  1. I tried Antler King last spring...didn't grow well for me. Went back to Evolved Harvest which grows very well.
  2. Saw it yesterday to my suprise! Great show Tim, super buck!
  3. Give it some time...Once you can start using your hand, you can hopefully re-build some muscle strength and nerves and use it, just not 100%. Tendons/ligaments are probably done for as they have very little blood supply but you will be able to adapt...
  4. Onthe young side but very unique. If he presented a shot, might take it. Check out that left side. Hope to see him more. Already name the Lopside Buck:
  5. :turned: A week ago this past Thursday I went out on a canoe scouting trip with a couple of the counselors from the camp I worked at the last 6 summers and now am volunteering. We actually spent 7 hours on the Genesee river....a little bit more than what the camp director expected. We were looking for a camp site they'd used last year, she thought it wasn't as far down as it was. Had an awesome day, we were split in a canoe and kayak. Had 5 Bald Eagle sightings. Well into the last 2 hours of the trip, we were exhausted and just wanted to get to the car,lol. A small section of rapids showed up, higher than what we'd been through but looked manageable. Kayak went first and did ok, then the 2 of us went in the canoe. The trick is to keep your canoe pointed downstream. Well we did and somehow the waves caught us and got us turned sideways between the rapids and a boulder. We lean to keep the canoe upright, it stays then the rapids push us, tips and as soon as water got again, we turned right over, fell out. We were ok, just floated right out, dragged the canoe to shore but despite having stuff in bags, everything got wet, such as my cell phone, wallet, Kodak camera, first aid kit, you name it,lol. I also ended up with 2 good bruises on my right hip from getting hit by a rock in the water. We were resourceful and dried our electronics with gauze from the FA kits and set them on shore while we emptied the canoe. Then continued on our merry way but we were burned after that and any questionable rapids we came to we just portaged around. Will post some pics of the Eagles, they were awesome!
  6. Welcome back Ross! Can't wait to see what ya build next!
  7. Been busy but I will get the prize out to those who have sent addresses.
  8. Tried it out today and love it! Wish the wrist strap had a little more adjustment, almost have it snugged all the way down. It's super comfy and i didn't do any adjustment with the trigger setting from the factory...love the trigger itself. I think it's my new fav. release:)
  9. I will attest, this is a good little camera...takes nice IR and color day pics...I used to have one...
  10. Got a new TruFire Edge Hybrid Web strap release for $45, came in the mail yesterday. Plan to do some shooting with it tomorrow. Anyone else use one? I have to say very comfy strap and like the web strap connect with small head, it's like my TruBall Cyclone. I actually went back to my Cyclone, found out I shoot better with it than the TruBall Beast II...The things you learn....
  11. I have an Elite quiver on my bow...that was pricey though. I'd recommend Alpine Soft-loc...I'd had one, shouldn't have sold it,lol. Very quiet quiver...
  12. We have a bunch of ducklings hatching! Our old brown duck has been setting since June and last night I guess a few started and this morning there's at least 6-8 and more coming! I'll get some pics when momma duck is a little more friendly,lol. Some of these will be put in the freezer come fall...sure are tasty.
  13. in my blood...that time of year...all the new hunting shows are coming out, seeing more deer on my way to and from work, shooting the bow more, putting trail cams out. Anyone else getting excited for deer season yet? July already...basically a good 3 and 1/2 months till bow season here....
  14. I didn't miss him, but never got a shot...Saw him from my stand 2 years ago, came out in a field, chased a doe, came back in, grunted at him but he stayed out about 50 yards. Actually these pics I got were from the same night I saw him, but these were taken in our woods.
  15. Shooting my Elite the other night...happened to check my draw stops and the top one was spinning and cracked...glad I caught it before something flew off. Emailed elite so hopefully next week have a new set so I can get back to shooting...
  16. A little late but happy birthday!
  17. I used to like to watch the show with Paul Newsom on it...then I never saw the show on. Then a month or so ago this year they had a thing on TOC about him, had never realized he'd died of cancer...
  18. Congrats! How do you like your release? With my Elite, I think I'm only going to have 2 pins on for deer season... I think the blue peep clashes, lol! :-p
  19. We are in the mid 80s here in my part of NY. Just finished giving my 2 horses baths. About ready to go swim in the pond. How warm is it where you are?
  20. Deal fell through it looks like so I've got the headcover still for sale.
  21. Great shots Dave! I as well have been starting to see more deer out the last week or two...Maybe I'll try and get out with my camera tonight to some fields...
  22. Agreed...I myself, it's more about meat than antler. I do pass on smaller bucks though, I try to shoot only a 6 or better, but I don't obsess over antlers. I think I could drum up the question "Why do hunters only shoot the deer with big antlers?"
  23. It's yours Al...very good stuff...has never rotted/cracked or anything (this is a new piece, not used, lol).
