Archery Talk

Not a lot of acorns here this year.
The thing that's affecting me is a lot of corn still standing to the west of me. The bedding area is between me and all that corn. All the corn to my east is cut.
In years past the corn to the east was always the last to come down.

 

Well didn’t see anything.
MIGHT have heard a grunt.
So I grunted.
Nuttin honey.

so I installed a new snap clip on my equipment lift string
and installed the breadcrumb locator I bought 2 years ago.

 

We have so many this year I’m sure the deer don’t know what to do. I haven’t seen half this many in the past few years hunting down here. The deer seem to just be wandering around aimlessly eating acorns damn near everywhere and at the same time they are nowhere. Might take me a bit but I’ll figure them out.

 

I'll take that over no mast and uncut soybean. There's always one or two really mature white oak that the deer seem to favor. Well, except for this year.

 

We are cocked, locked, and ready to rock here in south central PA. Good luck to everyone heading out and be safe.

 

Be safe
Shoot one for me...
Twisting wrenches today.
So much fun..

 

Son just shot a ‘yote!!

 

There was a nice eight pointer standing in the field when I pulled in, but nothing but does from the stand so far. 28 degrees

 

Well I’m pretty bummed. I got up this morning and drove out to a property but realized on the way I hadn’t asked permission yet. I didn’t want to call him if he wasn’t up. I got there and all the lights were still off so instead of staying and “maybe” being in the wrong.. I drove home and went back to bed. Hopefully your mornings are a bit better

 

Good for you erring on the side of caution. Not many folks with that much integrity nowadays

 

No deer, but this female ‘yote won’t be breeding anymore.

 

Nice! What was distance?

 

I just do one thing out of integrity every year. I think it makes up for the horrible person I probably am.
I ended up getting in touch with him and he said he would have been fine with it and I should have just gone out haha. But tomorrow is a new day and hopefully the deer are moving. Dropped from 76 yesterday to 43 today. Will remain cold for at least a little while.

 

Beautiful! Nice looking coat! Do you think you will keep the hide?

 

About 18-20 yards.

Already at the taxidermist. And she does have a beautiful coat.

 

Ha I know that’s right. I’m making up for the dumpster fire that was my teens and twenties

 

Our realtor came by to meet a guy who wanted to look at our property today and he ask me to come out with him. He said his wife had this bow and wanted to know if we wanted it for our son. He gave it to him. Hopefully he’ll be able to pull it back soon, only goes down to 30 lbs and he’s 8. I know Parker is out of business, I didn’t know they made a solo cam bow though.

 

Got my 8 and 6 year olds kicked off with a PSE guide youth bow that goes down to 8 lbs.

In funny news, I sent that Matthews Reezen to my best friend’s son who’s 16. It’s probably 40lb draw and he couldn’t draw it. It made for a good shit talking session. Don’t worry, he’s a good sport and is working toward getting strong enough. We weren’t too mean about it

 

Little off topic, but I bought a new home last month. It has an awesome entry way for deer mounts, and a master closet the size of a bedroom. Now I can store all of my hunting clothes and firearms/accessories together.
