I wouldn't shoot doubles . Don't want to pull the garage roof down ! ??? ... ...

Well , that messes up the Head Cheese ! ??? ... ???

Yeah , that looks like a husky buck ! Congrats

I carry 6 . 4 arrows with 100 gr RAGE 2 balde and two with target tips . After sitting for a long time and stiffening up , I sometimes kill a couple leafs !

I thought I would post this here and then move it to the DIY forum as I don't think too many check that out ........ http://s271.photobucket.com/albums/jj146/parker-bows/Forum%20Stuff/?action=view&current=Winch.mp4

I did a search 1st to make sure this hadn't been asked before . How many arrows do you carry in your quiver when you bowhunt ?

I often wondered how good and how long a deer's memory was . For instance , you walk to your stand in the dark and spook a deer . Does the deer remember that spot and avoid it or approach it with caution the next time ? If a deer spots you in a tree , does it remember that spot and avoid it ? Curious .....

Welcome to Hunting NY . I hadn't heard of the Empire Site and found this site by GOOGLE-ing ........

Welcome aboard . Post away !

Excellent videos ........

I wasn't talking very loud in the video as I wasn't sure if there might be a deer standing in the laneway when I got there . Mumbles !

I was carrying mine in a black cloth bag but decided it was easier to wear the HSS . I have a stand that is over 1/2 mile walk and it was no problem . I roll up my top or jacket and attach it to my backpack . When I get to the stand , I take the harness off put my jacket on and then put the HSS on over my jacket . No problemo !

Had a real crappy day . I was in my stand in Groveland at 6:25 am . Heard a loud banging noise about 8:30 and saw a 4 point crossing through the woods quickly . Heard more noise . Turned around and saw 3 trucks with trailers driving in the field behind me . They were cutting up and loading scrap metal from old farm equipment that had been auctioned off . The hunt was ruined so I left and visited with my mother . Since I was in the area , I stopped down and visited with Heatmizzer . Went down to a stand in Geneseo and sat from 2-6 pm . Didn't see a thing ! ??? Got down and looked toward the south end of the field and saw 3 deer . I stepped into the laneway but the leaves were noisy so I crossed into the adjacent field where the soybeans had been removed . It was a quieter walk . There was a buck standing across that field at least 200 yards away . If I had a crossbow , I could have shot him . : He stood there and watched me as i continued up the field . When I got to the gate at the Laneway , I nocked an arrow . I took about 5 slow steps . One of the fawns apparently spotted me and bolted and all 3 took off . So much for bow hunting ! I took pics with the bino cam but the subjects were too far away . http://s271.photobucket.com/albums/jj146/parker-bows/?action=view&current=10-20-10Sharyns.mp4

Oh yeah , the deterrant works great . I started to climb into the stand and realized I didn't have the key with me . I had put the key in a jacket I left in my car 1/2 mile away so I used another stand . Duh !!!

I carry a larger size pin that what came with the stand . Even plastic tubing would work with your method . ')'>http://www.downsouthhuntingforums.com/images/smiles/smiley-faces-toast-beers.gif[/img]

I think there is much more hemmoraging and meat loss with gun shot deer . Pass throughs with bow kills don't seem to be as bad . http://www.downsouthhuntingforums.com/images/smiles/2cents.gif[/img]

I heard about 8 shots between 2 and 5 pm today . Sounded like shotgun . I was on Lima Road in Geneseo and the shots were coming from around avon Rd ...... ???

Nice job ! Let's hope it was the same deer and he came back to let you finish the job .

Congratulations .........

Drove down to a friend's property in Walworth and sat in a stand for 4 hours . Nothing happening . It was the most boring 4 hours in a long time ! The woods were very quiet !

Nice bear Slugger ! http://www.downsouthhuntingforums.com/images/smiles/beer.gif[/img] http://www.downsouthhuntingforums.com/images/smiles/beer.gif[/img]

If I had an arrow nocked with my bow in the tree , i'd leave the quiver on the ground . You only need one arrow . : Probably by the time you tied the knife on and fished , you could have climbed down and got it quicker and with less movement .

I realize you used the gut hook for a different task but I never cared for the guthook . I bought one of the Gerber Metolius E-Z Open knive and it's like using a zipper . The back o f the blade is flut and rides over the intestines . Works GREAT !

Took a break today and didn't go out ( yet ) . My back is killing me from sitting in a stand for 3 days . Not sure yet about this afternoon .
