Sweeeeeeeet!

I went out this morning for a bow hunt. Nothing moving but chipmunks. Too damn hot for bowhunting.

It feels kinda funny saying the last weekend of bow season. But that's what it is for us northern zone folk. We get 2 weekends and that's it. The guns will start firing next weekend and deer movement will come to a halt. You guys in in the southern zone have been fighting for an extra couple weeks and it looks like you will get it next year. But that extra two weeks is all we get.

Some food for thought. For 2 years now I have been extremely happy with my Nockturnal nocks. I have one that I ran through a deer last year and a turkey this year. Both times it worked perfectly. After I shot the turkey it was rather bloody so I rinsed it off, let it dry, and put it back on the arrow. I shot at another turkey the other day and missed. The nock did not light up and the arrow skipped up into the woods. Now I am down a CX maxima hunter with a $10 broadhead. I emailed the folks at Noctural nock to ask what I did wrong and they have yet to return my email. I will keep you updated. I have been singing the praises of nockturnal nocks but from now on I will shoot the nock on a practice arrow before I go back out.

Heck I'm estatic that the Yankess are out of it!!!

Damn leaf peepers!! They must have more prayer power than I do. Its our last weekend of northern zone bowhunting and its going to be in the 80's. Definately not bowhunting weather. I need to have a chat this Sunday with God.

Be sure to get the hide off it as soon as possible to get the heat out of your deer. Leaving the hide on for too long can also cause problems with the meat.

Good idea!! Cleaning calf stalls in their bare feet would be a real eye opener

I have one somewhere. Let me look around. Shoot me a PM if you are interested.

Oh! By the way, I wax my string everytime it starts to look a little fuzzy.

I bet if you type waxing a bow string in Youtube there will be something there for you to watch. There is a ton of great info there. That is where I learned to fletch my own arrows.

Before I make my next thread I was curious how many have the day off this Monday? If yes, are you going hunting?

Unreal! This should be shown in our hunter safety classes.

Hornady LeveRevoltion. These bullets are awesome!! Been using them for years with no feeding problems.

Seriously though, I use my smoker to make all of my jerky. I use the High Mountain Seasonings .

I tried smoking venison but it was hard to keep it lit.

Yup!!

20, 30, 40, 50

Very nice! Congrats!!

Read this again!! I holds the blades CLOSED!! They do not lock open!! Patented snap-locking blade system holds the blades closed during flight, even out of today's fastest bows - no rubber bands needed In fact if anything, they lock shut after they pass through. When i picked up my arrow the blades were closed back up. I assumed that it failed to open till I saw the wound and read this from the NAP web site. Spitfires will open, NO MATTER WHAT The design of the Spitfire GUARANTEES that they will open, at any shot angle. Even closed the Spitfire blade is already partially open, so it has to continue to open when the target touches the blades. They WILL slam shut after passing thru a target and hitting the dirt. There will be a little dent in the aluminum ferrule where the back of the blade rests when the head is in the full open position. In the 12 years that this head has been on the market, we have not had a SINGLE failure of the Spitfire not opening.

I like Snow Seal.

I have had this grinder for 5 years now and I am very happy with it. I have never done any sausage but it will grind meat as fast as you can put it in. I got mine at Christmas time when it was on sale for $70. These go on sale every now and then if you keep your eyes open.

Very Nice!!
