I agree with some of ur points. Mentally I deviated from thread and was kind of just comparing my opinion of the best shotgun rifle substitute. So I agree with you. As far as "limited range". I'll give u that compared to a rifle but in regards to most other shotguns the 220 is more rifle then shotgun. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

I do the same as most here. Not crazy about scent control but do the basics. One thing I do is keep all my hunt clothes in separate closest with ozone machine. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

you and others take this attitude yet are hipocrites. In the recent thread by a young hunter who got his first archery buck there is 2 pages of congradulations. He shot it with after climbing into a stand with only 7 minutes of leagal light. is his behavior excused because he hadn't broken a law yet??? obviously this young hunter was intending to. And your full of it if you thinking he was climbing down after sitting for 7 minutes.

So u planned on hunting for 7 mins?Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

congrats. I am not one that cares but based on numerous posts in other thread, many on this site will hassels you as to sun set time which is pretty much when you posted climbing into your stand.

Some of you are so indoctrinated and brain washed it is sad. Public education has done a great job of creating the perfect obedient citizens. This whole “the law is the law” is a complete joke. You really need to start using your conscious to make your decisions. Going by the “law is the law” philosophy, depending on where or when you were born, would have you supporting owning slaves, segregation, beating wife with stick as long as stick was thinner then thumb, turned in Jews, turned in neighbors who tied to help escaped slaves/Jews, etc. etc. etc.. And for you that think most laws exist for anything more than revenue generation and control you’re delusional. There are so many laws on the books you could never follow all of them. And sorry to all you perfect law followers but the average person now commits 3 felony’s a day. Those that say, “if you don’t like a law, then change it” are full of it too. Have you ever actually seen or tried to have a law removed (even when unconstitutional, i.e. UNSafe and numerous others). It is nearly impossible and the time and money needed for legal b.s would have you head spinning. If being a drone a blindly following laws is fine for you so be it but im governed by a much higher personal moral code then just “laws”. http://www.threefeloniesaday.com/Youtoo/tabid/86/Default.aspx

I'm selfish. Love the bow and anti cross bow during bow season simply bc I hate people. The more people in the woods the higher the potential for "slobs". Really don't have issues in woods until gun season and that when problems start. Stolen cams, trespassers, gun shots super early and dark. I don't blame the chosen instrument but simply the more people in the woods the higher chance that they are slobs. So I fine being selfish and a big hypocrite. I despise the flip side when fishing and banned from fly fishing only zones. But I make it work. I would however support full choice of weapons vs season requirements for private land.

A friend from work who I have been mentoring and introduced to bow hunting got this 7 point below. This is his first year hunting, first deer ever and first with a bow. I had been posting updates in live in the stand but wanted to update the conclusion and a few lessons learned. Im still relatively new as well this being my 6th year and have only about 10 under my belt. We did somethings right but a few wrong too and hope other newbies may learn from my mistakes. My friend shot this deer 8:40 11/8. Waited an hour to climb down to CSI shot site since he didn’t see the deer go down and no idea where he had hit the deer. We found the arrow for a clean pass through covered in nice red blood tip to tail. No gut smell no indication of anything amiss except white hairs. There wasn’t much blood after initial shot location so we were warry to pursue. The trail was very difficult to pick up as we spent a lot of time looking where he believed he last saw the buck. We only searched in like a 50 yrd range since we didn’t have much info to go on. Based on the scarcity of blood we decided to pull out and wait for a friend to assist. We were back at it about 4 hours after the initial shot. Picked up last blood and determined the buck had gone the complete opposite direction of where he believed he last saw him and where we had been searching initially. The blood trail was weak and we were slow going, mainly relying on tracks in the leaves. About 200 yrds from shot we found an empty bed with bright red blood with bubbles. So, our guess at this point was a high shot, one lung, possibly hitting gut, maybe liver, as there was one small spot along the blood trail that was gritty and smelly of gut. This is where we made our 2nd mistake. We should of pulled out and just come back the next morning. But we didn’t. We pushed thinking four hours since shot and lung blood we should be good. The blood continued to be sparse and was heading for some pretty thick stuff about 500 yrds from first shot. The blood wasn’t wet so we assumed that being dried up it was older, that we mused of pushed him earlier when looking at shot site the first time. However we were wrong and eventually bumped him. So we left him over night. Now it was just me and my friend we were able to pick up blood from where we bumped him but it was gone in like 40yrds. We were now searching a narrow deer trail through weeds and interspersed pricker bushes from waste to shoulder high. Did the hands and knees for 100yrds and no blood it was gone. We did a grid search and nothing for that whole area. Guessed maybe he went over a small wall based on the deer trail. Followed that for another 100yrds in to even thicker and nastier weeds and pricker patches that were now over head in many areas. Decided to grid back to where we finished our last grid. Four hours later As we got to about 5 ft from where we finished our first grid, my friend says there’s a deer bedded there. I shout, no that’s your deer and the celebration began.
