  1. Oxyclean is powder detergent... I mix it with water and soak the skull. It doesn’t bleach but just cleans it up so it’s like a natural bone color
  2. I soak mine in oxyclean after simmering works great. Also plastic wrap then aluminum foil protects antlers.
  3. Trailcam warning: They will break your heart. On a side note... if your job requires that you travel during the rut, quit.
  4. Iv tried lots of brands, and Im frustrated with most. If you had to choose ONE basic (non cell phone) trailcam that took good pics (day + night), OK video, with good battery life and a useful warranty (or no need for one because its so great) What would you pick??
  5. This guy was in my friends yard last year and we figured out it was close to Moog too. What the hell are they putting in the water up there ??
  6. Beetle-less method. Simmer, scrape, then soak in oxyclean. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  10. OK Early morning shooters... you’ve waited long enough. Post those hero pics!
  11. I’m out of town this weekend, but next weekend I’ll be out with my... who am I kidding... my bow. Someday I’ll shoot a deer with a gun again, right? Good luck and stay safe! I can’t wait to see the gun harvest thread.
  12. The only mechanical Iv used are rage xtreme 4 blades. The profile is “big” so I don’t know how they fly at long ranges. But for the ranges I shoot they are absolutely devastating. From compound and crossbow- 100% recovery and the longest went about 100 yards. And they are NY legal.

  21. This morning was hunt #18 for the season. I bumped a doe walking in and saw 4 more does wander through. I never heard this guy walking in, he just materialized over a small ridge about 30 yards away. He came straight toward me (and in front of a trail cam) and at about 15 yards he started to angle around me. When he finally started to turn broadside, he was under 10 yards from my tree stand (sorry Biz... not from the ground). He was walking slowly and I didn't dare try to stop him when he was that close. I aimed just behind shoulder and halfway up his body. I hit him a little further back than I planned, and he took off running. He stopped about 30 yards away and started looking around, I was hoping he would fall right there. I could see blood pouring out of the exit wound. Instead of falling, he casually walked out of sight. I got down from the stand and checked the arrow. Covered in good blood, and I could see his tracks and blood. I slowly followed and found him piled up just over 100 yards from where I shot him. The bolt entered through the 6th rib about halfway up, and exited between 6th and seventh low on the other side. The Rage did a great job almost cutting one lung in half, and punching a hole through the liver. Because he was so close, and just slightly quartered toward me, I missed the offside lung. I'm very happy and thankful for a nice buck and a quick, clean kill. I won't be hunting the next two weekends (likely best 2 weekends) because of travel, and plans, so the timing of this was perfect. While I was skinning him I noticed a large bald patch on his back between his shoulder blades, looks like some sort of scar.
