What is your preference on stand height? Ive always been around 12-15 feet up. But am starting to think about 20ish. Thanks

Have good success? You generally stand up to take a shot with a bow? and what's your preference for height?

Ended up getting my first climber today. The cost kept me away for the longest but they were not getting any cheaper lol. I have ladder stands and hang ons and I always seem to not like the position or height choice so I figured a climber is the best way to stay mobile. And the deer patterns change so much around here when cold and rut comes in to play. If I didn't have a dinner date with the ol lady I would be testing it out this evening, Grrr lol.

Its nuts for me cause the best shot ive ever made to this day was my first bow kill doe years ago. Straight threw the heart she ran 25 yards or so and was done. That's the pro. Now the con is the first buck I ever shot and killed with my bow. Mis judged distance and ended up shooting low. I remember making a post on here about it and loosing sleep. I trailed that deer for 200+ yards of blood trail that started out so good I thought for sure I was going to find em with my every next step. He made his was to some marsh/swamp land and I lost blood. Found all bones and skull after the snow melted and I could see everything.

Ladder stand... Climber... Hang up ???

Back at it tomorrow. today was way to hot and muggy. Nasty out there

lots of rain my way. Didn't want to sit today out but looking like that might be the route im taking smh.

Running late on some hunting things. Been doing a lot of salmon fishing. Saw a spike opening day on my new property but passed. Lots of doe on camera few smaller bucks still getting the feel of the land. Good luck all

I agree 100% not to make a excuse for a poorly tuned bow, and that's not what i'm doing. You guys are missing my point! It may not be the bow and just be the broadhead. That's what i'm getting at. He said he just had the bow in a shop already. I have a brand new Matthews Traix everything is in sync for 100% and I bet that bow wont shoot a 3 blade muzzy in the same place as a field point. And ill give it a try tomorrow and post pics with honest results rather right or wrong.

A 3 blade muzzy and a field point are not going to shoot the same pattern im telling you. 55lb is plenty of pull to get good results. Id bet anything dam near if you sight your field points in and you are getting decent groups throw a rage or similar (I only say rage cause that's what I used so I am familiar with results) on and they will be grouped same as field points. I went threw the same problem. That's how I figured I knew what BH you were talking about. I had 10 different people tell me 10 different things. I switched from 3 blade muzzy to Rage and never looked back. Good luck. Find a friend that shoots rage or buy a pack give it a try.

De spite what everyone says they really don't shoot like a field point. Try a different broadhead before tuning anything. Rage shoots like a feildpoint for sure. Try that you will be good to go. im like 90% sure of it

What kind of broadhead? 3 blade muzzy?

I have zero other options other than to believe it. I mean, I read it on the internet it has to be true righttttttt???

Nice looking deer. Be in that stand before noon lol. And good luck

Yote. And yes smoke its boots first chance ya get.

It all comes down to personal opinion. But mine is rage 2 blade chisel chip. They are ruthless. But more important is shot placement. Hit the pump station with a sharp pencil and its over lol.

Nice. Any coyotes?

Great choice. Congrats

Sorry fellas I worded that wrong. 340 was the max speed of bow. With my set up im steady around the 285-292 give or take a few fps. 350gr arrow. Ive been shooting and adjusting as I go. Final set up it going to be 28 inch draw and about a half turn off from max 70lbs so say 68lbs. 350gr arrow and shooting rage broad heads.

Solid turn out for up there. All they need to do is pave the road off the main road cause boy I had a long trailer with 5 4x4s on it and it was a rough ride up lol. All in good fun to I just took my time

Engine that has Powerrrrr lol. Power steering is always nice as well. And racks for moving stuff. I own a few Polaris Sportsman and they are my go to machine. The 570 is a awesome machine. But I love my 1000xp.

Dam that's a good turn out. And she got that what looks to be can am working lol. Sick action pic.

Specs are 28 inch axle to axle. Draw set at 27. And pull is set at 65 give or take a pound. Went with the army camo and then added green strings and a green QAD hdx drop away. Getting 340fps. Smooth draw cycle and solid back wall. Stacks arrows at 30 yards. Just got my first 3D deer target so ive been shooting out at 50ish yards away with good results. Pics to come of the set up it looks pretty sharp.

Nice always a good time throwing some mud around. Ive been up there a few times nice place to ride and get away. Sat by those pines and ripped those few spots every time.

I have a two part question that I figured i'd make on thread about. Question 1. Anyone else noticing a high number of yotes around? Ive always had them in certain spots but seems their numbers are growing and they are coming closer and closer to city limits And two. Seems like a lot of late blooming deer still seeing baby fawns all over. Will most likely be covered with spots still on opening day of bow. Any one else seeing the same?
