Shot a buck at 7:30 this morning, he came in, worked a scrape then headed past me at 20. I knew the shot was a touch back. Arrow looked and smelled like liver so i gave him seven hours. He went 63 yar

Success!  From my angle, the shot went in low and out high.

Clipped one lung and hammered liver. He was DOA but I didn't like what I saw/heard so I waited. Rarely a bad decision!

it's a tough one for me. I'm a gun guy and have donated money to state org's trying to get some of our freedoms back or save the ones we have left. I also understand public land. I can be equally annoyed at mountain bikers as I can be at shooters, although only 1 can be a safety issue. 

Ultimately, similar to small game hunters, a little courtesy goes a long way on shared land. At the end of the day, what's legal is legal and we have to accept that and it's also totally ok to be annoyed haha.

I know. I hate to be a dick and it was a nice day. But come on it was ridiculous.  Your going to seriously park right next to my car and blast away into the woods without knowing where, or which direction I went. Usually in the morning I like to sit pretty much right in the direction they were shooting. I guess I was raised with a little more common sense and courtesy.  I know they pulled up next to my car and said f him lol

First sit in this stand this year and it’s been a fun morning. Nine doe in the field behind me being harassed by a nice eight. A three point and a button buck right in front of me.  Not sure why the farmer left the first 40 yards of this bean field unplanted but I imagine it has something to do with the fact that I have a stand here. He’s not the friendliest person and didn’t like when a nice eight walked out of his field right in front of me. His son watched me take it and then came over to complain that I shot “his deer”. Just makes me laugh.

I have the exact same bow and a very similar problem.... It was driving me nuts.  It would shoot fine most of the time but every once in a while when I shot, it would make a "twang" noise followed by a horrible shot.  It got worse as time went by and I started noticing wax on the fletchings.  I realized the wax is bow string wax, so I checked the cable guide shaft (the shaft with the red guide sliding on it)  Sure as heck, with the bow at rest, there was clearence for the fletchings, but the shaft was loose.  I rotated the shaft to increase the clearence and tightened the lock nut.  Problem solved and it still shoot like new.  I believe mine is also seven years old too
