My oldest son and I plan to do an afternoon hunt in Geneseo today . It's a bit nippy out but you can't shoot them from the computer in the house .

They have that Knife , blades and pouch at Sportsmans Warehouse for $39.95 . https://www.sportsmans.com/camping-gear-supplies/knives-tools/knives/outdoor-edge-razorpro-l-35-inch-folding-knife/p/1369427

Congrats to Danny ! That's a Biggie !

Sat in a ladder stand today from 6am until 3:30 pm . I had enough for the day . Saw a doe through the woods at 8:30 then another at 9:30 . Couldn't get a shot . My 2 sons and grandson all got a deer . I failed . When I got up to where I was going to park my ATV , I saw about 6 deer run into the cut down bean fields about 400 yards away . Got hold of my son to get hold of my grandson to let him know deer were headed his way . A short time later , bang . He shot a small buck . Almost forgot to mention , it was cold out !

Did you try EBAY ?

It's 36 degrees in Geneseo right now with a NNW wind . The wind direction will pretty much be blowing toward my face .

Thanks . I actually hit where I aimed ...........

Not much of a rack but at 82 years old , I can't be picky . One for the freezer .

Went down to my oldest son's property in Honeoye Falls to give it a try . I was in the blind at 2:30 . About 3:30 , a small racked buck with a decent size body showed up around 20 yards from me . I put the 20 yard dot on him and took the safety off . The safety made a click sound , the deer heard it and looked my way . When it turned it's head I pulled the trigger . This was the 1st time I ever had a shot at any deer with the crossbow . The deer bolted and took off in the direction that it came from . I found my bolt as the shot was a pass through . I couldn't spot any blood . I had called my son and he was on the way home . He told me to wait for him . Matt and Blake ( grandson ) came out and we started looking for blood . Speck here and there . Matt spotted it in the neighbor's woods about 30 yards onto that property . Recovered the deer and Matt should be butchering it right now . I doubt that I would have found the deer without help . Shot the deer on the left side with a Rage Expandable .

I am going to do an afternoon sit on my son's small property in Honeoye Falls . This will wrap up a disappointing bow season for me .

Too funny not to share .

I have a pair of blaze orange camo pattern trousers that I use to wear . They have a polyester lining . When I would wear them over my trousers , my legs would perspire and my trousers would get damp . Defeated the purpose of wearing them . My son bought a pair of insulated blaze orange camo bibs for me and they are cozy warm .

I have a couple of those muffs and never use them . They work great when you do use one with the hand warmers . By the way , BJ's Warehouse has a good price on hand warmers and toe warmers .

I think I found Wolc's Deer weight Girth chart .......

I have a camo Milwaukee heated jacket and a Milwaukee heated hoodie . I wear one or the other when it's cold weather . I have extra batteries for them . As for my feet , nothing works . I have Neuropathy and my feet always feel cold even in warm weather . Heated insoles do nothing as they aren't necessarily cold to the touch . They just feel cold .

It's available to go to and won't be moved . Since we haven't had any new members in a long time the members here know where that forum is and can access it . It's that simple . I check it a couple times daily .

Decided to do a midday hunt with my youngest son Nick . Was setup in my 2 man chair blind at 10 am . Sat there until 3 pm and never saw anything . The tree where my Cuddeback home camera was in had fallen over . I took another security box and relocated the camera . I took my hand held Milwaukee chain saw and recovered the original security box to bring home . I left the woods at 4 pm . On the way back , I saw a doe and a buck in the laneway . They took off across the neighbor's field . The buck stood watching me from across the field as I was driving the ATV slow . When I stopped he went into the woods on the other property . My son said he saw several deer on the way to his stand plus across the field . No shots for either of us . The only thing I got was a stiff neck from sitting in the cold for 5 hours . Bummer !

The woods are so quiet that you can hear a leaf drop. Sent from my SM-G975U1 using Tapatalk

Zombi starves to death in Washington DC . Can't find any brains .

Back when deer hunters were plentiful , the woods were full of scent wicks with Tinks on them . No doubt it got to the point where the deer ignored it .

I hadn't shot my X-bow before going hunting Saturday . I forgot how much effort it taks to cock it . I panicked and was beginning to think I couldn't do it when I was setting up in the dark but I got 'r done .
