If you have a woodstove keep the lath. That stuff is the best kindling ever,since it has been drying for 150 to 200 years.

I tend to stick with one i like 5 to 10 years. I also would not buy new,i had good luck buying on AT. The savings are amazing. I just got a halon x comp last year from there,it is a 2016 model and i love it. I will keep this for at least another 10 years.

Six things I did to a beaver last night

I say,dino really rocks. What a great post. -
Oooooh,now pink is prettier than orange. Problem solved!!! This discussion is a little silly. Here are a couple of facts. There are a few to a few million idiots in this world. If wearing orange would help you not get shot by one of them,i would not care one bit where that morsel of information is written down. I walked up on two guys wearing full camo on state land last gun season. I was with my wife and dog,they had no clue we were walking up behind them on the access road. You know what camp i think they are in...

Reminds me of,hmmm,a president?

I have to wait until April here n CNY for the first 3d shoot of the year. But i shot twice in the Techno league so far,that is fun as well. But i prefer 3d.

That's great guys,keep it up

Looks nice,mine is black as well

Nice,lots of activity!

I visit three forums, this one,saddlehunter and archery talk. That's it.

Phew,finally we got some antlers that were not attached to a skull..I like those better. I have been out on state land 5 or 6 times in the last couple of weeks and have not found any antlers. I found some nice rubs though...
-
I have been out scouting stateland the last couple of weeks and i like what i have been finding. I think i have quite a few spots i need to visit next bow season, as i think the pressure on state land in my area is very low during bow season. I will find out i guess.

I shoot any adult doe i can legally here in 4F,we have a high number of does here as well. My first objective is to get venison in the freezer,and if i can get a decent buck that is a bonus. I haven't shot a buck in a couple of years now since i pass on the ones younger than 2.5. I wish everyone would act similar,as i also feel the bucks have to do very little here to get all the doe booty they can handle. -
Went for a walk with the wife today,it doubled as a scouting trip for me. Gilbert Lake state park,awesome woods there,very diverse. I will be bowhunting there in October for sure. It totally felt like spring,we loved it. Snow for cross country skiing would be nice too.

yep,happened just now. I gave them all my info so i could receive the prize,haha. -
I also think you should be able to find some 30" or 29.5" mods. Archerytalk.com has a huge classified section i bought my bow through that site.
-
I tried a recurve at the shop for a few shots,how bizarre that felt. As a kid i shot a recurve in an archery club but we had rests and sights on them. This bare bow thing felt odd to say the least. I may try that again at a later stage of my hunting career.

It is a screen that you shoot at,about 7'x 12' or so at 20 yds away. You put blunt flat tips in your arrows,same weight as the field points. The targets are actual video recordings of the animals and the screen registers where you hit and then correlates that to the position of the critter in the scene. So it looks 100 % real,and you can get buck fever because they have scenes of some giants. Sometimes there are multiple beasts in the scene,sometimes they move through the woods and you have to pick an opening to shoot. I will post a pic next week.

This is a new unit,the shop got it last summer. So far it registered exactly where i hit. I am not to worried about the score though,the practice is what i am after. Plus i will be shooting with @monahmat,i need a local archery buddy. This could be the start of the CNY academy,we will see...
-
I will be shooting in a Techno league for the first time this winter. I am pretty excited about it and hope it will help me with my shot placement and timing. The critters in the scenes are moving and you have to know where to hit them to get the best score. I have no problem hitting a spot at 20 yds,but picking the right one is the tricky part. I did a practice round a few days ago and had a hard time with the turkeys. I don't hunt turkeys,so it took a while to get that figured out. I am not planning on winning the league,just for fun!
-
Funny you would say that,i did that the first year i had it. Not exactly a mobile set up...
-
Ok,i figured out why my climber sucks,i bought the cheaper steel version,haha,what an idiot!!! 30#

you guys are gonna love this. A few years ago i was on a bicycle tour back in Germany with my brother and his wife and my better half. We cycled on a logging dirt road through the woods when just ahead of us a 60 year old dude stepped out of the woods wearing nothing but shoes and a backpack. Oh,and some sort of hood ornament,i saw something shiny and looked away,but my brothers reflexes were not that great. We rode past and all thought we were hallucinating. After a bit my brothers wife remembered reading about a nudist hiking trail and it seems we crossed it. Whoever thoughy of that? Can you imagine the planning board meeting where that idea gets presented?
