    Sorting Gear

    Normally from mid september to the end of december the “man cave“ is cluttered. Starts with bow stuff and ends with ML . It took me about  6 hours today to organize and clean all my hunting gears. Cleaning the ML took me the longest.  Its was a fun season! Happy holidays fellas! Lets do this again next year!

    Opening day weapon?

    in Deer Hunting

    Posted

    Ruger ranch 7.62x39 with 16" barrel. Super lightweight and easy to walk around the woods. I love it more than my 30 -30 and my browning BAR 308. I never had deers make it past 50 yards. Got nice 4 pointer this morning.

    I think I recall a similar topic at one point, but could not find it.

    does anyone use the Harbor Freight hitch hauler  to transport deer?    I am. Or looking for anything fancy, just want to get a deer from point a to point b..

    any input is appreciated.

    i have the same one and im happy with it. And same here, i also put a tarp from you guessed it, harbor freight on top of the hauler befor i put the deer on it and wrap it with bungee cords. I also put reflectorized sticker on the back and side of the hauler whic you cal also buy at harbor freight. Warm up the metal and sticker with hair dryer beofre you stick it in the hauler for best results.  And to make it more discreet, i cut off the the legs/hooves  at  the "ankle" level so its make it easier to wrap and hide the deer. 

     

     

    2019 HuntingNY Crossbow Harvest Thread

    in CrossBow Hunting

    Posted

    Went to the same spot I bumped him yesterday. I was seated looking at my phone when I heared a noise on my 10 o'clock. Saw the deer walking towards me feeding. I have my crossbow on my lap but couldn't take the shot. As soon as he turned his head away from me I picked up my xbow and aimed.  He saw me and stared back at me. Took the shot while he's quartering towards me at 22 yards (used range finder after the kill). The hunt was over in less than 10 secs from the moment I saw him and squeezed the trigger. I wished it was longer. Didn't get a chance to watch him... But I'm happy anyways. It's no monster but meat is meat! :rolleyes:

    crossbow rant

    If I'm reading your post correctly, you're frustrated with the un-cooperating deer and not so much what weapon you've been using!??! They don't like to play the game by our rules, in general! If you're persistent, something good usually happens, eventually! Go get 'em!!!!

    I'm frustrated with the circumstances and not at the deer not cooperating:cheese: I love it that they're smart and a challenge to hunt. Anyway I got a spike this morning at 6:45am 22 yards from where I'm seated. Meat is meat :yahoo:

    when i was bow hunting i saw 2 deers that swear if i had at least a crossbow i would had meat in my freezer! :wild:Now here i am hunting with a crossbow i watched  2 deers on 2 separate occasions that i could have shot with rifle coz its beyond reach of my xbow! im hoping next weekend at opening day of rifle i wouldnt need something to shoot a deer thats a mile away.  This is no joke man. what a series of misfortunes. i can only laugh. The good consolation i know now is that there are deers waiting next saturday for my Browning!  Hapoy hunting guys, 

    Still Hunting Thrills and Failures

    in Deer Hunting

    Posted

    I'm like you. sitting on a tree stand kills me! i cant stand it. no pun intended. lol. Still hunting is more fun for me during the rifle season coz i get to harvest the meat. This bow season while still hunting i manage to be close to 50-60 yards from a buck and a large doe but couldnt take the shot. Im only accurate upto 30 yards max. But the thrill of watching the deer for 5-10 mins hoping itll pass infront you with in your range is agonizingly exciting.  Tomorrow ill be back with a crossbow and take that 60 yards shot if i see the buck again....

    Compound crossbows don't make sense to me

    in CrossBow Hunting

    Posted

    Hi LJC. Each hunter is different. I think its whatever floats their boat and preference. It may not make sense to you and me but to others they find it more challenging and more fun. I personally hunt with compound bow and rifle and never really like hunting with crossbow. And where I hunt, you can only use crossbow during rifle season so to me there's no point using it.  That's just my 2 cents.
