Thank you all for the replies. PM responded to NYT.

Hi all, So I have twin 11yo girls and am looking for compund bow recommendations. She is a lefty or she would have been passed her cousin's Darton. Tought to find a used LH. Her sister who is RH will be acquiring the Darton on Christmas. I obviously want a bow that will grow with her and one she will be able to hunt with when the time comes. I have done a fair amount of research, but with so many memebers who have their kids hunting, i figured I'd ask. TIA.

I’ll take Turkeyfeathers this week.

Grinding another all day sit. Surfin USA…. Again

3rd dark to dark in 4 days was relatively uneventful. Small buck at daybreak, a porcupine, and couple Turkeys. Windy all day except for first and last hour. Good luck and congrats to those making it happen!

Why is the guy on the ground?

Moog for me this week!

Been in since 6. One little buck at 640. A doe and a 4pt came In at 11 from opposite directions and the 4 is currently bedded 30 yards from me. A nice wide 6 came though shortly after the 4 and doe showed, but didn’t afford a shot. He wouldn’t commit to grunts or my last ditch snort wheeze . I’m bow hunting .

Couldn’t agree more. This is my 4th year bow hunting (gun hunter for 20 year) and nothing compares anymore.

cool story, thanks for sharing!

I know some people out there and I think that may be the 3rd or 4th deer of that caliber off that "Red Barn" farm just this year.

Mid Day movement on the full moon!!

I agree, the lack of acorns has played a significant part in the lack of deer and sightings in general. Areas where i am used to seeing cow paths in the woods are non-existent. They are there, but their patterns have definitely changed in my neck fo the woods. But the rut is here and anything can happen now!

My Ororo vest came in the mail and is all charged up for the weekend. I was inmpressed with how quickly it heated up when I tested at the house. I plan to put it over my base layer and put a hoddy over that and just bring my heavier coat if needed.

Trip was a success, one in our group connected with a 5 point. The weather wasn't great and I couldnt stay and play in the snow that fell Saturday night. Did see a buck Saturday evening, but no opportunity for a shot or even a good glimpse of what was on his head. Back to the regular seaosn opener Saturday.

Now that's hunting "Beast Style" !!

Week 8 pick is Lawdwaz…

Sprayed some vege oil as that’s what I had on hand and it has seemed to work. Plan to get some odorless gun oil as well for off-season maintenance. Thanks all.

Headed up to Camp tomorow until Sunday for the first trip of the year. Haven't made it to camp as much in recent years for a variety of reasons, but hoping to get back into it next year as I am losing my close to home hunting ground. Excited to see the boys and put some miles on with the Marlin. A new camp is in the works and our property has been logged the last couple years and the cams are showing a lot more deer in the area. We usually start to see some seeking around this time as prime time is generally a bit later than down south. Good luck to all north and south!

I feel it in my bones and Biz told me today is going to be a good day for the forum!!

When I hunted with my Dad in the 80’s (I was a young boy), he had us do that. Brings back memories of wooden stands and not being able to sit still for 2 minutes.

There he is!!

Just ordered the Ororo vest. They are on sale on their website. Socks are next!!

Week 7 11/8-11/14 I’m going Lomax!!

Will do, she’s 11. Good weather she could do 3-4 hours. Hot hands and hot chocolate weren’t cutting it today lol. I find that my kids do a lot less fidgeting if they are in a tree.
