    So cool! Congratulations! You will kill many more with your bow, but the first one will always be extra special! Way to go! Great job!

    A huge congrats to you guys that got it done today!!! I got in well before light. Everything was perfect! Except I saw no deer. Got up by my truck and did see a doe and fawn. Just bad luck so far! Got five different bucks on cam from that ridge! After a coffee, my partner and I moved a stand to a hot spot for opening day of firearms season. And called it a day!

    Looks like that stuff hank parker pushes? C'mere deer or something similar. I would turn them in Rob! I have 0 tolerance for a poacher! Maybe they even have a pic of themselves on the cam, after setting? Do it before they check the cam, and see you, or you will be blamed if someone else turn them in! I know that area, and it gets a good amount of people. Hunters, hikers, dog walkers and such. So like you said, they really are stupid and dumb to bait deer there!

    Got an older Bushnell model that still works well and is reliable.

    Heading to one of my best early season set ups. An oak ridge with a south facing slope. Going in solo, no grandson today. Hoping to change my luck, after the sun rises over my right shoulder in a couple hours or so. Good luck to all heading out and keep yourself safe!

    Will be nice and chilly in the morning. I'm going back down on the oak ridge where I had my fall a couple weeks ago. It's one of my favorite early season spots. Even if I see deer, it will be much less eventful than the last time I was there. My grandson has a game at 11 so will be out early.

    Cool! I think you will really like bow hunting, if you are an outdoorsy type person. It gets you out during the most beautiful time of the year for deer. Although hunting turkeys and small game is a blast too! So if ya get out with BB, this weekend, let us know how ya do! Pretty sure he has some good spots picked out. So best of luck! Have fun! Keep safe.

    Did I pick up a trail cam from you over the summer? If so, it's working great and I love it! Thanks! Do you bow hunt?

    Very unique rack on that buck! Soooo cool!
  11. grampy
    Very cool and very encouraging!

    Pretty thick through the chest and neck. I'd say he's a real nice buck, no matter how many points he has! Luck to ya grow!

    I recently tried the Ever Calm, and so far, it seems to work pretty good! And I have not used scents in years! Watched deer walk right over where I came in and they showed no sign of alarm whatsoever. If I see any adverse reactions, I will post that as well.

    You had a great morning hunt! Even though no shot was taken. Always so cool to see and hear something, you never have before! Turkey's can be every bit as fun to watch as deer!

    Check with some local taxidermy shops. It may be as easy as dropping off the hides and picking them up when done. Hope this helps!

    Welcome! And so glad you are joining us! Looking forward to your point of view. As hunting with your brother, I'm sure is always fun and interesting! Best of luck to you this hunting season!

    There are moments when your kids do something, that warms your heart. And you just know, you will never forget that moment. And if you are lucky, you will have many such moments. You, my friend, are a lucky man.

    The best way to get a brisk debate going. Is to ask a bunch of hunters, "what rifle should I get"?
  20. grampy
    Our opinions are of equal value. Even when they differ.

    I really don't think the buck that dropped in his tracks from my Axis last season, knew what brand of rifle killed him. And I'm certain he never knew how much the rifle that killed him cost. Not sure why you would openly bash what another hunter uses, because it doesn't meet YOUR standards. Just sayin........jeez.

    Another great tracking job from you and Luna!!! What a great team! Was this in SZ? Cause if it is, crossbow is not open yet.
  23. grampy
    Another thing I did to improve my Axis, was to order a new trigger spring. Got it on Amazon for $20. Improved the trigger pull from almost 7 pounds to just about 3.5 pounds! took about 15 min. to install. Besides the glass upgrade, it was the best improvement made to this rifle!

    I took your advice a couple years ago, with this exact set up and I'm very happy with it! I would add. Use the Federal Premium Nosler Bullistic Tip ammo in 140 gr. For dead right there results and great accuracy out of this rifle!
  25. grampy
    That's a REALLY nice buck! Mine only leave $5
