Crossbow consistency problems - need advice
Hock3y24 replied to Curmudgeon's topic in CrossBow Hunting
Check out nap slingblades, there $20 for 3 after rebate at dicks right now. I've had great luck with them. -
Browning model 127, and a sog switch hunter. I found the browning by a gut pile one year and that thing gets scary sharp with just a stone. the sog has a bone saw and i just cut through the pelvis with it.

i had bird shot whizzing over my head oct 1 in my stand that's down like a 100 foot drop. 4 18 year old kids were surprised to see me come out pissed off but i decided to use it to educate them on where they are shooting and that there are people out here bow hunting.

my new .243 shot a 3 shot group of 95 grain whichester silver tips. .42 inches. I'm happy. i am going to keep a few barnes copper ttsx in case i set up in a stand with close shots. -
This right here ^,either way right or wrong if caught more than likely there will be a ticket issued. It would be your money spent fighting it. The DEC rules and regs book was written so long ago it gives them a ton of leeway.

4 day weekends start next week for 4 weeks straight, perfect timing. Going to by long hours waiting on the right buck.

Took another slickhead, she was with a spike. Crap shot caught liver and tracked her after 4 hours. Dead right by the creek where i thought she would be. Time to wait on a big buck now that my freezer is pretty full.

I have a problem with over estimating distance, it’s tough but if it was easy everyone would do it.

7p nice buck harrasing does, 7s spike walking with a doe

To me it sounds like your hunting this area a lot, i have found that switching area or properties every few days multiplies the amount of deer i see by a lot. I know its not possible for everyone though.

Had a spike horn come out at 70 yards tonight in the usual spot all the deer do, grunted at him to mess with him and got him to 20 yards. That was fun. Iv'e seen deer on all but 4-5 sits this year, and i've hunted all but 5 or so days.

Below the knee I use the “shanks” in a crock pot with veggies, they fall off the bone.

Take it, leave a note.

i used eye of round and trim all the fat off. or you can just get any lean non marbled cut, also you can get lean ground beef if you want but tends to be more expensive, you want as little fat as possible or it will go bad quicker.

cabelas peppered jerky mix, half beef and half venison jerky is phenomenal, i make it in 10 lb batches.

7s/7p- bucks split up, most movement is in the cooler a.m. periods or last half hour of light Rubs and scrapes popping up all over now.

young bucks are chasing does around already, i had a 2.5 yr old 8 pt around this afternoon in my stand, he was tempting but 60 yards out anyway.
