SwampCat, I'll be honest about it... Never.. It's a bucket list thing now. I would have never even considered that spot but I have a spot about 70 yds away in a grapevine cluster and have watched a lot of deer walking through that little 100 yard wide section that I had to give it a go. So far...

Sitting on the lower edge of a saddle with a 5 acre MFR thicket behind me. Hoping to catch a cruiser coming from the bedding on the other side of the ridge. Got busted drawing the bow back on a nice one at 1st light and had a small 4pt within 10 feet. The joys of ground hunting with the longbow...

Mortenson, 90% of the time I try to get something behind me like brush, tree tops,etc or multiple trunks. If that's not possible I go with the biggest tree available. Buck, It's actually a little thicker than the picture shows. For whatever reason mature bucks have no hesitation about crossing...

Dressed up in the ghillie suit sitting in my sling chair on the edge of a travel corridor between 2 bedding areas trying to get a buck with my longbow. Beautiful morning in the mid 30s with a light breeze. I've only seen a small doe and a flock of turkeys so far but the Mrs is 300 yds south and...

Well the Mrs is happy with the new water hole in front of her cabin. She watched this small buck come in and get a drink, munch some rye and acorns before wandering off. Gonna have to take the leaf blower out and give the poor rye a chance to grow. It’s had a tough go of it with the lack of...

SD, I started stacking my piles this way a few years ago and knock on wood I haven’t had one fall yet. I’ve tried a bunch of different ways and even 6’ T-posts move and this way I don’t have to work around them building or tearing down the stack. This pile is on 4 plastic pallets. You just...

Congratulations to Mrs Newbie. That’s a great trophy in PA.

Sitting on the ground next to a fallen giant with a 5 acre MFR thicket 50 yards behind me. Seen a few does, currently have 2 small ones bedded 40yds away. While taking this picture a little fork horn walked in 10-15 and passed by headed to the roses

Ended up seeing 10 total including my target buck and one his small companions. The bucks came in with about 10 minutes of shooting time but of course only the smaller one got close enough.

Opening day in my part of PA... Sitting on the edge of the grapevines 20yds from this oak tree that is just raining acorns. Nothing but squirrels so far

Saw the picture of the alleged shooter… Kinda looks like that kid who claims to have survived the Parkland school shooting… David Hogg

Well strange things happen, I’m glad the outcome was favorable for you. It looks like a good hit in the photo but may have been a bit low for the lungs. Description of shot and the timeline for the follow ups says liver but lack of blood on the shaft is a puzzler. I hope the pup got an extra...

I was having a bad year(misses,wounded,etc.) broke down and got a cheap package unit from an outdoor box store. Took it home shot it twice at 30 yds. Junk scope was really close to dead nuts. My 3rd shot a hour later was from the box blind into a mature doe. I don’t think I’ve picked it up...

Mainly a liver hit or did you clip a lung also?

Silver/Cross fox?

Start shooting them and they will find somewhere else to go

It will probably just get a rye clover mix. It’s in a semi shaded area so I just want to get something growing around it

Only having it a month I’d wait for at least another year before making any major changes. You’re liable to do more harm than good.

Well we picked up 1.11” of rain a couple of days ago and it almost filled up. Next step is some seed ahead of the next forecasted rain

There was a mud hole/ 4wheeler rut that rarely ever dries out in front of the wife’s hunting shack that she kept saying needed dug out into a small pond/water hole. So today in the 90* temps I took the tractor to the woods where it was a few degrees cooler and dug it out for her. Not the...
