  1. Been debating on what to take since dad will have my rifle. Was planning on the mossberg 500 but since we are sitting together figured maybe my cva wolf with fiberoptic sights. Tend to have good luck with my new guns. And im shooting 2.5 inch groups out to 75 yrds. I guess we will see what i get together and ready friday night.
  2. This is my problem on me lease. Deer all the way from bow opener to the day before gun then nothing the rest of the year.
  3. This guy is. I cant wait fresh snow means stalking conditions. Love to sit in am then stalk until afternoon sit. Plus they stick out really well. Lol.
  4. I use it to try and cover my scent going in by spraying every couple yards or where i have to cross trails. Then sprayed it in my shooting lanes. Seemed to work last weekend for me i could see the mist to watch the wind direction and had deer come from that direction. They didnt come in from that way but at one point the wind was blowing right into their nose and they didnt seem to bother with my scent.
  5. Thank you for sharing your story sounds like he was a very good man. Sorry for your loss.
  6. Mossberg 500 in 20gauge with federal powershock sabots usually take my h&r 30-06 with 150grain federal powershock but dad wants to go again this year so he gets to carry that one.
  7. Dont do much now. Wife always makes me chili. But used to go to my cousins camp when i was a teen and everyone brought bacon venison onions peppers and through it on a massive stove top ran by a wood fire. Tossed it on a sub roll with a side of beans and some chips. Still can remember that taste. Always got a kick out of my older relatives letting loose without there wives to keep track of them.
  8. Atleast hes showing whoever takes him how he wants to be cooked. If not it should easier to find his sheds. Just look for the tank. Lol
  9. I will be out. Along with a new hunter and more importantly my dad. Shot muzzleloader,rifle and shotgun today. All good to go just hoping weather stays like its calling for.
  10. 1 doe all morning out at 120yards. But got muzzleloader and shotgun ready and are all good to go next weekend.
  11. Well sitting for the last time this bow season. Friends coming over and heading to my lease then off to another friends to make sure guns are still on.
  12. Oh i agree. Just apparently playing it to safe happend the last 2 years to me had it in my head this one would as well. Like i said its been a rough couple of years with my bow. Almost put it up last year for good. Just have to get out of my own head ill get there at some point.
  13. Well had a half good morning half stormed out of the woods type of morning. Almost wrecked my truck twice this morning. Once on black ice another an 8 point chasing a doe. Get settled into stand and about 7 i reached up to grab my antlers and saw 2 deer 70 yrds away. One breaks down hill towards me 25yards broadside held a little low because my bow is a little on the loud side they tend to drop and let the arrow fly. Doe doesnt drop like expected and hit right under her. She just jumps away looks back and walks off. A complete miss. So i see her at 50yards still, hit the grunt tube and here she comes again. This time 30yards let the arrow fly. Didnt see the stick covering her vitals 15 yards in front of me. This time she bolts runs away and before i know it trotts passed me again. But didnt have enough time for another arrow as i still was in shock i missed a chip shot. 5 mins after this 3 small bucks and a big buck ran a different doe across the meadow and out of sight. Glad i saw something but i still dont know what i did wrong on that first shot. Its been a along couple of bow seasons. Thats 6 misses in 4 years. Not doing so hot latley. Back at it tomorrow morning.
  14. Pants: base layer(walmart verison of under armor),fleece pants,sweatpants,something thats wind resistant then outerlayer. Top: base layer,turtle neck,fleece coat, windbreak coat, then usually my hoodie if its really cold i throw my heavy coat over all of that but only during gun season. Socks about the same type of layers except real cold morning i put a foot warmer inbetween my first 2 layers of socks. And bring out the mickey mouse boots. Hate walking in them but feet do stay warm. Everything i wear is pretty light weight minus the heavy jacket,mickey mouse boots and are all pretty cheap. But it does help i can stand cold for the most part.
  15. Already to go. Hoping for a atleast a sighting its been 3 straight sits with nothing. Good luck to those going out be safe in the wind.
  16. Well decided to go with the bow. Ive got a spot thats 20 yards from my driveway to the backyard so after the last post i went out and kicked on the headlights to the truck and shot at the pumpkin the kids shot at with the xbow. ( i know nothing was behind it because there is a 15 ft stone wall). And shot went perfect. Feel confident going into tomorrow morning. Good luck to those going out.
  17. Gettinf ready for am. Just dont know if i want to take the bow or xbow. Havent shot a deer with a bow in years. Never harvested a deer with xbow. My crossbow isnt all that strong so im not gaining much in distance. (30yrds instead of 20)I guess ill figure it out come morning.
  18. Thats great congrats. Thats a real beauty of a buck and to have your dad there with you at recovery.
  19. Just saw same thing in my area up to 30mph. Hoping since i can only sit until 10 the winds hold off for a bit. Last weekend if anything comes in it will be in trouble.
  20. Got out of work and my blood started pumping with the snow coming down. Dont know what my area is supposed to get but im ready to go come morning.
  21. I have a 2 year old son and an 8 yr old daughter that could help you out. Just give them some left over candy theyll get the deer out for you. Lol. No steaks needed it will tire them out for bed even trade. Lol
