I handled the one my buddy owns it’s pretty thin , that pic makes it look thicker then it is .

I moved a ladderstand , around Oct 19th , had to go through a thicket, it was loaded with scapes and rubs 8H . I may have hunted there once since , only saw flatheads .

This one , no experience with them, but I know three guys who love theirs , one had his at Letchworth the other day . On their web site, you can get 20% off and free shipping , I couldn’t get it into my “ cart “ and ship time is way longer it seems .

First shot with Xbow ,since last seasons kill . 20 yards , my 30 yarder was right on as well . There’s no first shot with Xbow so I put it here , waiting for purists to enter the room ....

I’m going to shoot my Tenpoint crossbow right now ! I’ll talk to the landowner ,on your behalf, if he says no, you can hunt our land across the road, nobody hunts that . The suns now out and my mood picked up considerably, so it may be another 10-15 years ,start sending me gifts each season ,that’ll keep you at or near the top of the list .

I’ve actually considered stopping hunting the last few years , or just go on a nice day and shoot whatever walks by first . Sitka even with a 40 percent discount is hard for me to get over at this point . Christmas is coming up I’ll send you my size .

May be one in my daughters future, she’s ALWAYS cold ! Under amour , black Carhartt bibs, 97 layers and cold .....

Ya know I tried to search here and find that ..... I just ordered a Ororo heated vest . Three guys I know got them and love them , I recalled your post from last year but not the brand . That looks good if mine craps the bed , I’ll get that one .

Congrats SB ! You found the spot, way to stick with it . That drag will work up a nice appetite !

Alright ! I’m not a fan of hunting in the cold with cloudy sky’s ,particularly in bow , take a leak at next week, sunny , warm, low wind . I can stay all day easy ,I’ll be warm ,dry and mud free . I may even go tomorrow morning ( 27 ) just so next week seems even better .

Thanks , I’ve read a ton of reviews with , “how it fits “ but they’re all over the map based on the size and weight of guys , and they all say it fits perfect . Lol I’ve considered not hunting much anymore ,as I’m done with the cold .

Ok I, live nearby this home . The homeowner “ may “ have been involved in killing another hunter a few years back , dead guy was wearing an orange jacket, and moving through thick brush when shot and killed , shooter basically was let go . https://www.bizjournals.com/buffalo/blog/buffalo-law-journal/2007/12/geneseo-hunter-charged-in-almond-shooting-death.html This house is on a what looks like a few acres , gate, fence ,barn and so forth , rumor is a homeless guy was shot and killed , he’s been spotted many times in the area and some folks were giving him food . Rumor also is the shooting was not in the house , but an outbuilding .

Are any of theses brands sold in stores ? I’m always between sizes , my chest is way larger then my waist ,and I have short legs I need to try stuff on ! I know Sitka is at F/S . Interested in Firstlite but open to others .

Back home . Last nights hunt zippo, today’s rain started at 8 AM zippo again for me . We had 8 or so guys in stands , nobody saw much . I hunted the “ farm side “ on a ridge that lead to a corner of a farm field . 12 guys for the campfire ,which was great fun , all hard chargers . One retired Capt who doesn’t hunt came and cooked great meals for us . I brought the fellas a $100 bottle of whiskey.

Damn I thought you were proposing a trade .....

Left Letchworth early .... Nobody was seeing much ,we had idk 8 guys hunting another 4, there for the campfires . This morning was supposed to be ok till 11, rain started around 8 , and get worse as day went on . Regroup , turn it on next week .

Truck is packed, waiting for phone call to, head to Letchworth . Man I got a ton of stuff for two days......

I never pay attention to, it .

Seems like I’m going straight to the stand tomorrow, then we have a large group dinner that night . May have free time mid day Thursday . I don’t have a climber anymore just a LW hang on and sticks, wasn’t thrilled with lugging it in and setting up in the dark at times , turns out the guy who’s cabin I’m staying in has 7 stands all set up that I can at least hop in one or so .

I’m a natural sceptic , it’s just my guess till, proven wrong .

Bingo , it’s CGI . I dont believe the lungs can function like that once the sealed chest area is exposed .

It was Nov. 2nd, 2019 , proud participant !

Did not find friends buck . So he said the hit was very loud and penetration was poor ,I’m thinking shoulder bone and it’s basically ok . No blood, no arrow, no footprints , no hair, plus rain , so it wasn’t really a track . It went into the goldenrod field , buddy grid searched it on his ATV ,I checked the bushes and under the trees , in addiction to walking all the mowed paths looking for any sign ,nothing . I’d feel worse if I lost a good blood trail , or saw where it fell and got up, something that showed it’s hurt but nothing found .

I circled Eastview Mall on the way home !

Ok I’m getting up then and heading to my friends land as it hasn’t rained here yet ,and need to find blood . I’m not waiting for his text to leave .....
