im sure everyone would like a big buck and bragging rights but one buck doesnt put food on the table for that long.... i think tomarrow i will fill my either sex tag one way or another hopefully

i got two does also didnt weight them but i picked the largest of the groups at the time and they all were smaller no real big does around... but the taste good so its good to have meat in the freezer..... although i would like to even see a small 6 i havent even seen any small bucks lots of does no bucks and i have had the last two weeks off and hunted from 6-11 and 1 till dark allmost every day... been a wierd season so im happy with the does i shot

great buck i guess i should of sat out in the rain today!!

is there anyone you know that shots a bow? if so start there

lol there are alot of bow companies... but there is only one who invented the solo cam that everyone is now using.... to get back to the post if you want advice you need to be more specific ...

if you go to a good shop where there is an older gentlemen that is more than willing to share info on archery or just his experiences..... like i shoot a mathews bow great bow will kill a bear for sure....

cant you just keep things simple use common sense...

i would go to your local archery shop and that to the guy behind the desk and he will set you up.... there are so many options this would be an endless thread...

lol i have the same problem i usaually get cold around 10 or so and it seems like when i decide im going to get out i stand grab my bow and look up to see deer coming in so i dont know . im thinking about next year hunting from 8-3 with a bow

does tinks and golden estrus go bad? i have two things of it left from last year. just wondering other than that i havent had to much luck with it last year either

i had an old timer tell me "son theres no reason to get up at the crack of dawn and get out there before light". everyone does this, so go in around 830 900 and sit and when all the guys that got in there at dark will be getting up to get breakfast they willl be stirring the deer you will be sitting in the woods with deer moving. that will get the deer moving and your chances of seeing more is better. he also told me to sit till about 330 or so cuz thats when the guys that went out for a bite to eat will be coming back in the woods and the deer will be pushed around some more. he told me that he has tested this theory for the last 5 years and score on some really nice bucks. little food for thought

i hear ya on that one i have a beautiful 8 point in my yard after dark allmost every night but late im hoping he comes by my stand out back before rifle season

i have been bow hunting for 15 years lost 3 bucks one my first season hit the shoulder plate and bounced out... i believe he lived second one hit a twig gut shot let him lay for 4 hours with pending rain storm ran out of blood and sign couldnt find this and the third one was couple weeks ago nice buck hit high in the spine as he jumped the string on me followed for 3oo yards and lost all sign of him wanted to look longer but the snow storm started and we got a foot and half of snow in october .... and none with a rifle because i dont rifle hunt

my thought you should earn your buck tag like many other states have done and the bucks get bigger and the hurds are controled ... just a thought

seems like the list never gets any smaller...

that is incredible

i had a exciting second weekend on sunday...one big buck and 8 does running hard... havent seen much since few does here and there not even the little bucks only a couple does

i have probably seen in the woods over the last 15 years 5 or 6 true monsters

very cool mount

i seen one there on the right side coming north bound just south of harriman

thats a cool looking deer

are you serious ....... the way i see it most of the people on here put their time in and practice practice practice..... and for you 308 when was the last time you took time to get to know your rifle.... bad hits happen even with a gun... how many times have you heard the boom boom boom on opening day thats real ethical... or how about the guy who shot the other guy in glen spey.... rifle hunter and what about the other guy shooting his 300 win in to a trailer and killing a baby come on seriously.... a wounded dead is alot better than the examples. i can say that i go in to the woods hoping for that chance at a buck of a lifetime and i practice.... and as you can read my post in 3k i lost the buck things happen....

yes in the zone that the tag is for

easy there first deer with a bow is great!! some people only get a few chances to hunt and not the best land to hunt so congrats on the deer..

the problem i have is i only have 10 acres and a big field to hunt..... and not to much moving room... i had 8 does that were in there so im thinking as long as i have does i should get bucks coming through..
