I agree with practicing like you hunt but if your broad heads and field points fly and impact the same "as they should" what are you gaining? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You only shoot with broad heads? You must go through targets pretty quickly. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Do you have any facts once so ever that full inclusion alone is the reason for the equal deer take or are you just using that 1 piece of the puzzle to push your agenda? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Very well said! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have looked at all these numbers. If you don't think that having a corn pile 20yds from your stand exponentially increases your success rate with archery equipment then you aren't ever going to understand my points. I will say this again as I said in my last comment the average hunter in NY has a different mentality on deer hunting than they do in Ohio. Half of the deer hunters I know don't shoot does. "I live in NZ and I'm aware that it makes a big difference." I have yet to meet an Ohio hunter that doesn't shoot does. I have only met a couple Ohio hunters who have ever let a small buck go. Most every NY hunter I know if a trophy hunter. The differences in agendas a vastly different. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I field strip my granola bars and put them in plastic wrap before they go in my bag same thing with candy bars. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Let's allow baiting and make our gun season 5 days in December and our muzzleloader in 5 days in January and sept 27-feb1 bow and see if we can mirror Ohio's results. Having hunted Ohio for 7 years now in 3 different counties I have found that the average hunter in Ohio has a very different attitude than NY hunters. I have only spoke to a handful of locals out there that give a crap about shooting a buck most just want to shoot the first 3-4 deer that they see coming to their corn pile. When your only reason to hunt is for meat why wouldn't you be hunting in October when it's 50-60 out, deer will come to the corn pile during daylight hours and you don't have to get cold. I also have only talked to 1 local that used a vertical bow. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No, I'm saying they only have 10 days of gun season and nearly 100 days of bow. In NY it's nearly 50/50 bow to gun days in SZ and 1/5 in NZ. None of their gun seasons are during the main part of the rut when deer are easiest to kill. Not to mention that comparing Ohio's deer take to ours doesn't work because they can bait. Allow NY to bait and see what the deer take does. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Redfields are what I have on most of my guns that I might one day carry in the woods. They are a nice scope they seem to hold a zero very well. I haven't set one side by side with a VX1 but I will tonight when I get done work and let you know what I think. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not apples to apples, Ohio has 10days in a 5 months season that allows firearms. And only allows 1 buck. Most serious hunters are hunting the rut 2-3 weeks before gun season. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I don't agree with that at all. A doe only day during regular season will go over just like the 2 weeks in archery did. Hunters won't hunt those days because they won't want see a buck that they can't shoot! The county in Ohio where I have my lease doe weekend has 3-4 times more shooting as opening day of regular firearm season. I have never saw numbers but it sure sounds successful to me.

My view.... Those hills are to steep to hunt with a heavy gun! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

There is a wildcat for a .35 cal with a parent 7.62x39 case. I guess I found my next AR build Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I like the idea of an early MZ season more than a full inclusion. An early firearms antler less season will be the most effective method of lowering numbers. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

To me you only have 2 options in your list the leup or the zeiss. The leup wins because of the guarantee and being made in the US. The zeiss is also great glass for the money. For that money you can get a 3-9 vx-2 in my opinion the best glass for the money. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

As a owner of a Benneli R1 "top 5 ugliest rifles of all time" I have to say that is one ugly rifle. But it looks very functional. I would opt for the 7.62x39 if deer hunting is on its agenda. That sucker is a sweet Carbine with the barrel cut down to 16.25"s and it's only 5.25lb's that's a gun from my own heart! I'm currently googling if there is a 35cal wildcat based on 7.62x39.

Before you buy I would take a long look at the ol'mans. I have a ol'man drone and alumalite and I have a lone wolf. If I'm sitting next all day I take one of the ol mans. Might be a little more money but worth it in my opinion. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have over 40 stands between 4 different properties and have never had one stolen and most aren't locked. I Take the bottom 4 steps out every time. I just Cary steps with me. I'm sure luck has been a big factor but this method has worked for me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ran 3 miles in 29minutes with a 30lb pack hung my bow up on the way out shot as soon as I got to the house. Looks darker than it really was, 24yds. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
