VXR
in Bow Hunting
I got the vxr28. Love it. I had a Halon but this is even more stable I’m slowly dialing it in. 4 shots adjust pin at 12 yds 4 more shots. Put it away for a day or so. Repeat. Just moved out to 25 yds tonight. 4 shots and not bad. Put it away. Shot again tomorrow. Not in a hurry.

I’d try to use a tree as close as possible to the entry of The thick area. Try using this the second half of the month October. Don’t go in earlier than this. Use some doe pee with just a touch of estrus (like a drop or two) when you have a north wind. Set up the wick out in front of your stand about 30 yds but past you a bit so he has to walk past you. Get in extra early. No decoy.

Straight Arrow Archery in Saquoit just south of Utica is an excellent place to shop. They carry about 5 lines They have a 25 yd inside range Too. I’ve bought 4 bows over the years from them. Knowledgeable

This corn was planted 4 weeks ago by tilling, fertilizing, dragging a cultivator to create furrows and then broadcast corn from my 4 wheeler broadcaster and finally pulling drags to cover seed.

After 20 years I still use a Truglo single pin pendulum set at 25 yds. Go from 10-35 yds

I have 15 oak seedlings that I am transplanting around the land. Around my area oak trees are rare. So far 10 in the ground . I gathered up about 60 acorns last September when I visited the Waterloo outlet mall There was a huge beautiful oak tree dropping acorns I brought them home and dropped them in a bucket the ones that floated I kept I stratified them in a refrigerator for 2 months and then planted them in cups where they remained dormant until about 2 months ago

IMO those days are more likely to be lockdown, I’d take 10/31-11/8
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk ProNot to argue but my most recent bow kills have been Nov 7 and Nov 11 and before that was a Friday late afternoon, last day before southern zone gun opened. All the bucks on the move and looking.

So counting back 202 days this fawn was conceived Nov 10 or 11 - 2019. People always ask when's the best time to be in the woods for the rut. And does the rut come the same time every year. I killed my bow buck Nov 11 at 9am. We all know that from late OCT say Halloween through opening of gun is great and Picking the best 7 days each year to be in a stand would be from like Nov 8-14.

Memory cards are pricey so my question is - I plan to have 2 cards per camera and 6 cameras so are 64MB card suffice ? Also if I command the pics to deleted each time will there be an issue with corrupting the card. Anything else advice?

How so?

I slept in cause it said rain all morning. Got up at 8 and out the door at 9. Got set and called. Moved after awhile and random calling and eventually made my way back to original spot and heard gobble. Called and heard gobble got set up and called again and another closer gobble but never did see him. Never heard a shot all morning

In the first 2 weeks I have found that I’ve had better luck from 10am on.

Re: last 2 weeks. Is is bc they tend to be henned up earlier and less so later ?

I have killed most of mine early season. I think a lot depends on how much pressure a particular area gets as the season unfolds. I had some easy kills the last week, but I am usually fly fishing the Delaware as much as possible the second half of May.
Do you feel the toms respond better early then?
Does early or later

What’s the thoughts on taking a doe or does early season or late? I could have put this in deer hunting section but felt it fit better in Bow Hunting. I also realize that much may have to do with how much time you have as a hunter and access to land to hunt.
I’ve always felt that I can take a doe even late in gun season therefore I don’t take a doe in bow season because the doe I kill early may be the doe that brings the nice buck past my stand in the November rut.
