I don't get into the whole full moon/best days to hunt. I hunt regardless...too many other variables affecting deer movement. I think the moon phase thing is just another way to try and rationalize deer hunting....

Elite is called Elite for a reason ya know...LOL!!

Congrats and enjoy!!

If I shot at a bunch of targets at that distance...my scores would be in the bucket, lol.

Give her a big congrats and awesome job!!!

Happy birthday!!

You must have some $$$ to spend, lol

I have the Scorpion Venom Kit....might get the wax to.

I've not heard good about Dicks....Find yourself a good pro-shop:)

Expandable Broadhead Failure Spares Hunter's Life | Realtree ® Holy cow.................... Hence the saying "Make sure of your target and beyond" and lets add in before your target as well...

I now have a RT AP pink camo hat that I wear....lol.

Good looking bow, congrats to your wife!! I've heard good reviews on it! She'll have fun!

Congrats on the new bow! Hoyt makes good ones! I myself shoot Elite:-D

A couple tips: if you lose blood, start circling out from the last blood...would almost bet you'd have found him. And you can see he was in water...wounded deer go to water, so check swamps/creeks/ponds, any water sources. Hope you take the advice people have offered here to you.

Glad someone found him....if that's the swamp, then that is nothing compared to what we have here which is brush and tall weeds and nasty briars and thick hemlocks....

Which one can I shoot? LOL Some nice bucks there! Hope to see a pic of you with one in the fall!

Welcome to Realtree!!!:yes: Good luck on your bow search!

Welcome ksgirl!! Go grab the bull by the horns! Everyone has pretty much said it here, go to a bow shop and shoot a few bows, don't let the shops talk you into one just because it's a "girl's bow".....they did that to me once at a shop. Get your Draw length measured and figure out your Draw weight and start shooting some bows. If you can shoot an Elite Hunter...try it, you'll be surprised:) I have 2! But you need to shoot and find out what you like, lots of good bows out there! And be sure to feel free to ask questions on here and post pics of your new bow!

Everyone makes bad shots...BUT I hope you learn from this experience....If you are going to hunt, you owe it to the animal that if the shot isn't ideal, don't take it....and if you make a bad shot, make an attempt to recover it...Yeah I sympathize some you don't want to wander around a swamp by yourself, I might be leery as well but if you are going to hunt, time to get over that fear, deer are going to take you through some rough country, especially if it's wounded.

Yeah, check out archerytalk.com....they have bows in their classifieds. If you can find the $, Elite makes a darn good bow...speaking from experience;)

Guess I won't be hunting with you...I don't use scent elimination stuff....I must be doing something wrong.... Like others said just don't hunt with him....it's not his land so he doesn't have control...

Great post! I will also add that Loctite Super Glue Gel works way better than Bohning Platinum....speaking from experience here....

You get what you pay for.... A decent priced but good cam is SpyPoint. I have an IR 5 and have the same set of batteries for the last year....good pics as well.

Not a lot of buck pics yet here...

Never have but I am on my driver's license....might as well help someone if anything ever happens to me. From what I know, people who donate kidneys do well...of course it may limit your contact sport playing due the risk of injuring the one good kidney....but it won't stop ya from hunting!
