Heya, dont you enjoy cheap stuff from places like Walmart? Why so opposed to slave labor all of a sudden?

You are waiting to get a biscuit from the dog?

Right back at you,bowmanmike picks you!

Dead deer and hopefully you can find it. Good luck.

The deers reaction sounds like hit that is back,good luck!

Bad apples can be found anywhere. I am not saying it makes it right.

You will be ok...

You are right,ignorance is bliss!!!

god, theyhave to be three times the size of the ones I just froze off the doe I got. Nice!!! Or maybe the knife is the size of a toothpick,I dunno.

Politicians don't steal much from taxpayers but from private businesses that want to grease the wheels.

Another vote here for food sources. Or between bedding and food if you have that info.

I can sign that for you.

You don't see ceo's screw up because they are not in the limelight,by design. And if they do they get a nice severance package. A 29 million estate is also small change to what most ceo's are worth.

I am trying to get stuff done this morning and hope to be out by noon for the rest of the day. Congrats to the successful hunters!

That's what we need,rockets. That will really.make our lives better.

That is crazy. all there is to it...

I agree with most you say Nicky. Strange. Maybe this time is a great opportunity to start focusing on making things in America again. Screw shipping costs and container unloading problems. That would make us more resilient. Aahhh,but people want cheap stuff. High gas prices might make local economies viable again...I can only hope.

I am a sucker for tall women in dresses. Lots of different options out there...

Ok,you are also firmly in the free market camp. Cool. The money politicians make from any of their dealings is peanuts compared to the money the big wigs make. I think the main job of politicians is to take the blame for shit the greedy ass super rich are doing. But you keep on blaming the politicians,pffff.

Ok my doe today. Distance: 20 yds,down hill angle. Entry at f 10,exit at first and stopped in opposite leg. Reaction: Deer whirled but stopped after 5 yds,a guy was jogging by and the doe watched him. I think she would have run because the autopsy revealed a sliced knuckle and split tibia if that is what it is called in a deer. The arrow stayed in the deer and it ran off eventually. Not a mad dash at all. Opposite leg was not working. I followed soon since the arrow was sticking out and I could not make sense of the deer being on its feet and looking still ok. Jumped her about 50 yds from hit site,then backed out for 20 mins. Jumped her again after she saw me and I tried to get another arrow in her at 40 yds but got a deflection and she ran again. I followed and she was bedded another 90 yds on. I couldn't shoot as she was laying in the brush. She got up without giving me a shot and looked miserable trying to go on. I followed and she bedded again 50 yds from the last spot. This time I shot through the brush even though I only saw her head. I thought I shot at her front but turned out I shot her through the ham and all the way to the sternum. That one finished her another 30 yds further on. Far from ideal but I didn't want her to suffer for any longer than she had to. I was impressed by the sliced knuckle and split tibia. I shoot a 560 grain arrow with a single bevel head. A light arrow would have done the same job on the vitals,so nothing gained in this instance.

Couldn't agree more. I have five tags and only need three deer at the most. I love venison. Even if I shoot two does I would still have a buck tag. But to each their own...

Who do you think asks for the tax breaks? nobody? they just get offered? If you think local politicians control that game you give them a lot more credit than they deserve. I get that you believe in free market,but I think by now it is pretty clear that unregulated markets do not benefit many besides the board members. Trickle down effect is just that,a trickle.

I don't think that's a new mantra,sadly. I think it is pretty messed up that big companies shop around for the biggest tax breaks and other incentives for relocating. It pits states against states and is a race to the bottom.

Well,I got myself a small doe. I am not too picky right now,I wish she was bigger but i did not have a lot of time. I was almost back to my house after dropping my wife off at work and passed a jogger going towards my house. Good for him,he had to climb a pretty good hill. Just before I got to my driveway I saw a doe on the bank,not far from the road. So I grabbed my bow and snuck over to try to shoot her before the jogger got there. I did get her just in time before she got spooked. I got some meat for the freezer,things were not looking too good for bow season.

Chef,I think you are right about that one being over 3.5. He looks pretty well filled out and has good mass on the antlers.
