  1. I used one for quite a few years. They work great as long as you are above your target. I missed a buck once when hunting on the side of a bank. The deer came from above me and was pretty much eye level even though I was 20 feet up in a tree. The pendulum does not work in those situations.

    Not really Sudzy... been using the pendulum for years. No disrespect here. If you were on the same level the pendulum would not even move from the ground position so the sight was not the problem, you just missed. The pendulum works perfect right out to about 35 yards. The closer to the stand the deer is the farther the pendulum swings out thus raising the pin so to speak. If you want great 1 pin tree stand sight these are great.

     

    Here's what I use.  http://www.basspro.com/TruGlo-Pendulum-Sight/product/48077/

  2. I was on my way to my a stand tonight and kicked out a doe from the food plot. Went on my way toward a stand and kicked her up again. Got in the stand and about 4 and was all set for the first sit of the season. Nothing moving and the rain started coming on stronger, not too bad but enough to make decide to walk back to the house. Bow down, harness off and just getting ready too stand up and get down and a noise under my stand. A doe and she walked around behind me for about 5 minutes and then she was gone or so I thought. She bedded down not 10 yes behind me and my bows on the end of the rope hanging a foot off the ground. She would def see it if I drew it up so I waited a few minutes and she was gone. At 630, 3 doe and 2 fawns, one a button buck came through as well.  Lesson is: you never know when things will happen so stay put til dark. Don't leave early.

  3. With bow season around the corner many of us have a plan to hunt the season. Some will hunt afternoon only... some of us will do some  am and some pm hunts but eventually most of us will attempt a few all days sits. Some will complete a few all day sits as well. What is season plan and why?

  4. I am fortunate to live where I hunt so I cut wood, drive around in the mule or 4 wheeler or on horses so I don't think they care. When late Oct comes around, I will stay out of the woods as much as possible though, except for hunting, waiting for the bucks to begin looking for the hot does.  I think if you don't spend much time in your hunt woods except come hunt season then you are more likely to disrupt things but what else can you do. 

  5. Lee Brice just finished. He was eh. .. all his songs were about beer and liquor. Lol. Who ever heard of two opening acts??

    All the modern country songs are about beer and liquor and trucks and beer and trucks and girls and liquor and trucks and beer...

  6. The property has almost had the new survey completed and should be done today. The posted signs are about 75% completed/ By the end of the week it will be done. I will have 100 signs up when completed.

  7. post in the local paper that you are new owner and no longer allow hunting on your land. All prior permission is canceled...

    Bill... the large 4x4 signs clearly state and are easily visible from the road and posted signs on both sides. They are black letters on a yellow background. There are 2 signs on the power line. One on each side of the property. One by the road is only 50 yards off the road. They can easily be read from a 200 yards away. They read:

     

    NEW  LAND  OWNER

    ALL PRIOR HUNTING

      PERMISSION  IS

    NO  LONGER  VALID

  8. Congrats on the new property!!  Welcome to the wonderful world of owning hunting property there are definitely pros and cons!!   Is your new property in northeast Madison county?  I am located in southeast Madison county. 

    South East Madison

  9. The past 15 years was the first time in my whole life I've had a tract of land to hunt and was very fortunate to have had about 200 acres (about 90 wooded) to hunt across from my house (very convenient) but I always had to share it with others and at times it was just not much fun. The landowner would give my son and I permission but would also give others permission too. Sometimes even though I thought I had exclusive I would find out that a few others thought they did too. Any way...

     

    In late May of this year I moved about 10 mile south of where I have lived and hunted the past 15 years. I am blessed to have bought a 4 year old home on 94 acres of terrific land with a creek bottom running through it and private land all around as well. I have planted about 1 1/2 acres of food plots as well.

     

    The problem I foresee is that this land has always been hunted by others in the area as well as the neighbors. I have made it a point to tell adjacent neighbors that only my family would hunting the property now and have posted entire perimeter every 100+/- feet  between signs.  I also placed a two 4'X4' signs visible from the road on the power line on each side of the land stating that I am the new land owner and all prior hunting permission is no longer valid. 

     

    I did this in hopes that this would alert area hunters that may have hunted this land at one time or another that this land is no longer an option. I felt this was better than climbing out of a stand to chase someone through the woods to kick them out. Part of me feels a bit like the assh*le of the area but at the same time it is my property and something I've worked hard my whole life to own. 

     

    I am finding that owning a large parcel of hunting land comes with the burden of having to put your foot down and make sure others know it is off limits. Once someone you know that hunts learns you have hunting land they think because we are friends that they should be able to hunt and it just don't work that way.

  10. I believe there is a difference . Having a bit of offset helps give the arrow spin which helps stabilize it in flight . I fletch my own with the NAP Quick Spin fletchings .

    Me too!!!  Plus I weight them with a proper FOC

  11. We get our tunips from outside pride

    I got the turnips from Brown Bag Seeds and the clover mix and Northern Sweet Spot from Outside. The Northern is doing really good. Easily visible but the clover a little slower but from what I understand clover is slower to take. The Turnips and Mean Bean Crush is taking hold really good with at least a 50% coverage already. I'll post some pics soon.

  12. I planted my small food plot a week ago Sunday (8/10) with turnips and Mean Bean Crush (cow peas and soybean). On Monday night I planted my 1 acre field with Northern Sweet Spot. A mix of perennial sweet rye grasses, clovers, trefoil and turnips  (see link) as well as the interior part of the field with Clover King clover mix and alfalfa (see link).

     

    I went to take a look on Thursday evening and the clover had already popped and by Saturday the cow peas and turnips had started and on Sunday the rye grasses had started. Will post pics soon.

  13. I have 95 acres (14 on west side of road and the balance on the east side) with a 2 acre pond and spill over pond. A nice creek flows north/south just east of the pond and the property is in a bowl. Not much visible from the road. The property is divided by a power line too.  

     

    It is a mix of hardwoods and hemlock E and NE of the pond, apples and hardwoods NW in the triangle patch across power line. I have circled the 2 areas where I will be planting soon. The rectangle field is 1 acre and the triangle field about 1/4 acre. I have , clover and sweet spot perennials (links below) as well as purple top turnips and Mean Bean Crush soybean and cow pea blend. I would like to plant in strips so the perennials will not have to be re-tilled in the Spring.Thought about the large field perennials and the small triangle turnips and Crush Bean mix. That way just re-till the small field and perhaps the power line next year.  Thoughts?
