it's been just the opposite for me this year. i've got numerous pics of bucks with broken racks and most deer that i've seen on stand have had pieces broken off. i would agree and say it has to do with the doe population as i have seen half as many does this year as i did last year. more...
hunted on the edge of a 16 acre timber patch which is next to a corn field, a bean field and an alfalfa field for 3 hours this evening and did not see a single deer. crossing my fingers and hoping it is a good morning tomorrow.
i told myself i needed to get out this morning with the nw winds and cool morning temp. so i was up early (4:15am) to shower, pack and drive to the ground i hunt. was in the stand by 6am. total for the morning was 5 does, 1 buck and a coyote. i would have liked to have gotten a shot at the buck...
So in all reality, I am very thankful to my father in-law for allowing me to hunt his property. Don't get me wrong, I know my situation could be worse. I travel around 45 minutes to get to the property and I know there are others that travel further than that. Those that travel can probably...
I'll give my 2 cents since it sounds like not many individuals have had luck with them or say they are a waste of money. I have used Code Red Doe in Estrous on two different hunts this year-November 4th and 6th. On both occasions I used a hunters specialties drag tied onto my boot with the Code...
It was raining Sunday morning when I woke up to hunt. Decided to go anyway. Never did see anything that morning. I was thinking the entire time if I made the right call or not and considered what I would do if I were to shoot a deer. Think I would rather hunt in the rain on a morning sit than...
I sat majority of the day on Saturday, October 29th since I travel 45 minutes to get to my hunting ground. Got in an hour before light. Had 2 coyote come through behind me at 9am. Was surprised to have a nice 8 come through on the same trail as the yotes at 11am. Shooter in my book. Just no shot...
I was driving to work around 11:30am today and drove by a dead buck in the ditch. I've seen a handful of dead deer this year along roads and the interstate but was quite surprised to see a pretty nice set of antlers on this deer. My guess would be around 120". I continued on to work but kept...
i go to palo outdoors for work on my bow. it's actually where i bought my bow in the first place. didn't get a mathews tho. got a mission maniac. great guys. smaller shop but they carry about everything you could need and have a shooting range below. i can't imagine going anywhere without a...
thanks for everyone's opinions. i bought the big game boss xl this weekend. and i have to say, after getting up the tree, i'm quite happy with how comfortable it sits. granted, i wasn't up there long but i'm happy with my decision. and yes, i'll be buying a new safety harness. my wife was...
Anybody own either one of these treestands? I am looking to buy a stand this week but cannot decide between the 2. I can get the Big Game Boss XL for $70 and the Gorilla Expedition HX for $120. I sat in each stand at the store and really like the Gorilla, but am having a hard time convincing...
