I've seen around on the old interweb there are few attempts at making your arrow traceable via GPS, or radio transponder. Anybody ever actually used or tried this? I shot a buck this past November and followed good blood (both sides of trail, entry and exit) until it magically stopped...

Well, since I've gotten hooked on this whole bow hunting thing about 4 years ago, I've only been chasing whitetail which I've learned (often the hard way) is quite a challenge. Some friends and I are always looking for something to do in that "down" time of year of January/Feb. where it's often...

I was reminded again in the stand this last weekend how sometimes it's such a pain to hang my backpack in the tree. I've always used a screw in step and depending on the tree, sometimes it requires way to much time/effort to screw in the stupid step just to hang the bag on. Wondering what...

Last year was my first year bowhunting. I have a Kronik bow (single cam) I bought from a friend who bought it new and I spent the summer getting it all setup for hunting last fall. Initially, my broadheads (muzzy mx-3) were going all over the place where my field points were shooting well. So I...

Anyone ever used the IQ retina lock bow sight? I'm looking into getting one and have found mixed reviews online. I've only bow hunted for a year and I think the retina lock will help me work on tightening my groups. Seems like the retina lock would help me to not torque my grip etc. I'm also...

This is my first year bowhunting, and I have a question about calling. Last Friday night I had a really good 10 ptr. (160?) at 17 yds behind a tree (no shot) to my right downwind...to my left at 20 yds there was a doe that winded me and was not snorting but was stopped, alert, and looking...

I got these 2 bucks on camera this year. Which G2 is taller? I just hope I get a shot at either....Ironically, they are both 9 ptr's with a G4 on the same side but they are different deer... #1 #2

This is my first year bow hunting so needless to say, I've been practicing shooting and as the season opener nears, I've grown more and more weary of my arrow groups. I just was not getting groups where I felt comfortable taking an animal ethically. I finally got my field points to a...

This is the highlight of my trail cam pics so far this year. He's looks like an 8 but there are little crab claws so I think technically a 10.

Hey folks, I just got my first bow a few weeks ago and I'm so pumped for next year! I haven't gotten to shoot more than probably 40 arrows yet but I love it so far. I have some questions on broadheads and tree stands. First, the broadheads. I've pretty much decided on a Muzzy fixed...

Here are some of the better ones from my card pull today. The one is the non-typ I had posted earlier this year. Sure, none of them are giants compared some of the ones on the forum I see, but they are on my hitlist and I'd be grinning ear to ear behind any one of 'em in October. Non-Typ...

I bought my first muzzleloader Sat. at Scheels in DSM. I was very happy with it. I borrowed a friends old CVA last year and got along fine with it. My buck dropped dead just the same and I didn't figure I needed to spend double the money for a TC for whitetails in Iowa. Anyways...I ended up...

I can't decide if he's 3 1/2 or 4 1/2...lots of mass between G2/G3 and his waist line and chest look like a 4 1/2, but from some angles, when I look at his body and neck, I think he could almost be 3 1/2... What's your opinion?

Hey, I'm looking to buy my first muzzleloader this year. I've got the gun picked out that I'd like. I've held a bunch in the stores and tried a buddies out hunting last year. My question is the scope. It seems there aren't many muzzleloader scopes out there. I know there are specific...

I posted some pics of a non-typ I got on camera several weeks ago. Well, here's the latest...what a goofy deer! I'll be sure to update again next time I swap cards!

Swapped cards on the cam this weekend....it will be interesting to see what he looks like in another month or two....

Hey, this last year was my first time trying the early muzzleloader season and I loved it. I sat on a bucket many times or on the ground covered by weeds, fallen trees, CRP etc...my rear end got so sore though after sitting for 4 hours to the point where I could only think about standing up and...

Guy I work with lives in downtown Clive with a small timber touching his backyard. He always talked about a buck that came and sat in his backyard every morning while he ate his cereal. He finally took some pics and brought them to work today. MAN I'd love to hunt this deer but its right in...

I know I will get lambasted because there are always tons of rumors every year and I don't have a pic, but heard from a reliable source there was a monster shot with a bow by Agency, IA. The guy took it to the bow pro shop in town there and they green scored it 276, 7" around the base of the...

Well, I got my first buck Saturday night. There were about 35 deer in the field, 2 bucks and he was the larger of the two. Came out of the timber 80 yds away and turned away from me and was 250-300 yds away. A snortwheeze and grunt sequence got him to turn around and come back towards me...
