    Congrats @turkeyfeathers! What BH are you using? Looks like it got the job done.

    Seems like a LOT more activity over the past day or two. A buddy of mine took a decent little 6 in 8A yesterday. I'll be back on my normal property tomorrow and possibly Sunday. Can't wait.

    Slick trick wicked trick ss fixed. 100 grains. That’s the entrance hole too.

    2022 Hunting NY Bow Harvest Thread

    Mentioned was hunting lately but not going to burn myself out like years past. Awaiting the good , the rut. Well I picked one heck of a day it wasn’t raining nor turned off alarm and bailed. Had a four point walk almost directly under me. Later I hear foot steps in the leaves . 2 fawns with 2 good doe behind them. I know old logging trail is 25 yards from stand. First doe gets by my 2 clearings of branches to shoot through so I draw and hold awaiting second doe to hit the second window. Anticipating her step forward I let the arrow go. Luminock shows money . She bolts off. I’m gonna wait awhile to check arrow. But dang arrow who should be strobing slips under the leaves upon finally looking. Then I have a spike coming down trail followed by a different 4 point. 3 small doe coming down a knoll and the 4 point  now has a good 6 join him. The 4 takes off running dogging the doe. He ran them off and they headed back under me with him still chasing. I had full draw contemplating sending it on the 6 but let off. Already have one blood trail so no bueno on sending it. After losing a doe last week I believe was a superficial hit and no idea what happened I’m glad to have redeemed myself on only my 3rd archery deer with a clean and quick kill. She went about 20 yards and crashed in a rose of Sharon. What a morning. Double lunged

    I've been to that plaza every weekend.  I stop for a coffee and then Machias outdoor store. I saw that place, what is it?

    Meadery. Mead is a fermented honey alcoholic beverage, opened a couple weeks ago. Excellent meads of all different flavors. They have Mortalis brewing sours in fridge too.

    I always base the start of daytime activity, seeking, doe entering estrous on deer/car collisions.  I haven't heard of much yet. I drive the 400 every weekend and haven't seen but a doe or two dead.  I think we are a week out.

    I notice a lot more bucks getting hit when the rut hits. 

    Side note: check out Bee Spit meadery where the 400 ends and 16 starts in new plaza that has machias surplus and Tim hortons.

    I have aSavage Axis in 7mm 08 and love it. Ripped the combo scope off of it and put on a leupold v3 2.5 x 8. Also ordered an $11 new trigger spring for it from m Carbo. suggest doing that yourself too

    Used about 30 silhouettes and a dozen full bodies and 1/2 dozen sleeper shells. It was a Lay up hunt birds were hitting this field pretty hard so that means it was a ton of fun . 

    do they make a fun thud when hitting the ground?

    I'm open to suggestions- plenty of Cowboy candy made and quick "pickled" rings. Bunch of poppers made with last batch.

    May dry to dry some or maybe smoke some.
