afternoon but I expect to be in my blind by then . From previous experience I know deer will move in the rain and I have gotten a couple that way .

WnyBuckHunter ---- I had a good season a few years ago -
After you purchase $300 worth of stuff ( minus the tax ) you earn a $10 Scorecards Reward that is just like cash . You have to sign up for the rewards but it's free . Note about the $10 rewards ....... if you purchase something for less than the $10 , you lose the balance so shop smart !

Passed on an am hunt due to the forecast . Heading for Geneseo in about an hour . Rain forecasted a 1 pm and then again at 4 pm . I hope that Pod Blind doesn't leak . I wanted sooooo bad to go to South Bristol tomorrow but I have a Great Grandson being Baptized and if I went hunting I would never hear the end of it . I asked my grand daughter , " who the heck has a baby baptized during hunting season" ? She didn't like that .

Get those deer out of my garage ! -
Anytime I shop there I do the customer survey . Once that is done you can print out a $10 off a $50 purchase . The store is only 12 miles from me and I find their gear just fine .

Apparently the deer like the trim job I did down by my Pod Blind ............
