I do! The thing is so reliable, though.

I would seek help from a professional after the season, don't bother them now you're tagged out and they're busy. You have an issue somewhere and it's not the broadhead or too light of arrow. Something is out of wack.

I agree that whisker biscuits can hide some tune issues.

Tonight is an emotional sit. I'm in my fathers favorite stand, the stand I killed my first deer from. It was his stand and after I killed my first one I never asked him to hunt it again because it is a great spot but very very close to beading area and easy to mess up.

It's been over 15 years since I have been in this stand last. I can't count how many times I have helped dad drag deer that he shot out of it.

He's been gone almost a year now and it hasn't gotten any easier.

I'm sure your Dad is with you there in spirit.  I said a quick prayer asking that you'd be blessed with a successful hunt. 

Of course, you'd be on your own for the drag.

Surely they'll move good tonight... Suppose to dip into the low 30's tonight.

Damn swirly wind it's hitting me from every direction    I'm going to ride it out.

I'm not sure what size broadheads are being used for sure ,the last i remember reading was 2 inch mechanical ?  Unless that bow is pulling near 70 pounds ,i wouldn't shoot that big of a diameter .

Year 17 for me and it still SUCKS. I love being in the woods on 11/2, the day he passed. Take care and have a great season

[Fletch]

45 degrees nice, sitting my left edge stand close to the house and not intrusive. Good for short evening sits.

One chunky rabbit so far

Its funny in 24 (I think) years of hunting ive seen exactly one rabbit from the stand, and I remember it vivdly lol 

[Zuke]

Ended seeing a total of 7 deer this afternoon, was an enjoyable sit. Only thing within range was a 3 point. Nice to be in the woods on a day that actually felt like hunting weather! 

[Tughill Tamer]

I small doe that was it, the weather was great though really enjoyed the sit

Never saw a thing tonight. I always try to justify going out before and after a front, thinking "they'll be moving now", but it never pans out...

Well. I missed a nice 8 point at 40 yards. Saw one more doe while walking out. I'll be back again in the morning.

Had a spike and a doe come in. She was bigger than him and walked right under me so I was sure it was a she. Turned broadside at 30 yards. She went 30 yards and fell over.

Waited and waited and their regular time for showing up..then it was close...walk back home and on the drive I see a bunch of deer standing under a crab apple next to the road where I cross over to the house drive...lol figures. I honestly think they are bedding . Up on the neighbors ,which is higher than us and watching me come in.

[doebuck1234]

Ill be out tomorrow morning!took the day off from work.got a few days vacation left and dont have any exact plans on using em.figured id take a cool morning sit to relax and enjoy the woods

[The_Field_Ager]

Well, I had a little action on my neighbors property this evening. I rattled in a couple of deer. One was a Doe, who was alert and knew something was going on. The other, given her behavior, was a Buck I suspect, but given how thick the locale was I never got a look at it. The Doe was right under me, but behind in the thick stuff. I literally couldn't move for 15 minutes, hoping she would enter the clearing in front of me and bring the boy along. No such luck. They slipped back into the dense swamp area. Neighbors dog was running wild too which probably didn't help.

Went out from 1:30 till dark saw two doe. Was expecting more movement with the weather change. If tomorrow morning wasnt looking perfect, one of those mature doe was headed to my freezer.

[crappyice]

Sat from 3:30-dark in 3s. Had a flock of turkey come through around 5:00. Last Friday my buddy was in the same area and had the same flock come through followed by a doe that heads up the mountain out of his range which is now exactly where i posted tonight. About 5:45 I catch movement to my right and behind me- 3 does head up the mountain but took the wrong trail for my purposes. I zig...they zag! Nice sit though regardless.

You guys in the woods this morning are so lucky! I saw all the deer on the way to the airport

Second pass of the day...
That a$$hole red squirrel was napping In his treehole 10 yards str8 ahead of me I drew and held it on him forever but $40 arrow & BH sticking there for the rest of my days hunting here would have annoyed me.

Come on now, three things every one should have: a burner phone, a throwaway piece, and a squirrel arrow
