in reply to: "Harvest" #15505

While I don’t use the word myself I agree with most that has been said. Don had a good point about the non-hunting public. IMHO as it pertains to the non-hunters…harvest has more of a relation to hunting where killing relates more to a slaughterhouse. Steve

Very thought provoking indeed. Should be required viewing for all hunter safety courses. Thank you Mike.

Good job. Great shot. Enjoy your venison.

Agree with Don. Screaming Eagles, eaglet were the best treestands on the market. I still use the bracket stands which enables multiple locations with only one stand. If you do a search you may still find some for sale. Steve

Congratulations Preston. Great story. Judging from the bears reaction after the shot….once again there is proof that a well placed arrow is a very humane way of putting wild organic meat in your freezer. Thanks for sharing. Steve

in reply to: PSE Black Mamba arrows #64126

Interesting thoughts Steve. I’ve pondered the same question about extremely accurate archers such as Byron Ferguson. It would stand to reason that Byron is trying to achieve the most accurate shot possible not the best penetrating arrow. So when viewed from that aspect a normal FOC arrow may very well be more accurate. Let’s also remember that Byron is one of the best shots in the world. Would FOC adjustments make that much of a difference for the average archer at 20 yards and under distances? Also, what is the average FOC for Olympic archers? I realize Olympic archery and bow hunting are not the same but I’m mainly talking about accuracy.

Grumpy, I’m sure you will find many uses for the sled especially getting a deer out of the woods.. Best of luck to you this year. Steve P.S. You must be as short as I amjavascript:addSmiley(‘:D’);

Don’t know anything about those PSE shafts but I would assume they are Dangerous Game shafts. Easton makes a Full Metal Jacket Dangerous Game Shaft of about the same gpi. I usually look for the lightest gpi to make a UEFOC arrow. This year I’m shooting small diameter Victory RIP Extreme Velocity shafts with 300 gr Tuffheads. Steve

Grumpy, one thing I purchased new last year was a molded plastic deer sled. (on-line from Home Depot for about $25) May be the best $25 I’ve spent in a long time. It just glides over the leaves and is even better in the snow as long as it’s not too deep. The only negative I’ve found is trying to drag across a steep hill…the rear of the sled wants to go down the hill…. Much easier to go straight up a hill, on a diagonal or straight down a hill. It can also be used to get treestands, steps, blinds, ladders etc. into your hunting spots with very little effort. I also keep a few 2×6 planks in my truck to use as a ramp to push the sled into the bed with a deer in it. 95% of my hunting is solo so this makes it much easier to get a whitetail out of the woods. I can’t believe I waited this long to purchase one. Good luck to everyone this season. Steve

You could check with The Bow Hospital. John does great work refinishing bows and he may be willing to apply a snakeskin for you. As Steve stated… It’s a pretty simple do it yourself project. Good luck. Steve

Great way to spend a family vacation. Keeping the tradition alive. I’m sure your nephews will remember their “archery” vacation with Uncle Steve for a long long time. My stepsons are adults now and they still talk about the fun they had at traditional shoots we attended 20+ years ago.

Good shooting Preston. Realistic practice…especially with broadheads is always a great way to get ready for the season.

Can’t wait to view. Like others have stated…. Dave’s insightful wisdom and contributions are missed. Steve
