sometimes yes, sometimes they create illness...

Id go broke if I paid someone to cut my deer. My dad taught me on my first deer how to butcher it, and out of the 50 or so deer I've shot I've only had two processed. My first bow kill in 2012 (75 degrees out) and my PA buck last year ( I was tired and had to work/ got warm out, might use them again as they did an outstanding job for $80). I can have a deer skinned, boned out and vacuum sealed to my standards in about 1. 5 hours. Grind meat tossed in the fridge or sealed in a bag and frozen and do multiple deer at once.

ill stick with using my immune system. thanks! lol
-
Yah, Dec says it don't matter, i have a real strange feeling it does. If you have high/high odds and a ridiculous amount of people get that zone, the tags will be gone sooner even under a lottery system. I now always get mine early and have no issues. -
A couple in there id shoot. perfect staging area before the field. stand is 30 yards away.
-
Get a few epi pens and keep them everywhere, I used to be allergic to bees as well ( the sting is 10 times worse than the shot even before the reaction). I got stubborn over the years and have been stung multiple times sense and waited to see if i had a reaction before epi and nothing.
-
damn i'm cheap. $20 and 20 minutes at my local church and it was done. LOL

Look who’s been hiding behind my house.

This is southern tier zone 7 we searched every other water source around multiple properties and found nothing that day. The weird part is the same area we’ve found a random dead opossum before and also a raccoon.
-
A friend just found this on his property, hope it’s not ehd. I told him to search all over by water and contact dec.
-
My tags came via usps today, which coincidentally is the earliest over ever had all my ny and pa tags in hand. Time to start getting my gear ready!
-
I move a pa stand last weekend to the atv trail with apple trees, they are absolutely loaded this year.
-
My friend puts out “bird” feeders on 6ft poles in front of his hunting blind in his backyard. Technically not baiting since it’s “out of reach” of the deer. (He don’t ever kill anything anyways )
-
Yeah, I have killed some deer out them, but I bought an xop hangon I can throw up in my ladder stands and hop right onto. Makes any set a double also.
-
Havnt found a single ladder stand id bow hunt out of. I shoot most deer with a bow sitting down, the damn metal rails are always in the way of the bottom cam.
-
IMO your vanes are only their to correct your broadhead and arrow flight ( almost like a nerf football) , I can think of a single instance where id want the front of the arrow possibly working against that. You maybe have got lucky and found something that worked though. Proper FOC, tuned bow, Proper spine arrows. Paper tuned, walk backed tunes, Bullets every time. These would ba an absolute disaster to sharpen also, i don't even goin into the field with factory sharpening anymore.
-
Their okay, I wouldn’t use them without a drop away. And their pretty fragile if you put them through a ribcage. I’d use them again in a pinch.
-
Broadheads don’t create spin, your fletch pattern does.
-
IMO the course is essentially useless without a mentor afterward for a kid. Neither of my nephews remember a thing from that class even in person. Another thing PA has got right compared to NY, allowing kids to hunt and learn with a mentor before the class is required at 12.
-
I think in the last few years between myself and my coworker we have shot about 15 deer with them. I don't see myself ever changing. I bought the stay sharp system for them too. I had to have one warrantied I shot into a tree and broke pulling/ cutting it out. New head in m mailbox two days later with a truck decal and a hat.
-
My wife’s tags came in the mail today but mine didn’t even though I ordered 5 minutes later. 7p and 7s. You bet I had her sign over the 7p already lol.
-
Magnus black hornet, lifetime warranty. They don’t spin straight or you break one, you email the owner and he sends you a replacement. stay sharp sharpening system.
-
They say that, however with a new surplus of hunters zones could fill up faster than anticipated. I know speaking on pa, where doe tags are first come first serve, they are FLYING off the shelf compared to last year.
-
My shop 2 miles away Charges $1 an arrow to cut and square. So i haven’t bought one lol.
-
Maybe, I moved the cam but didn’t even think of that!
