That's all ya need Doc. Classic deer camp. Might be a small cabin, but that's what it's about! I would use fold up tables and chairs, that way if we had a 3rd or 4th guy we could use cots for them to sleep on.

TY Doc, it will be when we leave tomorrow at 6 am. LOL We booked the site from today till Monday. Weather said severe thunder storms today, so we decided to leave after they pass. We wasted a day because we didn't want to take the canopy or have a soaking wet dog like we did two years ago for Memorial Day. I will be getting lots of pics, but, but most likely not worth posting here. Me n the old lady, the dog, me cooking, me drinking beer. lol

I have always had trouble shooting with a release. Last fall I bought a really nice one, and I just couldn't use it. For some reason using a release changes my anchor point and I just can't get good groups. I am so used to using fingers and my anchor is just behind the corner of my mouth that it doesn't feel right not using fingers. I have a 29" draw. So, my question is, if I shorten my draw to 28" does anyone think that would help get the anchor right with a release?

Heading out tomorrow for a weekend camping trip in the Schoharie Valley. A nice quiet weekend just me, the lil woman, and the dog. Cooking over the fire and ice cold beer! Man I can't even sleep I'm so stoked. Smell of the fire, bbq chicken tomorrow and a thick a$$ steak for Saturday night! Nothing beats being outdoors in the woods, even if it is a state campground!

Not in a long time. As mentioned, long cold nights. You don't really sleep, you doze. Keeping the fire going is a priority. I had thought about getting gear for cold weather camping again, then I came to my senses. I would love to have even an acre of land, put a 10x14 shed on it, insulate the inside, get a good 12 hour generator and two 1200 btu electric heaters ( maybe a wood stove ) and call it home for two weeks during deer season in November. Not really ruffin' it, but not the Hilton either.

Great pic. I bet that baby ducks but is a bit more waterproof now.

Checking out Scoutlook. It was free.

A lot of reviews on this bow, all good. It's mainly marketed as a youth bow, but the versatility is what has a lot of adults using them. I am not a big guy, short and stocky, so the axle to axle should be fine for me. If I can find it again there is a vid of a side by side with IE at 55# 29' carbon arrow, and a high end bow set up the same and the IE had better penetration. The only thing I will do is switch out the site and rest for the ones I bought last season. The site and rest that come with the IE aren't so great from what I read and have heard. Maybe a better peep site as well. The only thing I hear people say bad about the bow itself is the back wall is kind of spongy. If I do buy this I will get the base model, not the new Pro model.

Compound. Take two steps and watch for 20 minutes, take two steps watch for 20 minutes................

Jalapeños, habaneros, hot cherry, cayenne, pickling cucs, tomatoes, snow peas, summer squash, sweet green peppers, and jupitors.

Thanks for the input loworange88. Not going contract right now, so I have to buy the phone. I would buy the phone regardless. Just me and the g/f on a plan, so splitting $75 a month fits our needs better then $135 for a comparable contract agreement. I looked over some of the apps, but, I would rather ask hunters who use them what's good then go on the review of someone who just tested it and says "This is great!", while walking around their back yard. LOL

Nope, no holes in the case, and in the 6 years we have lived here only had one mouse. I think it was just age. It was my own fault I guess, I broke the rule by buying from CL, and not taking it right to the shop for a once over. Might have saved myself a lot of money. I think karma might have been involved a little as well. My first bow was bought used from a shop, it was a Darton, and three days into shooting that the string broke while I was about 1/4 draw, that was dang scary! Took it back to the shop and they were very nice about the whole thing, offered a full refund, but since I said I was just going to get a new bow they doubled the cost I paid towards the new bow and threw in 6 Easton 2117 arrows. This time, 20 years later I bought from a private party and paid the price again. I am taking the nudge from the forces that be this time, if the PSE is to costly to fix or not worth fixing I am just going new.

Well, they say bad things come in threes, so I have 2 down. First my bow, then my cell phone. The battery just doesn't hold a charge anymore, and the new battery will run more then the phone cost in the first place. So, I am biting the bullet and getting a smartphone. I have a few questions about free hunting apps and gps apps. What are some good free apps for things like weather? What is a good gps app that will work well for hunting purposes? I am opting for 2.5 gig data, which should be more then enough for my needs as I will not use it for streaming anything. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

It was hung by the handle of a soft case in a cool dry room. I noticed a bit of fray when I put it up for the winter. Didn't seem like enough to have broken the string. Haven't had it to the shop yet, but talked to a few techs over the phone, and even PSE. The bow is old, sight unseen they are talking $200 to fix it, if it can be fixed, parts for a 20 yr old bow are hard to find. I want to get it in next week. If it will be that much to repair, I will just buy a Diamond Infinite Edge.

Best way to go IMO. If they are running you have a better chance of killing the rabbit. Even for squirrels. Maybe even #4 shot if you can find it.

Never begged for anything in my life eddie. Will never buy a used bow again! Have to really tighten the belt, but small price to pay for hunting.

Well, this is bad.......... I haven't been able to shoot for the past few months, so I had waxed the hell out of everything, put the bow in the case, and hung it. Just decided to go check on things. The image below is what I found. The only thing I can say is at least it didn't break while I was drawing or at full draw. Edit: I think I need a beer.

I don't see how any of those "Proposals" will actually help thin the doe population. Maybe opening the entire NZ to the same regs as south for bow, and allow permits for does. Creating a daily bag limit? Poachers would kill to many deer and then we would have to have a few years of no hunting while the whole population increases.Then what? Joking- --> This whole site would be filled with ramblings of Reynolds Wrap Warriors and Preppers. That will be fun. LOL <---- Joking

Glad you are OK grow, and that no one else was hurt either.

D***$ ! I honestly wonder what makes stupid people do the dumb $h** they do.

Any one ever camped there? Is it like Northampton or Glimmer Glass? Or is it like real camping, no BS welcome to the woods?

Congrats! Nice turkey...I mean the feathered one of course. Glad you found your nuts.

Even phones not connected to the web can be traced. Deleting history does no good. You downloaded to the HD on your phone, just like downloading things to a computer. It becomes embedded. You can delete it, but the data is still on there. Where do people think that data goes? You burn that data on your HD, like branding a cow. It doesn't really go away completely, there are still traces of it left behing. It used to be called "Ghost Data". Who knows what they call it now.

I read this a few times.... When I was taken out of work permanently, it was a three battle even with a lawyer to get my disability. During that time we did not have enough money to cover all the bills, so I was getting food stamps. It wasn't much trust me. But, there were a couple times when I was getting food and my g/f was getting TP and crap like that and she would buy beer at times. So according to this thread, that makes us scum. I don't think so!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have busted my ass to make a living since I was 16 until 5 years ago when I was taken out of work! I didn't ask for health issues! But life does it's will! I have never had a job that paid over $13 an hour. Factory work and warehouse work. In the few times I was inbetween jobs I would work through temp services to offset unemployment. I even did a one day job to clean up a garage for a refuse company that dealt with human waste. One of the trucks was left over night with a busted valve. Three feet of human feces had to be shoveled up. If Man-Power had told me what the job was in advance I would have said "F*** ***!!!". It was disgusting, but I did it to make a days wages! So be careful who who call scum please.
