BearClaw

I normally put out my mineral licks out in early Spring so the deer have it when it's needed the most. I just put up a new stand and want to draw some deer to it. (It's by a deer trail) I don't use a feeded due to the bears. Is it too late to put this out?

Nice pics and good mass on those bucks already!

Fine looking deer!

Great looking deer! I wouldn't mind seeing them walk by my stand!

The smile says it all! Congrats on a great looking fish!

Congrats!

I saw it and loved it! Great action!

Found these guys on the cam. Since I haven't checked my camera in a while and the batteries went dead, these guys should have some additional growth since then. Early May on the pair. Also had some additional visitors to the mineral lick.

I would say 15' minimum but I put mine at 18' and I'm also on the side of a hill. That gives me an extra 5' in front of me (good) but puts me eye level sometimes behind me with the deer (bad). Most deer in that travel pattern come below me though.

Don't have a regular routine. I have an elevated stand behind the house and shoot at 20 yards. I mostly always use the 3-D target when I know everything is lined up. Only use the block or bag if I think I am shooting left or right on the 3-D. The bulls eye lets me know that it's not the bow, usually. I may shoot 6 arrows or I might shoot 12. The first shot is what counts so I really don't like to 'warm-up' per se. If my first arrow is spot on, I might quit for the evening. I do shoot more sometimes just to develop my bow muscles.

Really sorry to hear that. Been there, done that until we got a sump pump and the county cleaned out their lines. Hopefully it was just water but that is bad enough. Hope things dry out for you.

Welcome back! Looking forward to your posts!

Hope everything continues to go well with your therapy. Follow their instructions and remember their "No, you won't be able to..." doesn't mean you can't!

Thoughtful message and very true!

And yes, Happy Anniversary! We just celebrated out 9th!
