Turkeygirl

Forgot to add a doe I took this year with the TC, almost similar shot to yours, just a little lower and right on the crease....destroyed her heart but didn't have a great blood trail...I think when they are running the shoulder/hide keeps blood from blood pouring out. When I cleaned her out her chest cavity was just full of blood.

Congrats on a great buck and nice shot! I have a TC Omega Z5, that thing loves Hornady SST 250 gr with 2 50 gr. triple 7 pellets. Last season and this season took a doe at 100 yards, complete pass through. Shot a nice buck this year also with it, pass through at 40 yards. The gun loves this load...I like it also ;-)

Wow...this is an antique post, lol...kinda cool. Welcome aboard coalminer89

Merry CHRISTmas to all of you Realtreers! Be safe and enjoy the time with your family/friends! Getting hit by Winter Storm Ethan here...working the evening shift tonight so it may make for a fun drive today!

Merry Christmas Tim and a happy, blessed, deer filled New Year!

Congrats to your daughter Muff on a great buck!! I'm going to get my 8 point entered. Anyone else with season success yet?

From MathewsXTMan I received: Trophy Tape pack Archer's Edge Sharpener Wildlife Estrus Urine 2 packs of Scent Wicks Easton Bow Wax Thanks a bunch Martin, all will be put to good use next season! :-)

Great buck, congrats! Nice gun also!

Working Christmas Eve day shift, Christmas day evening shift. I'll then have Tuesday off and next Friday off. We have a fresh smoked ham and a wild turkey to split up between the 2 days :-) Goose season opens back up Tuesday and we got permission to hunt a field the geese were in last week so hopefully they are still hitting it this week.

You're welcome! I might open your tonight and will make sure to post the findings!

Awesome, good to hear! Nope, I haven't opened yours...yet, lol

Martin, your box shipped out today! :-)

Worked yesterday evening so that made 6 days in a row working. Off today, R & R and hunt this afternoon to try to fill my doe tag. 2017 has gone so quickly.

Mine came from MathewsXT...I stuck it in my closet so I wouldn't be tempted! XT, I'll be getting yours out this week!

Well if you don't shoot consistently, it's hard to build muscle memory, your muscles get tired quicker. Another thing could be your draw weight is too heavy or draw length too short? If new to shooting, better to start out shooting lighter then build up. A stabilizer can help steady the bow/shot but I'd try to find out it's a form thing first. See if you can go to a bow shop where someone can watch you shoot.

Thanks guys! You bet there will be some photos when the mount is done Time to start seeing what survived the season.

That looks like a nice plot!! Is the clover a perennial you planted with, I'm guessing, oats? I'm already thinking about food plots for next spring!

Thanks wtn! Good looking guns! My Accura has the thumbhole stock, nitride finish. Was wondering how many shots you got through yours before cleaning the breech plug? Mine really seemed to crud up and even the firing pin area would start to get a little caked, does yours as well? Wasn't sure if that's normal or maybe my breech doesn't seal well?

Well Tim...this is how my season went...2 beautiful 8 points, 1 with the Hoyt bow and 1 with the TC Muzzleloader.

I'm sure someone will figure out how to spotlight deer at night with a drone...

Here was another find from 2017 spring season. Also found a nice 4 point side back in the early fall in great shape, trying to find that photo.

Awesome wtn, good shooting, he's a nice deer, congrats!

Looking at the ML scopes, it sounds like they're designed so as to sight in based on specific bullet/powder load. I think I may just end up with like a riflescope like a Nikon ProStaff, just sight in. Maybe you can shed some light on how your wife's scope was to sight in vs yours on a ML?

Pretty neat XT! What was the damage caused from? I have to say the Drones do provide some pretty neat views...how long till there's a drone trail camera, lol

Thanks wtn. I was looking at the Nikon Inline scope for my Accura. What scope mount did you use for that on your wife's gun and has she had any issues with the scope? My Accura has the Durasight mount it came with.
