  2. They could be the same deer but I dont think so
  3. Congrats on both bucks. I can't even shoot anything yet! killing me
  4. Nice deer, hopefully you will see them this fall.

    3 weeks

    I have killed the first week or two a couple of times. Only reason I wouldn't be out there if its like 100 degrees. Like said on the above post must be present to win. I have never killed a buck early, but not for the lack of trying. I try to get the monkey off my back quick with some good tasting doe backstraps!
  6. Over hunting a stand is sometimes unavoidable, but I do agree that trying to hunt the winds or the number times you hunt it help. I know I have a stand that really no matter what the wind is I am going to be in trouble if a deer comes that way. I have seen deer come each an everyway from that stand, but on the over hunting part after I shoot one out of that stand I try to stay away from hit at least a week. I remember when I was younger that I shot at a 8 pointer in pre dawn darkness I nicked him an the next morning I killed him.
  7. I would guess he is around 3 or 3.5 his body could be decieving though. Still definetly a shooter for sure. I would say 140s though
  8. Can't wait for October 1st in the Hoosier State. Have 3 different places to hunt. Have my hang ons sitting outside airing out. I'm going to try an get them in a actual tree, but this week was the hottest week of the year so far so I waited

    Nice deer. It would be tough to pass him up. It will be interesting to see him out of velvet.
  10. I broke down and got a new bow this year. I got a new job about a year ago and I told myself that if I got a new job a new bow would be in my future. I was shooting the Matthews Reezen which is a very good bow, but I wanted to try something new. I finally decided on the Strother Wrath and so far I really like it. I can't wait to stick a deer this fall with it.

  12. Im glad to hear the good things about the Grim Reapers I have just switched to them from rages excited to stick one with the Reapers
  13. I think it varies. Most of the time I like to be there before light but with a gun it doesn't bother me to be there a little later because gun can reach out an touch one, but with a bow I much rather be early.
  14. I use a lone wolf. Very light weight an pretty easy getting in an out. My biggest complaint would be its not the most comfortable after about 3 hours or so, but I use it almost every hunt an it's a pretty good one overall.
