I like my glove but I wouldn’t mind trying a tab either. Never tried a tab before.

Another thread on here has me thinking?

I’m on chapter 8 of “BloodTies” by Ted Kerasote. On loan from Etter.

I really am enjoying this book. I’m already starting to burn through it nightly.

I need to purchase quite a few of the books listed on this thread!

I’ll be picking back up Illumination in the Flatwoods here shortly to read again before turkey season

broadhead wrote: sinawalli’s thread about American Leathers prompted me to ask this question. I shoot wearing a glove which has thicker leather on the fingertip. I recently shot wearing buckyt’s glove which has cosiderably thinner leather tips. I liked having the tactile feel of the string at my fingertips the thinner glove provided. I didn’t gain any improvement in my shots, but it just “felt” better. Which do you guys prefer, thick or thin and why?

I actually bought the glove I did, because I wanted a thinner glove, after shooting with Etter’s glove. I couldn’t hardly feel the string, and I wanted that “feel the string” sensation.

I know Etter loves a tab now, but I prefer a glove.

Nah….you’re in great shape, pal. I can’t wait to hear about it…..I know you’ll have a fantastic time. And I can’t wait for my painter meat.:D

I know Feather.:D On the Blackbeard hunt, he was very tired and worn out by the end of the hunt. Uncle Bun Bun and I stayed up the last evening, fresh and full of life, hanging out with the other hunters. Etter was already curled up in his bag asleep by 2100… I’m 5yrs older than Etter and don’t work out as much as he does and Bun Bun is 51yrs old..

I really hope those Idaho hills don’t run Etter into the dirt on the first day of the hunt…. I’m worried about him..

:D:D:D

You’re in fantastic shape Etter, and I really hope you get that “grueling” track you’re fantasizing about buddy!!!

Looking forward to all the pics when you get back!!!

I’m sure you’ll have to carry Tom out over your shoulders when it’s all said and done with! 😀

I think a gallon of wine might have had something to do with that Lackey:D

I was also really worn out from dragging and skinning deer.

I’m sure the 100yd drag out to the trail really stressed you on the island hunt. 45lbs is quite a bit for a 220lb guy to drag for so long.

Skinning such a mammoth animal has to be very exhausting…

I honestly don’t know how you did it??

😀

I only weighed 216, and now I weigh 211.

How many deer did you kill?:D

One less than you killed.:D

Me too Sean!!

Should find out next month if I was drawn or not for that hunt!

I’ve got a spot on the club that I’m ready to have a all day sit waiting on that bird to walk through with my recurve in hand.:wink: I might even make him gobble a time or two before I send an arrow over the top of his back..:D:D

I killed a turkey back on “the point” and when I ran up to pounce on him, I almost tripped over a big five point shed.

The next week I was “guiding” a cute blonde from the forestry school in the same area. I took a break from hunting for a minute to chase morels and I walked right up on the other matching side.

It was 400 yards away. Still my best matching sheds. As far back in as that place was, that old buck surely died of old age.

I looked for sheds back in there last year a bit while turkey hunting, but no luck.. I’ll look again this year.:D

Another time some years ago, I was on the back of a 4 wheeler getting a lift back to camp after a morning hunt.

We were riding through some planted pines, when something “white” sticking up out of the pine straw off the trail caught my eye. I asked the gentleman driving to stop, hopped off, walked over there, and picked up a nice 4 on a side shed. I kicked around in the pine straw and found the matching side a few feet away. The other side only had 3 points on it. Big gnarly 7pt. It was a nice find.

I usually find sheds while out hunting or scouting.

One time I actually went looking for them and found 4 that day. My prize shed is actually a 2″ long spike!:D Can’t believe I saw that little thing.

Most of my territory around here in Ga is wooded, so sheds aren’t as easy to locate as they are in agricultural areas.

Years ago, I was bow hunting and climbed a new tree that afternoon. From the get go, I noticed what looked like antler tips protruding from the leaves about 30yds away in the little hardwood drain I was hunting. I was going to investigate when I climbed down.

This little doe came in from behind me and I ended up putting a good shot on her, and she ran right over the suspected shed I’d been staring at all afternoon.

I climbed down and started following the blood trail. She had indeed ran right over the top of a nice 5 on one side shed and sure enough, the matching side was laying 2 feet away! My doe was laying another 30yds up ahead.

A safety harness kept me from hitting the ground after a fall from a deer stand………

Closest I’ve come to being seriously injured out in the field.

Ha ha! I’ve been going to the gym for years now, but I really turned it up the last six months.

I see some of these lion hunts on tv that look like cake. I hope mine isn’t like that. I want a grueling, long track!

The dogs are going to hit the track and have that cat treed 200yds away.

I figured we were talking about clothes…:D

By bows are never put up. Always within easy reach. I have a great place to shoot right off my back porch and I shoot frequently year round.

Congratulations on your first traditional bow kill!

It’s a fantastic feeling!

Looking forward to seeing the pictures of your buck.
