Yes ...........

I have one of these in my garage somewhere . I forgot all about them . I haven't had to butcher a deer in a few years as I have left that up to my oldest son . Thanks for the reminder .

Hunted at Geneseo in the afternoon with a son and grandson . Saw 3 doe and 2 different fox while I was sitting in my stand . It was very windy and cold . My son called me at 5:30 and said he had hit a doe using his recurve bow and single bevel arrow but hit it back a ways and needed help tracking . It went quite a distance on the neighbor's property but finally found it .

THe video is probably too long for most people but it is quite informative . My oldest son has been shooting a recurve for several years and has shoulder pain . He said the video explains why !

A lengthy video by Tom Clum sr . Explains mechanics of properly shooting a bow and avoiding shoulder pain by doing it wrong . https://youtu.be/nr3F96kqv9k?si=zD_0YRfu7bquRwoV

Sat in my blind at my son's property from 3 - 6:30 . Didn't see a thing . On my way home on route 64 , I almost hit a doe that ran across the road in front of me . I never want to get a deer that wat .

My son is sick and can't go hunting . Covid test came up negative . I will hunt his property in Mendon / HF . Here is a picture of his back yard . I won't be hunting from that blind .

Hunting on Public Land -- after the sun comes up

I plan to do an afternoon hunt Saturday in Geneseo . I don't do an all day hunt as I don't feature getting up at 3am to do an all day . Buck or doe - no preference .

My 1st deer ever with a bow was a 6 point buck . I got him with a neck hit . I was in a permanent tree stand about 16 feet high , 3 bucks were together and I aimed at the last one . They were on a trail about 8 feet from the stand I was in . I aimed for the vitals but stupid me still had my quiver on . There was a 2X4 rail on the stand . When I released , the arrows in the quiver ticked the 2X4 and I hit the buck in the neck and he dropped on the spot . I took the quiver off and put a 2nd arrow in his vitals . I would never have the confidence to actually take a neck shot .

What a douche

They say most accidents happen within 25 miles of home . That's why I drive 50 miles away to hunt .

No . I don't use a treestand unless I have my safety harness on but I don't use a lifeline .

Did an afternoon hunt in Geneseo from 3 - 7 pm . It was pretty quiet . Around 4:30 4 doe came from behind me in the gully lot . My scent had to be blowing their way but they didn't appear to be alarmed . They went back the way they had come from and a few minutes later returned . They then crossed over and went into the corn not to be seen again . Later they were in the corn behind my grandson and got spooked . The they had come by me is about 35 yards when they were in the corn . No shots .

Congrats ! Looks like a load of meat on that monster .

From what I can see , you have to upgrade to PRO .

Went to Geneseo property with my son and grandson . I saw 2 big doe with the light from my ATV . i was in a stand in the woods by 6:15 . It was dark ! sat there until 11am and headed back to my car . We all sacked out for a while . I am no longer use to getting up at 3am to hunt . I had changed stands and sat overlooking a laneway , two corn fields and a gully lot . I had parked my ATV about 15 feet away from me at the laneway dead end . I saw a doe and 2 fawns behind me in the gully lot . They milled around and headed for the corn on my SILs property . Later I saw 3 fawns coming to the laneway one by one . two of them stopped and stared at my ATV . They came about 10 yards from my stand and never looked up . I was waiting for their mama but that didn't happen . Left when it got dark and headed for home 50 miles away .

I will be heading to Geneseo in another hour . Right now I have a headache and a pain in my back . I hope the back pain isn't the kidney stone acting up . Two of my sons and a grandson will be hunting the property with me . I just hope the deer won't be hiding in the corn all day !

I don't plan to go out until Saturday . I don't hunt unless I have someone with me . I didn't get to be 83 by being too stupid .
