Buckstopshere Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 I would never trust a head "right out of the box." I have never found a head that I couldn't get a bit sharper with my DMT Diamond stone. Have you ever noticed the difference in sharpness from not only one head to another, but from one blade to another? Some guy at the broadhead company might have been dreaming about his girlfriend...or let a blade go by while he was reaching for a coffee or jawing about Monday night football...you know human error.

nyslowhand Posted September 23, 2010 Author Share Posted September 23, 2010 Quote Gosh, I hope I don't sound too gruesome! :-X Don't take it personally, just messin' with ya'... Too many heated discussions and intensity recently, need some light-hearted frivolity. I sharpen mine also for the same reason you mentioned, an etical kill.

Buckstopshere Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Old guys like Bill and I are more concerned about keeping our edges from rusting....but there was a time...! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fantail Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 Woke up an hour before the sun was up today, and it's still 1 day and a wake up. Everything is packed for camp - headed up for 9 days of fun in what ever weather comes my way. Have you ever heard bow hunters called fair weather hunters before? I say tough butt hairs, they're just jelious because we get 1st dib's. Hopefully I'll have a few pics when I get back. Good Hunting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYBowhunter Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 I'm pretty much ready for the 16th, stands are all in place, last week we did our last mowing on the clover plots for the year and turnips are growing nicely, some apples still in the trees and bow is shooting great out to 30 yards. The clothes, boots etc... are in a tote with pine branches.Wood is cut and stacked for the stove. Walked around a bit on the property, quite a bit of leaves on the ground, leaves falling heavily with strong winds and the mornings are chilly and crisp. Cant wait to get out there. Best of luck to everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cabin Fever Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Checked all stands and hung 2 new ones over the weekend. Just need to get out and do some trimming of shooting lanes this week after work and I'll be all done in the woods anyway. Still need to gather up things, wash camo, and hang out to dry/air out. Finally got things done around the house too. Pool is finally closed up, stacked ~11 facecords of wood on the patio, cleaned out the woodstove pipe, got the air conditioners out, and cleaned the garage, etc... I make a list every year to have done around the house, so when hunting season rolls around, I don't have to fool around doing much else.

WNYBuckHunter Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 I got my last stand hung yesterday, still have to put the blind up on my ladder stand though. I wish the rain would stay away so I can get it done tonight. I really have nothing left to do except that until the season starts. Bow is shooting great, I have my form back and Im stocked up on supplies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweet old bill Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 I amn ready same as you. I do have the ground blinds to brush in on about Oct 8 thru 10. I have 3 bows setup and shooting great. 2 - 60 to 70 lbs and 1 45 to 55 lbs. The lower weight is for Nov in cold weather when these old bones / legs do not want to work...

nyslowhand Posted September 29, 2010 Author Share Posted September 29, 2010 Swapped Trail Cam memory cards today (9/28). Up until last Saturday, had seen a few small-ish rubs. Today there were several bigger, more aggressive rubs. Gotta try and stay out of the woods, if I can! Like a little kid digging in the closets looking for the Christmas gifts. Anticipation is killing me!!! ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burmjohn Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Get anything interesting on the cards? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyslowhand Posted September 29, 2010 Author Share Posted September 29, 2010 Night shot of a ~2 1/2 year old 8pt and a doe. Hen turkey with her 3 remaining brood. Think the foxes or coyotes ate the rest. Of course the normal, photogenic squirrels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
