Re: Fletchers+Arrow builders-Lets see those colors! CX 300s, 3" AAE vanes right helical, eze crest trimmed wrap.

Re: aiming is all concentration I agree with Tony. So many times I know my pin is not center, but the arrow goes there. A few years back I finally got comfortable (confidence) at longer yardages, and let me tell you the mental part can return big dividens with shooting. I still wonder why my autopilot shoots better than myself, even if im right on. I like to think that if you believe in something you can make it happen. Like shooting a 300 Not there yet.

Re: Not looking to good...please pray Your family is in my prayers.

Re: got one in the gut Like Dartonman said, you will find this deer. When I track a deer, i think like a deer. Deer follow natural contours, and have a reason for them to be going a certain way. Gut shot deer=deer waiting for you to recover it. Follow the direction the deer went when you last saw it, and look for him in bedding areas. Typically a gut shot deer does not go far and beds down. So if it did not get jumped, its probably where it bedded down. We are all pulling for you.

Re: Pasties Ya, me too like dem pasties. Last ones I had were up in Brimley, and the Soo. Need more cheeseheads/yoopers in here man. I like ones with cheese, or at least let me have a beer with them.

Re: So you think you can bowl???? 1st: 54 2nd: 76 3rd: 104 4th: 168 Cool game

Re: september buck pic (test) The bottom pick is an adult apple tree, but small apples. The apples were still growing when the pic was taken. This buck I beleive to be 3.5 yrs old, and have not seen him during light. Hope he can follow a doe to my stand.

Re: september buck pic (test) Here is the same buck later, about 1/2 mile from the other pic. He liked to cruise from apple tree to apple tree. Have not seen the buck in the woods though. Im just excited to start sharing again.

Thought I would see if I remembered how to post stuff on here, its been a while. Dont worry more will come now.

Re: Got one, but w/ bad news.... I feel for you buddy. If you got that sort of penetration, he is somewhere to be found. I would not give up. Like others said, grid patterns, and dogs can help. Also listen for coyotes or crows to draw attention to a carcass. Bowhunting is always about improving our skills, and learning. Sorry to hear no luck yet. Let us know if you find him. We are pulling for you.

Re: Got one, but w/ bad news.... How far did your arrow penetrate? Without an exit, and a high entry, blood trail would be almost nothing. Did you see how the arrow was sticking out of the deer, was it flat like when shooting from ground, or more vertical like 20ft up in a tree? If your up in the tree, and your arrow is going at a steep angle down, with 5in of penetration you would be starting to get lung. Keep looking to find your arrow, and keep searching for the deer. If its not an issue of having to let a deer lay to expire and backing out to keep from jumping him, keep searching around for any sign of the buck. Dont give up even on marginal shots, it will make you feel better knowing that you searched high and low for the buck and did what you could. It will pay off, either way.

Re: What A Crock I too feel that its curtious to ask permission to get your deer when you know its expired. If I know that the landowner will give me grief, dont ask and get your deer. I feel that my downed game is very special to me, and would make sure to get it. Game wardens can help with these property issues.

Re: Long Fletching VS Short Fletching!!!! I use short fletch 3" AAE, and like the reduced weight to add to an increase in FOC. Fletch style can be dictated by your rest type, but the most important things are vane clearance, and making sure to paper tune. As stated before give other vanes a try and see how you like them.

What peep do you have and do you like it? Shoot a two strand horizontal peep (RAD super duce). Like two strands better than three for sure, but was thinking of going with maybe a G5 meta or fletcher. I think the view would be better with a round sight hole at full draw compared to a compressed one. What do you think. EJ

Re: trail cam Checked the settings over and over again, only using 1shot sequence, with the shortest time interval (1min), quality is set at medium. Motion does seem to be narrow, and yes the pics could be snapped a bit faster, but it takes good pics for the price. Still trying to figure out whats the deal with battery life. EJ

Wondering if anyone had issues with battery life on with a moultrie 1mp digital camera ($100 model)? Cant get more than about 1 days worth of juice out of a 9v rechargable battery. Tried 4 different rechargable batteries, and two different chargers. Seemed to last for a week at first, then only lasting less and less. Have two exact same cameras and both act the same. Battery life is not right. Want to get the cameras back into the woods, but dont know why battery goes from 99% to 0 overnight. PLease help. Thanks EJ

Re: bag target Used corn or feed bag stuffed with old clothes. Works like a charm. Have upgraded though to a box with old clothes so I can have a 5 spot paper face on it.

Re: How do you aim ? I concentrate on the spot and slowly let it happen. If I punch it it usually goes a bit left. I have found the best results with telling my mind what to do, and then letting my body do the rest. Seems when I overconcentrate things dont flow as well as I think they should. Would be much more accurate if I could get the pin to settle down a little bit more though.

Re: Good Luck fellow WI. bowhunters!! Thanks for the post Martin! Wishing everyone the great opening weekend of this wonderful archery season. Remember to practice and "know" that you can send that arrow home. Good luck and God bless

Re: How Many? Usually in a hanger/holder...until its that last magic hour when the deer come. Ah, the feel of that cold chill in the air when the sun dropps below the treeline. Only a few days left.

Re: bear archery info Thanks for the info. I was not sure if they were one in the same. Down south eh, depends where you are in the UP I might still be north of you! Ashland is up there in latitude Thanks

Re: Have you ever!? A couple of weeks ago I was out on the 4wheeler picking some apples at the edge of a field with a small 8pt feeding in it. I circled around the buck as to try not to alarm it to greatly, but to my surprise he trotted after me and I was able to get off the atv (still running), sweet talk him closer and feed him some of my apples at about 5 ft away. I would say he ate about a half dozen apples and then walked away to continue feeding in the field. Had to say the best part was that my girlfriend was riding with and could not beleive what we saw and how curious the buck was. I will have to bring some doritos next time, and some for me too.

Re: bear archery info Anyone know about this bow or how to get a hold of bear?
