My first season (3 years ago) I would talk to anyone I could, yet no one would really share any knowledge or offer to help. Trust me I asked. So even though I am far far far from being an expert I make sure I can help out a newb wherever I can, even offer to take them out. Not to my spot but...
Thanks for sharing all this, as a late term new hunter its invaluable. This is all stuff that highly interesting me and wish someone was local with your knowledge. A lot of guys I talk to that have been hunting for awhile just don't pay that much attention to the "nature" part of it. To me if...
In 2 years of bush whacking in socal I've had 1 warranty claim with Kuiu. A hoodie stitching starting unraveling, don't know wether I snagged it or it happened in washer etc. I sent a email with pic, next day I got a postage slip in inbox. Sent shirt and within a week had a brand new one. I...
We prob know the same people who didn't draw with at least 6 points. Is the point creep getting that bad in CA? Being a new hunter that started late in life I might need to pick a zone I can draw sooner than X9a
99% of the time I have fingertips on riser. I've just caught myself sticking fingers straight out a couple time, idk why?? I've never had any contact with hand. Just used to expendables that don't look so close to my meat sticks. Would I lose performance adding that inch or so? Current arrows...
I got everything to build my own arrow in order to experiment. My main question is arrow length. I purchased Iron Will 125g heads and my current arrows sit just barely past the shelf. I know this is how most people shot them but I do notice from time to time my fingers stick out when I'm trying...
Our deer in socal are very good at hiding. I was glassing for an hour before I saw this guy. Just picked up a "branch" that was moving against all the others. Put a stalk on him to 90 yards and got busted by a century forkie.
Swaro 15s completely changed hunting for me. Only my second year but year 1 I used spotter first half then got 15x vultures, while the vultures helped me glass longer and see more deer, Swaros have me finding deer like a seasoned vet.
Thanks everyone. I just got my meat back from processing. Next time I want to learn how to do it on my own, but I'll tell you what nothing feels better than looking in my freezer seeing a ton of meat. I've probably looked in my freezer the last 2 days as many times I looked at the buck LOL. So...
