Any telephone poles along the road to put a stand in??? Haha! Good luck...looking forward to the kill pics :-) Ryan

I love my Montecs. I'm not sure about them being less sharp than the Strikers, but if they are, I'd definitely go with the Strikers in a lower grain head. Good luck! Ryan

I would try to shoot both and see which is the most accurate. Both will definitely put 'em down if you place it right! Good luck! Ryan

If you're shooting the same pin out to 40 yards, I'd definitely use a single pin sight. Sounds like you've got a pretty good suggestion with the HHA! Good luck :-) Ryan

Never used one, but my buddy had one out years ago, and they still lick the ground where it was, and it hasn't been there for probably 4 years. Good luck, and welcome to the forums! Ryan

I saw that on the news...makes me wonder what he was trying to accomplish! I guess he got on the news :-/

That's a pretty good birthday, Man! Enjoy the stuff!

That's pretty slick :-)

Crazy Days by Adam Gregory...new country song. I love it!

Awesome! Good to hear! Take care, Ryan

Very exciting! Have a great time with your newest family member! God bless, Ryan

I couldn't agree more with John here. You've been given some great advice from others as well. God bless, Ryan

Good call...I would have definitely gone to Tampa over NYC though...He went from the smallest NFL city to the largest! Ryan

Yep..visited the site. It's pretty cool! I need to visit again, because I didn't have time to look at everything...thanks for the reminder. Take care, Ryan

Ditto! Sign me up for the Mach1 plan That's what I do every year...great to be an IL resident! Take care, Ryan

I'll only shoot a buck if I think he's 3.5 years old. Having said that, I shot a 2.5 yr. old about 3 years ago that was a split brow 10 pt I thought was a 3.5. I need to talk to the neighbors about maybe starting a QDM plan, but right now they shoot about everything. Take care, Ryan

I love my Buck Roar from Primos...another vote for that one! It makes great roars or growls, and it's the best sounding and "workable" grunt call I've ever used. Another awesome grunt call is the HS Tru Talker. I spun a running 144 inch 8 pointer around and brought him to 30 yards where he met my broadhead. Good luck! Ryan

Before and after it rains I've heard are good times to be out. Wind never helps, but if you're not out there you never know! Good luck! Ryan

Thanks for YOUR help serving our country! Hopefully you'll get some good info off those sites. I'd try to find someone in your area, friend or family preferably, who hunts that can help you out and "show you the ropes." Good luck, and thanks again. Ryan

Wish I could help out! I'll give this a bump back to the top and see if anyone can share some info. I haven't heard of anyone who has the X-Force..just a lot of advertising. I know there's a lot of people shooting DXTs, so they will probably chime in if they read this. As far as the Deadzone, I just heard of it when I read someone else's post about it, so it must be brand new and nobody knows much about it. Good luck! Ryan

Great idea! Hopefully it will pay off! Looking forward to the pictures :-) Take care, Ryan

I'm sure they'll break up and not be all together anymore come season, but that doesn't mean they won't still come to that food source. Hopefully they'll still be comfortable with you there and you can snag one of 'em! If you have time to sit on stand a few more times before season, definitely do it if you're not disturbing too much. Then you'll just have them patterned once they change. Good luck! Ryan

So THAT'S what a bachelor party is!?!? I need to have me one of those! Nice video! Ryan

Couldn't get it to play at work, but I'll have to try at home...nice deer though, Randy! Looking forward to the video of you finding him belly up! Good luck! Ryan

I'm definitely not an expert, but we have winter wheat down at our farm and they seem to use it a fair amount late in the season...like late December and January. That's the first time they've planted that for quite a while, but I was consistently seeing about 25 deer per day in this 16 acre field in the afternoons. I'm sure it's good for the deer, otherwise they wouldn't eat it. They have a sense for eating what they need, especially during the winter months. I've heard many more good things about alfalfa than winter wheat though, so it doesn't surprise me to hear they're in that a little more. Hopefully that clears it up a little :-) Take care, Ryan
