    Ridge running/rattling: whitetail double

    I was ecstatic to find out my lifelong friend and I were able to go on our first hunt in way to long last fall. Our plan, ridge running and rattling mature late rut whitetails (or mule deer for him since he was archery hunting). I held a whitetail rifle tag in mg pocket. I had family hunting in...

    Big bucks gonna ruin my trad quest

    Been shooting traditional extensively for 3 years now. Last year was the first year I hunted traditional exclusively. Made a good shot on a nice young 4-4, but he had a different plan…ducked and spun just enough for me to clip the edge of the shoulder blade, anterior side of the lungs…didn’t...

    Which broadhead for turkeys?

    I’m assuming most of you may use the broadheads you use for any big game... but does anyone use anything dofferent? Say the VPA turkey spur? Any of you grab bigger broadheads or expandables? Or less sharp ones since most of the stuff we shoot is cut on contact and generally speaking it’s...

    School me on calling cats

    Planning a quick trip this weekend to pick up some trail cameras of mine from last year. Every year I get numerous bobcats and lions. So I want to go out and give it a whirl in a couple areas. I have done some research and talked to a few people who have done this before and have a few tips...

    It’s about Christmas.... upgrade riser or limbs??

    Title says it all. What you all think about risers and limbs? Would it be better to upgrade a riser or the limbs for an ilf setup?

    Elk impact on Whitetail and Mule deer

    Just like the title says. Out scouting I found MANY whitetails feeding between groups of elk (mainly bulls). However, I never saw many mule deer around elk. Most of those spots were down low in the draws, where I didn’t expect to see many mule deer bucks. But did see some mule deer does not too...

    Mule deer patterns

    So I I’ve ran 3-4 trail cameras for mule deer in some “wintering/rut county” trying to figure out the mule deer population around an area we hunt. Over those couple years I’ve noticed a couple things with the deer in the area, some obvious and some I was a little surprised at. Could be...

    Tom club Sr seminar.

    Only watched the first couple minutes. I’m sure most of it is great info for beginning archers. I sure wish I watched stuff from him starting out. He explains back tension well and how to learn proper back tension to set your anchor with it to be repeatable.

    Wing shooting, what do you all use?

    During trad league this past winter we shot a bunch of flying targets. If you haven’t tried that, you definitely need to! Anyway, I’m planning a early fall goose hunt, and depending how it goes I want to bring the recurve. Obviously, I plan to use some flu flus, (Large field, no dogs running...

    Strap on, slide on, or...?

    Need to do something before the fall. I’ve tuned the ILF bow without a quiver on, and for turkey season I’ve been using an old quiver attached to my backpack... I will probably like that route for deer hunting better than run and gun chasing turkeys (missed in by 1” the other day btw). I do...

    Got my 2019 mount back!

    Turned out really good! He was sneaking around following his lady just like this right before I got him. I really wanted a shoulder mount to compare him next my whitetail. I put them at either the same age or within a year (I’m almost positive whitetail is 4.5, mule deer 3.5-4.5)... really cool...

    2019 success: my first mule deer

    I will try to keep this short, but that isn’t usually how my stories go. I want to tell the story because it was an awesome hunt which was a culmination of web searches, e scouting, training, reading, and chats with great hunters on here over the last few years. I believe there are a few lessons...

    Still running cameras?

    Who likes to run cameras post season through the winter months? I left some cameras out across the state last year where we hunt a few times a year. Trying to get dial in the movement of the mule deer In a certain area. Last year I did the same, but didn’t change out the batteries since early...

    Naked hiker

    I just want to start with saying I don’t have anything against people hiking around the woods nude, Do what makes you happy, but it was a little startling to find for the first time in my trail camera. Anyone else see this regularly? The dude hiked the trail I had a camera on a couple times a...

    Which glass point to choose between?

    There is some country I would like to glass, but to glass the majority of the area I have to glass it from the south looking north, from downhill looking uphill, mainly looking at ridge tops and into a few cuts/draws. There is another option, probably the better choice, to glass the edge of that...
