I like mine. haven’t used it since I last hunted with my self bow 7 years ago. I like the feather protection from rain, but broadheads could be shielded with a better system imo. I remember duct taping cardboard on the side I didn’t use to take arrow out, just for a little protection. Broadheads will get wet.

Nothing wrong with “shopping in the woods” for meat with a rifle, as opposed to hunting with a bow, as a good friend said to me a little while ago!

my thumb locked tight under my jaw bone. I shoot using a dead release, so this anchor helps my hand stay in place

That happened to me and a friend in Switzerland years ago while skiing down a steep narrow coulee in the woods. My friend hit a chamois, and I came right behind and hit both of them! All 3 just got the wind knocked out of us! That story still makes the rounds on the mountain! 😀

Thanks a lot fellas!! Going back in the woods today for the weekend. Back on the road a week from today until mid-December, so I’m looking fwd to these 3 days hunting. It won’t be as cold as this week has been but still cold enough for the deer to move around! Good luck everyone! 😀

That’s a topic on which I hope David Petersen will chime in! My knowledge is limited and it’s a probably a complicated issue if the state or BLM are involved. I also understand that illegal grazing on public land is common practice in the West. I would think that great organizations like Backcountry Hunters and Anglers and Trout Unlimited could do something about it. That’s my one cent.

in reply to: How many bucks? #52332

NY: two bucks. one archery/muzzle, one regular gun . You can bowhunt throughout all weapons seasons.

doe tags vary according to regions. My region, 3 North, usually allows two doe tags.

Well today you can add another layer of merino wool and maybe some wind blocking clothes, David! Brrr… cold out there! the Gallatin range is good. I had that outfit years ago. I bought it in XXL and washed&dried it to tighten the fiber. It was perfect M-L and bombproof! Good luck, man!

in reply to: Quiet this recurve…. #51044

Try the bow hush. It’s a thread of New Zealand very heavy duty yarn wrapped around each end of the string. It will make your recurve quiet as a selfbow!

Great picture as well !

Interesting with no underbrush ?

Bruce this was a beautiful thick Hudson valley Hemlock and oak forest. Most hemlocks died of disease starting in the late 80’s. All that is left is the oak, giant hemlock blow downs and lots of mountain laurels, which are our underbrush. Just not in the shot! 😀

Congrats!! Is the other antler broken, or not growing, or tiny? Was it a male? My friend killed a deer last year with one spike antler about the size of yours, and the other was a tiny little thorn spike, and the deer was a female.

No this one was a male with huge balls both literally and figuratively! Figuratively because he dared to walk in daylight while everybody was blasting away all around us on the gun opening weekend!!!
