  1. thanks for all the recommendations guys. I settled on the QAD Ultra Rest HD Pro. Got a good deal on one over on AT. Should be here in a few days. Can't wait to try it out.
  2. Hey guys, sold my bow a couple years ago with no time to archery hunt. After a couple years away I missed it too badly. Just picked up a Ross Cardiac 37 on AT last week. Can anyone catch me up a bit on rests and recommend one? I had a biskit before but want something fall away on this bow that has atleast a bit of protection to keep the arrow from falling off. Bow should be here later this week. I'm excited to get it all setup.
  3. crazy hooks on that guy. way to go
  4. nice beard on him. congrats.
  5. just saw 2 bigger ones headed to roost across the road. driving me nuts being all done.

  7. 2009 Maine Turkey Hi Guys, I've been away from here for a while. Just wanted to share my 2009 turkey, taken yesterday morning. Got him at about 20yd with my Mossberg 835. He came in hot to the Two Timer mouth call and the pretty boy decoy drove him nuts. 19.5lb, 8 1/8 beard, 7/8 spurs. My best one yet.

  11. Re: When are the deer moving in the NE? I haven't seen much this year either. I think they're moving primarily at night. Jumped a big doe in an apple orchard Saturday morning, but that's all I've seen all year. Nothing in the afternoons. I seem to be bumping them in the morning.
  12. Re: less than 48 hours! good luck all. gotta get em early on Saturday before it warms up. You other mainers seeing many acorns where you are? they're everywhere up my way. lots of beech nuts too. hopefully the buck in my avatar will be on the ground in less than 24 hrs.
  13. Re: Southern Maine Expanded archery hunters I can understand the reasons for this change. When the expanded archery zones/program were originally introduced a few years back it was with the intention of reducing deer populations in suburban/heavily populated areas where deer numbers were growing and causing accidents/destruction and where rifle hunting was either not allowed or not doing the trick for management. At no point did the state every say this was a permanent program and I do recall them saying the areas may be adjusted as deer numbers changed. One area I'm expecting a change up in Auburn is where they recently pushed back the no firearms discharge zone so they'll need the expanded archery zone to push back to cover that.
  14. Re: Southern Maine Expanded archery hunters I heard about them shrinking the zone down around Saco, I think it was zone 24. that stinks man. I would definitely consider NH an alternative with the Sunday hunting and all. Not sure if you have been reading the Maine Sportmsan, but major changes are on the horizon for next season and one of them may allow you to get two deer during the regular (or bow) season. They're talking about giving you your regular tag in addition to if you get drawn for a doe tag.
