am i confused here? weren't we talking about shooting from a tree 15-20 feet up and where to hold? i was going to ask if you were shooting from ground level, that would make more sense but shooting from a tree stand and using that tactic i cant see working... at 3 yards on the ground you can use any pin and it would slide right where it has to be, its a lot dif when you had that angle in

glad it all worked out for him and he took the initiative to do his HW on the shot and also call them. very well played... congrats to him! its a fine buck

are you trying this at 20-30 feet in the air?? and what kind and how old is your bow?

1000% correct... was thinking the same thing. slower bows or older ones that philosophy may be correct but new faster bows your would miss the deer my feet. not even sure if aiming high with an older slower bow would make it right by aiming high, its simple math really...

i think temps are supposed to drop down for us this week boys, finally.... hope things pick up!

all morning by me in my sets... not afternoon yet and right before dark the activity starts.

Just to give you some insight on what it takes to shoot that close... My top pin (green) is what I call my tree stand pin, take note to how high above my 20 yard is. its dead on for those 5-15 yards and in. I can smash a golf ball everytime with it. It really takes the guess work out for me when their that close.

sounds like you hit high... i like those close shots but many guys use there first pin in most cases is 20 yards and its just not enough to compensate for the height in the tree and the shot goes high. try shooting at a 3d target from that height at 5 yards and see where your arrow goes, it will go way high. i have what i call a tree stand pin above my 20 yard or first pin. its only used for my tree stand and its good from 5-15 yards being dead on. i love those close shots but you have to practice it and have a pin either designated for it or know how to aim low with your first pin. the close range shots are only chip shots IF you know how to make them... i love em cause if done right they drain em out quick and you get blood immediately due to high entry low exit. good luck finding him but i dont know how that will go for you

you guys would look like you belong at certain clubs in the hamptons lol

congrats on the buck

LMFAO!!! i thought that was me for a minute he could be my mini me

Allen FTW!!!

Been on stand since 545am, had a great morning hunt but havnt seen anything since about 10am. I should rethought this all day sit lol, but you have to be in the woods to kill one. Hope things pick up real soon

Lol

Oh crap, where's doe and steve? Lol quick hide your veins joe

I swear by it too, it's the only product I use. It's a life saver in a bottle.

Oh wow, I hope your alright. Get that checked out ASAP

That's a good one, I like it

I'd set up a cam up high looking down or angles in the general area you think they are coming in from Or buy one of the broken trail cams that people get rid of for next to nothing, set it up a few yards from your stand and then put your good one high up facing that broken cam and see if you get them either stealing it or what not.

Tell him congrats!

Full moon yesterday and today, hunted no where near bedding yesterday in my spot where I missed that 130" 8 and did not see a deer. Today I'm hunting a dif spot right on the fringe of a bedding area and boy was it explosive. Had3 doe feeding and working through with my scent wicks out and all of sudden I hear the woods crashing and grunting as loud as can be, this 8 point was going crazy. The doe were runnin all over and then a few minutes later I hear that buck and another fighting like 50 yards away. After I had a doe and a yearlong work in then leave. All before 830am. When that buck came in I spayed some doe estrous in the air and that roweled him up even more.

Nice deer!! Congrats!

lol

its not a giant by any means, obviously a stud differs from person to person. my point is that deer appears to have some good genetics, ahead of the game so to speak for such a young deer. that 2 year old in the first pic wouldnt be a stud in my world but thats a nice deer as well, thats a solid 2 year old

nice pics, thats some scrape
