    Last year was my first year with the xbow.. I feel comfortable out to about 45 yds... My mathews about 30 yds.. The advantage also is not having to draw when it's near freezing outside. I've definitely been busted trying to get my bow back after sitting there frozen for several hours

    I was born in 87 and can say i dont think I've ever used a pay phone before. Earliest phone remember was the finger spinning one which i don't even think was connected, just kept on the wall for entertaining us mischievous kids

    Nice deer. You're right it's a tough call, but I'm going with a thoroughbred of a 2.5 y.o... That's how we grow them in WNY! Lol congrats Moog

    Cool.... Couple years ago during bow I had a hay field full of about 15-20 deer about 100-150 yds away, and 1 coyote circling the field.. he was trying to get at the yearlings but the biggest buck in the group kept chasing him out of the field.. Thought that was pretty wild as well

    You did the right thing it's not even mid October yet plus it sounds like you have multiple bucks cruising already. I haven't seen a buck from a treestand since last year!!

    Really want to do a midwest whitetail bowhunt/crossbow hunt with couple buddies... Had someone tell me those bucks would be close to 300 lbs and would have to quarter them out in field if you didn't have a wheeler/utv. Crazy..
  10. JRod 8G8H
    Crazy. Unfortunately you wouldn't see orange in the dark. Poor decision

    A wet and windy day can let you sneak around pretty well.. I've had success doing it before

    Yep he's hooked get him a screenname! Congrats

    Nice.. That tall rack is cool looking
  14. JRod 8G8H
    All quiet in 8H tonight
  15. JRod 8G8H
    he would be huge if he found a hiding spot and lived another year but that's a shooter in WNY.... good luck

    85 acres to 4 people.. lots of places for deer to hide.... get an idea of the doe to buck ratio early on... I would consider their age instead of counting points, meaning the forks and baskets all get passes.. cause you could have a 5, 6, 7, 8 point 1.5 year old buck.. unless the freezer is empty then take em out! good luck sounds like a sweet deal
  17. JRod 8G8H
    shooter buck for sure.. smart buck lol... good luck!!

    Raining hard in Rochester out the office window.. If there's a break in the weather i will do a pm sit in some rain gear...

    Sitting in a tree line facing these hardwoods with good wind tonight. Didn't jump anything on the way in which makes me think they're feeding already.. Just waiting on the stragglers now...
  20. JRod 8G8H
    man what an idiot... but if you stay put he might kick something your way. i once had a guy come to the base of my stand asking who i was and who gave me permission etc.., climbed down and everything to chat with this d-bag... climbed back up and 5-10 mins later had a shooter under my stand.. good luck!!!!
  21. JRod 8G8H
    agreed... light drizzle OK however I don't like my mathews in freezing rain... however i did read that deer like to feed on cold/wet veggies, it's a tasty snack to them... and I'm colorblind so I don't need any other disadvantage when it comes to finding blood
  22. JRod 8G8H
    posted up at my laptop currently, but at 4pm i will make a move into my stand which is 20 mins away.. deer been bedding in the swamp right behind our office building all year lol

    Been a few years since I've hunted out of a ground blind, but we have 40 acres with a couple funnels that still need to be covered.. Would a pop up survive the entire bow and gun season in WNY? Any tips on reinforcement from snow and wind?? What brands have you had success with and which to avoid??
  24. JRod 8G8H
    Looks like rain in Rochester tomorrow. Will sit after work for 2 hrs or so. Good luck all
