Range is back up for the season.

 

The Livewire stings on the higher end PSE bows are not bad, but there's a big however. I wanted a set of GAS Ghost strings and ordered them through my shop. When they got them on my 72lb bow was pulling 81lbs. GAS sent another set for free assuming they screwed up somewhere. That set was exactly the same, but we got the weight out by untwisting the cables a bit. Measured the PSE strings and the cables were almost 1/2" long. I recommend GAS, 150 for some super nice strings

 

Yeah, I think a set a good strings are in my future. Not sure what stings are currently on my Bowtech SR6. They have stretched twice, but I shoot the bow daily.

That PSE is sick bow btw.

 

I too am a shooting procrastinator...I got till end of Aug, thats when season starts....

 

Mine is Oct 1. I just kind of check my sights and go with it. The more I shoot, the more critical I am of my shooting. I tend to get worse the more I shoot.

 

Anybody getting a putting in for a Turkey permit for the fall?

 

I lucked put with a multi season deer, a second deer raffle spot, and a special unit deer, plus OTC elk. Turkey depends on how well the other stuff goes. In Washington you gotta go to the far other side of the state, its a loooong drive for a bird

 

Its weird here, if you get a fall tag you can only use it in fall but if you get a spring tag you can use it in fall if you dont get one in spring...I didnt get a turkey in spring so I can use my spring tag.

 

That is weird. I usually just wait and buy a left over permit. Never did a fall turkey hunt though. Probably would be best for me to just focus on getting a buck.

 

We get a fall and spring tag with out license. However the WMU I hunt in only has a 3 day fall season. And those 3 days are in the middle of the week. Whisky Tango Foxtrot

 

If this doesnt get you guys amped up for some bow hunting, its time to hang it up!

 

Nice!

 

I got a pic of a different buck up the hill about 80yds from this camera and he barely has stalks coming out...I was surprised by this guys growth!

 

It goes fast from here on. That deer in the pic is gonna be a dandy! Hell, he already is.

 

I agree, theres a small spring that runs through where this buck is standing. I'd like to dam it up for a small pool to build up, just havent got around to it.

 

Searching for a stand I found this:



Looks promising. Anybody use a Hawk?

 

I have a Cruzer, heavy as F... and hard to hang. Mine is still sitting in the woods from last season. Its an all right stand if you hunt an area where you can hang it and keep it all season but if your going to hang and hunt every time forget about it and go with something lighter.

This is what I started using last season. Very light, easy to pack into the woods and hang.

Thanks

I ended up ordering a Helium which is aluminum. So should be a lot lighter. This stand won't be moving once it's hung for the season. Midway has them 50% off right now.

 

Back in the badlands!!!Put cameras out and moved a ladder stand today. (As usual dropped the stand on my head trying to stand it against the tree)

 

Kinda hot and bug-ish, ain't it?
