Heck, if I let my imagination run away, I'd never take a step in the woods! In over 50 years of roaming the woods alone, I've had a few real encounters, that were a bit hair raising. But nothing like the encounters that I imagined!!!! Those were down right SCARY!.....................................grin.

Call me old school, but I feel exactly the same. I don't trust the mechanical heads either. I'm well aware that many deer are killed with them every year. But I never doubt that my fixed blades are doing their job. Those Slick Tricks will serve you well Biz. I've used them with no problem at all. And the NAP Thunderheads as well. All 100 gr. Just keep holding your form when shooting longer distances. Hold that bow arm rock steady until the arrow hits the target. You seem to be doing really well with your new set up! Keep up the good practice and you will be fine!

Go getta gata!

What did they come off of? They look similar to what is on my Yamaha Grizz.

Nice mount! I see them pretty often on one of our hunting properties. And they seem to be almost common now, in these parts. Definitely one of the coolest critters in the woods.

Congratulations moog! If I ever get a semi, it would be a BAR, just like this! Beautiful rifle. Expecting range target pic's soon! Good luck with it this fall buddy!

Or a "lightning strike"! The woman was the second attack in that same area. The day before, a man and his dog was attacked, and managed to fend off the coyote.

LOL! During my "fat" stage, 100 pounds ago, I needed my wife to pull off my boots! And would get out of breath, just putting them on! Very embarrassing for sure. Another reason why I KNEW I needed to drop some serious weight! And did. I hear you are well on your way too! Good for you buddy! I wear a size 11 for normal shoes. And always get a 13 for hunting boots. To allow for plenty of toe room with alpaca wool socks. Being diabetic, circulation in my feet isn't the greatest so they tend to get cold easily. For later on in the season, I have a pair of 1200 gr. Rocky boots, that work quite well. Also would like to spray the Mucks with Sawyers to help keep some of the ticks from making their way up to me. I'll sacrifice some scent control for tick protection! Thanks again for all the replys!

Thank you guy's!

Thanks Dan. I've used a boot dryer for years. I like to start each hunt with dry boots! Are they easy on and off? Water proofed well? On one property I hunt, crossing a creek is needed to get to hunting spots. That's why I was looking at the 16 inch boots.

I look at these boots every time I'm in Tractor Supply. Anyone here have them? They are light weight and seem like a good boot. Are they warm and comfortable? Do they hold up well? I have never worn Muck boots. At $160 a pair, I would like to know what others think. Will be using them for bow season.

Wasn't aware there was a closed season on bigfeets. Guess I learn something every day.

Whata ya think they're poaching in August? This is my guess too.

Can't wait to see this when it's done! I know its gonna be awesome!

Sure is pretty too..........just sayin.

No better way to start the day! Nice pic's buddy! How many of those berries actually made it home?......grin.

Happy Birthday! To one of the bestest, darndest, grandest, greatest, huntingest, fishingest, guys to ever associate with the rest of us bums!!!!! Only the very best for you today Larry! Have a great day Sir!

Do ya weigh em with ticks or without? In some places, that could be a five or ten pound swing! I'm always amazed at the difference in bucks from the various regions of NYS! WNY definitely has the edge on numbers of big racked bucks. But there are nice bucks throughout the state! Weather you hunt for big racks, or just for meat, or for any legal deer. I think most would agree, seeing a true monarch of the woods is always a privilege and a thrill.

Where is this "spot", Iowa?..................................smile.

Nice bucks! Anticipation is building!

Holy Moly! Those are some awesome bucks!!! Look forward to seeing a couple of them in this years harvest thread!

Fawns will carry their spots, from birth, until their first winter coat. So all the fawns born this spring will still have spots.

Get that shoulder taken care of Bill. It's nearing four months since my shoulder surgery. And it's finally starting to get back to where I can do the things I need and want to do. I was pretty much useless before surgery. Not to mention the constant pain. It was well worth the down time. Beautiful Rifle at a sweet price! And thanks to moog, I'm set up pretty good with a rifle purchase for this year. Otherwise, I'd be meeting up with you in Altamont....... again!!!! Good luck with the sale.

On both of mine. Unless the bolt is firmly against the string, the anti dry fire mechanism is enabled, so the crossbow will not fire.

Yup that was what I'd say too. Hors d'oeuvre's for a Squach would be my second choice.
