Re: Squirrels cutting in your area yet? I haven't been in the woods lately but I suspect some of the squirrels are starting to cut as they usually do around now in previous years. My season starts September 1 and when I go out on the 1st, I usually find chewed hickory nuts and Beech nuts

Re: WANNA TRADE ?? Well my name is Ruth aka Turkeygirl, lol, and I don't have a Realtree shirt either to trade but wow, those shirts are cool! Stores around here need to carry them,lol.

Re: Big Momma! Nice photos! I believe it is also known as a Garden Spider? we have spiders liek that here and we call them Garden Spiders since we usually find them in the flower or vegetable garden.

Re: Soon to have another addition to the family Congrats! LOL @ huntin_girl! I think some of you are driving her insane

Re: ok ok.... I apologize..... I shoot a Hoyt, and an old Mystic Rebel at that... but I'm not biasedfor one or the other because I would really like a new bow regardless! lol

Re: Nightmares I always have these dreams of a deer within range but I either can't pull my bow back or my gun won't fire when I squeeze the trigger. I also don't like ones where all my teeth fall out or some one is trying to stab me,lol.

Re: Our new little fellow arrived Congrats to you and your wife!!! Tominator and Huntin_girl - LMBO! You two are weird,lol!!!

Re: Organizing a youth event. Little help please. Well seeing that I have a degree in outdoor ed. and did my internship at a DEC environmental camp, let me look through some stuff andg et back to you. I may have a few ideas. Any idea the age range of the youth?

Re: Biggest buck you\'ve ever missed. Well it's not exactly a miss but counts as it I'd say,lol. This past fall, was hunting in one of my stands in a hemlock tree overa deer trail going to and from a bedding area. I'm on the edge of an old logging trail that goes behind me out into a field and to my left are some hardwoods. Well it's morning and i'm sitting there. I turn to my left and see this wide racked buck, biggest one I've seen in the wild around here, coming right down the hill towards me. He wasn't massive like a Canada buck,lol, but he was theb iggest one I've seen so far. Well he walks right now, under me and stops about 5 yards from the tree, quartering away. I stand up and draw my bow, no noise, but he shoots forwards and stops at 20 yards with a small hemlock tree blocking his vitals. I couldn't get a shot off! Andy said I could have probably snuck the arrow through the few hemlock branches, but I didn't anyway. So while i didn't get a shot off, that was an experience I won't forget.

Re: About the Ultra Nok II I have an Ultra Nok XL on my bow and it works just fine; haven't had any problems. I just put it on last fall after replacing an older nock on my bow and it seems to work well. No complaints!

Re: 3 Legs and No head Wow, that is a really neat photo! Cool!

Re: Blackberries galore! Went out Sunday evening with my mom and we picked almost 2 Bleach jugs full of blackberries and she made a pie yesterday! Seems liek we have the first decen blackberry year in quite a few years. I also saw a couple deer come out for a quick bite in a field below us before going back in the woods.

Re: Update on Dakota That's awesome, thanks for the update! That kid sure is having an exciting summer!

Re: Draw length Thanks guys! I'm around 5' 5" so I'm like off the chart GW's link,lol. I'll try the standing like I'm going to draw method. I'd just like to have a good idea of my draw length and the range I'm in so I know what I'm looking for.

I was wondering, is there a way to find out your draw length without having to go to an archery shop or something? I'm starting to research bows now so maybe I can get a newer bow next year. My bow I use right now I believe is at the right draw length, I'm just not sure what it is in inches because the guy at the shop adjusted it or Andy did but never told me. I think my draw weight right now is around 45 or 50 lbs, but the draw length I'm not positive on. I was looking on Ebay and the Hoyt Rintec XL/ Hoyt Sierra Tec looks like it would be in the area I'm looking since I'm a lady and not huge at that,lol. I'm thinking draw weight wise, I'm leaning towards a bow in the 40-50 or 50-60 lb range. Right now I shoot a Hoyt Mystic Rebel which is a youth bow; bought it used. So any suggestions on draw length and bows I should keep an eye out for, please let me know! Thanks!

Re: I\'m back~ Welcome HOME Bill!!!

Re: Quick...I need help. When you only have a few minutes left, make a bid. I've had people outbid with like 1 minute left, and because I have dial-up, by the time I refreshed the page, I lost out. so keep in mind how fast or slow your computer is. I've also made a big several hours in advance and won before, but alot of people tend to bid at the very last minute, so give it like 5-10 minutes left in the auction and bid then keep refreshing the page and watching for anyone to outbid you. Good luck!

Re: Off To The Surgeon\'s I hope whatever news you have Chris is good news....anxious to hear...well most of us are I think,lol
