  1. Thanks for the help guys...

    I'll be checking the weather and movement for that week and we will see. I have a doe in the freezer from this Saturday so I'm in no rush to pound the area for the next week or so. I was also able to catch this fella on my train cam opening weekend.

  2. I think I would a little causious because of the 60# min draw weight if you shoot around there give or take. I'm not very fond of $49/3 price tag either. All in all not that impressed with them. I like the fact that I can shoot the practive Rage and field points without any problems though.

  3. and how much notice do you have to give employer? do you have flexibility to wait until we are closer to see what weather is doing or does it have to be decided this week?

    they are pretty flexible so I can keep an eye and the weather and trail cams to see what's happening. I was just wondering what the opinion out there was.

  4. I use the older 2" model and have not be that impressed. I lost a dear lost weekend. Although I made a poor shot I expected better performance from them. Very very light blood trail coupled with rain didn't help. This past weekend I shot a good doe, pass through shot, great blood on the arrow. Again very light blood trail...I started to panic... I eventually found the deer, but the exit wound was plugged with a ton of internals hanging out. Has anyone experienced that?

  5. So I just found out that I have 4 day of vacation time available I have to use before the end of the year. What is the general opinion on the rut? I have heard rumors of they are starting the chase phase now. What do you all think is the best time to take time off?

    Thanks

  6. I'm only starting this thread because I need to say I'm sorry. After almost 30 of hunting I lost my first deer. I know probably take some sh*t..... I shot a good doe at about 7:45ish... pass through shot, quartering just a bit to me. Arrow covered is green.... liver! I only had a spars 30 yard blood trail. I waited an hour or so, did the grid, then half circles every 5 then 10, then 15 yards. Nothing...then rain...called deer search waiting for them to get back. Just wanted to get it off my chest... not that it helps.

  7. I went on a hog hunt a few weeks ago in SC. I walked in the dark, through a swamp, in thigh high water to a blind. The sound was defining .... plus watching out for cotton mouth... alone! Not much up here to worry about. I do remember being surounded by panting dogs once though. Good luck all.

  8. I haven't checked this season, but I believe the rule has been portable, non permanent stands that had to be removed with in 30 days after the end of the season. Also, I have had both stand and cameras stolen from state and private land. ...
