I used body bags when I had a suv, hack saw off feet first. -
Recovery rate with your bow (poll, but names not public)
Hock3y24 replied to Core's topic in Bow Hunting
regardless of your percentage, keep improving on what you did wrong last time and it will go up! I was more confident that ever this year and still jacked up a shot. Everyone messes up a shot as some point and as long as you give that animal everything you have to find it your fine by me. Nothing is wasted in nature. -
i HATE latter stands for bow, i smacked a cam off one before trying to shoot a doe. i now have a hang on just above and to the side of my ladder stands so i have a double set in each spot and i do have to buy ladder sticks.

Do You Support Crossbow Full Inclusion into the NY Archery Season?
Hock3y24 replied to tughillmcd's topic in CrossBow Hunting
Personally no, however i will not object if enough people push for it. To me a cross bow is not a bow, therefore should not be an "archery" kill. I'm sure people said the same thing about a compound when it happened though. 1) Do you support Full Inclusion of Crossbows into the NY Bow Season? no2) Do you want to see the arbitrary restrictions on Draw Weight and Limb Width removed? not sure 3) Do you believe crossbows should be permitted to be used by everyone in all Archery Only areas? no 4) Do you believe we should be using the Bow Privilege instead of the Muzzleloader Privilege? no 5) Are you a current 2018 NYCC Member? no -
I've been sitting by 6am. sun comes up a few minutes later each day!

my 30 yard pin is used if i'm on the ground within 8 or so yards. you gotta account for the difference between your sight picture and actual arrow path. For sure low, a clean miss is never a bad thing though!

Well after a crappy morning hitting one in the brisket and stomping all over my small urban hunting area looking for her i was not expecting much this evening but knew that deer are all over here. 530 pm i have 3 does coming up from down wind of me... not good. They have no clue i'm there and the constant noise of people driving by and getting home from work keeps them distracted. All three start feeding on my clover mix 20 yards in from of me and i have plenty of time to pick my shot, quartering away 20 yards.. smacked her, drilled opposite shoulder. she didn't make it 35 yards on a dead spring. Arrow and Broad head are toast but was well worth it. After this the other two deer continue to eat the clover under me and have no care in the world, i would have shot another but decided not to due to time restraints so i just started snapping photos and videos. Got to see some cool deer communication with bleats and such. Had to have wife and kid go for a walk to my stand and jump them outa there( they literally trotted 50 yards and just watched us), let the 5 year old track with a flashlight and he did pretty well. A blind man could follow this blood trail.

Well got the neighbors permission at 4, jumped her again, checked the bed and there was only a few drops of blood. She looked to be in good shape, hopefully no infection.
-
I’m going to check with the neighbor when they get home from work if I can check, I have a general direction where she went. I marked last blood also.
-
I’m close to a mile now and out of land to push. I also heard to push muscle and or 1 lung hits, but I don’t think I even caught lung and just muscle somehow.
-
There blood, i tracked her, no bubbles, no squirting. Jumped her 100 yards later, checked her bed and saw same. Followed her anyway and there was not much blood at all.
-
I just tracked her to confirm my fatty arrow and lack of blood, brisket hit. Not happy.
