I applaud Jason for being a responsible atv’er and not using his for hunting. We can’t condemn someone for owning one. He’s hunting the challenging way that all of us on this site are trying to maintain in a world of “quicker and easier”. Give a brother some credit and encouragement! Wayne

Great tip,fella…but I wonder how many still use a compass with the advent of GPS? I carry mine with me just in case and it does help you find the exact location of the animal when you shoot. I’ve used it before and help put me on the blood trail. Wayne

Bruc, if you ever make your way down to eastern Ohio during deer season I’ll hook you up too. I’d love to hunt Manitoba whitetail also….:wink:

Using a shim to give the shelf more of a crown could help,or maybe use a feather or seal skin rest. Don’t think it’s a nock alignment issue. Wayne

Jon…you and I hunt them on the ground and I believe that’s the hardest way to go. I’ve fallen three times getting in and out of tree stands and lucky to only have fractured my arm. I just feel better at my age to stay out of my treestands.
Oh yeah,Dave…if you ever want to white-tail hunt in Ohio,I’ll set you up with treestands and the like. Wayne 😉

For me it’s white-tails on the ground,after years of hunting from the trees.Spot and stalk is rough,for sure… but being on the ground,at eye level with them is much more exciting for me. 8) Wayne

in reply to: Dave,how was your Coues deer hunt? #23545

I had a bad experience in October at just about dark. A buck came in and I didn’t see a twig that deflected my arrow and hit him in the neck. To make a long story short, we lost the blood and then it rained…..but I saw him a few days later.
Thanks for sharing your hunt,Dave:wink:Wayne

Dr. Ed Ashby wrote: That was the day I took my first big game animal with a bow. It was a whitetail doe. Hard to believe that it was 52 years ago. It seems as though it has been only a short time.

Despite the many animals of a great many species that have passed before me since, that first bow killed deer remains one of the greatest hunting moments of my life. I shared that hunt with a much older bowhunter, James Hayes. James passed away what is now many winters ago, but he lives on in my heart each and every day.

Do a favor for yourself and someone else. Take a youngster bowhunting. They will undoubtedly pester you to death but the they will remember you forever.

Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Ed

I was 9 at the time…..
