I'm pretty sure I'm alone this morn. Except for the millions of squrill making all sorts of noise.
-
Anything I should consider before I start changing strings
-
Ya I kinda figured its not good to go ape schat on it. I'll have to get myself a bleat call. Is the can one any good
-
Do you guys think its too early. I've never used a call.

I been reading up on tuning and what not. I think I'm gonna replace mine when the time comes. My buddy said he would go in on a press and vice setup. I have a iceman and the bottom cam really eats up the string. I got it used from my dad and he had it two years and had new string put on at the end of each season. A pro shop in my area said 125 to replace it

A buddy wants to know if he should go with factory replacement strings and cables or aftermarket. And who makes the best aftematket

I think I figured out my issue. I was using a hostage pro rest. And the bottom brush was worn out really bad. Anyway I switched to a Apache drop away. Sighted it in yesterday. Got out the climber and shot out of that and everything seems to be good.

Well I just remembered I never sprayed myself down with scent away. I had a nice 6 pointer headed my way. He got about 40 yards away. Looked at me and sniffed me out. Than just headed causally back to where he came from. SOB

I usually practice from all my stands in the woods but the bow is six weeks old and didn't really get a chance
-
I did but it was only at around 10 yards with 6 arrows and I was dead on. I should have spent more time but my old man likes the woods off limits a month before season

All my years of bow hunting this is my first season I seen deer running around like kids playing. Last night I could three deer in the area my dad has his stand chasing each other around in the swamp that formed under his stand. About 50 yards away on the neighbors land there were 4 running around. Never even seen that many deer at once in a stand
-
As I'm sitting here thinking about it. I'm thinking it was deer fever. Last year was the first year since I started bow hunting I didn't fill my tags due to my daughter being born. And I just got so pumped with adrenaline yesterday I was shaking and couldn't calm down. This morning I had a nice doe 30 yards away and was able to draw on her hoping she would make it to the shooting lane. But her friend came running in and shr chased her around. Anyway I was a lot more relaxed and focused. And if it wasn't for the other deer I probably would be setting up the garage to start processing her.

I shot the bow for six weeks before the season. I had it tuned dead nuts the first week of having it. When I get done with my morning hunt I take six shots on my target in the yard. And before I head out in the afternoon I take six. I should practice out of my stands more than I did setting up target at diffrent scenarios. This year I just took a few at the "perfect world scenero. This is my four bow I owned and yesterday made me feel like i did when I owned my first. When I got my first all I did after school was shoot. And all I did in the summer was shoot. And when deer season I was putting the the old timers to shame. Lol. I'm sure having my first kid just before last year's season has a lot to do with it also. Hopefully next spring o can get a bow in her hand.

Tnx guys. Ya I know stuff happens but it still chaps my ass lol

This is my 8th year bow hunting. After a week shooting this bow I head it tuned dead nutz. However I looked at my old bow and I thought I set the pins to match. I some how mixed um up. So when I though I was using yellow for 20 like my old bow. The yellow on new bow is 30. I made a lil cheat sheet with yellow green and red tape on my bow with 10,20,30 so we will see how it goes. That and try releax and not get so fired up when I see a deer lol. Hopefully whatever I missed yesterday morn will travel the same path again this morn. I'm pretty confident it will cuz it didn't spook. And if I miss this morning again I'm gonna break out the old bow

Got in my stand around 5:45am today. For some reason I just couldnt settle in and be quiet. I was making all sorts of noise. Dropped my flash light three times. Had a serious coughing fit for almost a half hour. Finally got myself together about 6:45. Well 6:58 I see a huge brown body about 20 yards away. Trail was all flooded so I didnt even hear the deer coming. Still cant make out if its a buck or doe cuz of branches. Deer got to just the right spot to thread an arrow. Got the deer to stop I pulled the trigger and THUMP. Hit the tree that was about 6 inches to the right of it. Didnt even phase the thing. It just kept walking. Im hoping it will be taking the same path again tomorrow. Afternoon hunt got in around 4:30 and was a lot less noisy. 5:30 rolls around and I was getting a lil cold so I threw on my hoodie. Got it over my head and boom 15 yards away a nice doe. My bow was hanging on a tree within reach of my stand. Grabbed bow while the doe was staring at me drew back and pull trigger. Arrow flew right threw her front two legs. She jumped and turned broadside and sat there watching me grab a arrow from quiver, nock it and draw on her. I was shaking the whole time. This was the first time I didnt spook a deer by missing. Release arrow and flew right over her back. She took off running. Sat 15 min before getting down to make sure I didnt just think I missed. No blood. The last hour and a half of hunting I saw 8 deer all around me running around chasing each other. A really nice buck was with them. But none of them came within range. I never saw that many deer by my stand at one time. Idk why I missed. I practiced everyday since I got it 6 weeks ago. After the first week I was on the money. I just dont get it.
