    Found my arrow

    And another , found today while looking for crossbow bolt .... I used these arrows with my Golden Eagle, which I tossed 14 years ago .
  2. There will be none . A farm pest to be shot on sight ,and left there , nothing more .
  3. Uncle ! getting down swapping cards , hitting bow shop , The Other Half , heading home
  4. Hopes are for Thursday on , not full on chasing here yet . Two doe came by at first light, buck behind them walking back and forth he lost interest and walked away . The doe hung out for awhile then went into the bean field and stayed there for like ten minutes . Two doe came out of thicket and joined them , monster buck following , 4 doe and the buck just hung out for a few minutes then they all walked off . nothing now since 7:30
  5. That was one pissed off coyote.... he went into thicket , slowed up I thought he was going down at the edge . Blood showed he went in . Im not entering thicket at this time . Owner says shoot them all !
  6. 4 doe and a crazy racked shooter hanging out 100 yards away in cut bean field . you can kinda see the mass on this pic
  7. Just ran a Pythagorean’ theorems, 20 feet up deer at 60 feet ( 20 yards ) true distance to target is 63 feet . A non issue , since your bow shoots the same at 60 and 63 feet .
  8. He’s talking about with a crossbow, bend at the waist is moot . My testing , shooting from height , dropping my bow arm or bending at waist showed no difference in poi . Ya I know everyone says to bend at waist and by all means do , just for me doing both showed little to no difference. Try it yourself . How many have ?
  9. 32 years , bow hunting , I’ve never seen a range finder ,let alone used one, but to each his own . As TF said aim at the off side , “ that is “ where you want the arrow to come out . It helps to shoot in practice from height ,either your roof ,or a stand ,( practice as you hunt ! ) at a thin target so you can see how the arrow is positioned at the exit side . I use a 3 inch thick foam target , I tape a piece of paper in the shape of the vitals on the close side , you quickly learn the proper shot placement , for different distances and angles , to hit both lungs .
  10. That’s the rumor . That would be ok by me, although he may be a little dry . One reality show you’ll never see though is , “ The hot Women of Jeopardy .”

    Beer

    Other Half , Multi- Chroma ,with a Rocky Patel , and my Sunday carry .
  12. Awesome bucks guys ! I’m out of the game for a few days .
  13. Sad to hear . We watch every night , his replacement will always be just that , but I hope they pick a good one .
  14. Well that put a big smile on my face ! Congrats .

    Found my arrow

    That’s for shooting around trees, must have had it on the rest reversed ,zigged when it should have zagged .
  16. About 20 years later. Leaf blowing my trails ,there she lay, minus the three five inch feathers . Based upon the location ,and arrow , I recall this shot . A buck came out, I pulled the Golden Eagle back ,ready to send a two blade Mangus through the lungs, when whack ! The arrow is bouncing around his antlers , wtf ,I’m at a loss, then I see a small vine swinging a little . It’s the old “ I hit a vine / sapling “ excuse . I don’t know if the arrow bend is from the hit, or stepping on it as it’s on a trail , we’ve walked in and out on 100’s of times since . I remember that hunt well ,not just hitting the rack , but I was mentoring a kid, who’s since served in the Army, got married and has a family of his own now . Loved those Mangus two blades ,absolute bone cutting pass through killers , the only head , where I’ve had deer stand there after a pass through and look around ,till they tipped over . And yes that’s a hand painted arrow and crest .
  17. This one got up after ten minutes and walked off with two does .
  18. Republicans,Democrats,two sides of the same coin. Republicans take my money and give it to bankers and businessmen , Democrats take it and give it to slackers . Fortunately The republicans will take the Senate, they have the Supreme Court and gained in the house , so Biden’s big ticket plans have little chance . Meanwhile , we’re of the age where asset protection is as if not more important then growth, we’ve been taking steps over a few years ,and stepped them up of late , with luck I’ll pay less in tax then Warren Buffet .
  19. You and me both . I’ve hunted this spot 32 years both gun and bow , if I go 3 sits with no deer I wonder what went wrong, as I see 4-8 deer most sits . This year most sits zero deer .
  20. Yes it’s a snap, our daughter got tested when she returned from out of state, and just again because two people at a birthday party she went to got it .
  21. And another sit with zero deer , was going to hunt all day tomorrow, bagging not worth my time .
  22. Same here , although I decided to go out again for the last two hours today , so maybe not for long .
  23. Got my flyer yesterday . CHECK THEIR FACEBOOK OR CALL , before going . They are only taking venison every other day, due to covid ...... hours and day subject to Change . Here’s the flyer .
  24. We’ve been protecting assets and tweaking our estate plan for sometime in anticipation of increased taxes , means testing and so forth , another two, hour meeting with the lawyer Monday . This gullible asshole Will be sitting in the catbird seat , cheers !
