The quick reply at the bottom is a good feature. It would be nice to be able to scroll thru all the posts at once, instead of having to click on each page. The ability to see a summary 1-liner under each post with the responder's name. Thanks for listening.

Kool!

Glad you took care of the 4-legged Chad! What's the deal with the cow?

Multiple elk, goats, turkeys, whitetails, throw in some ducks, a bear, and some good fishing. (I probably missed something in there.) Along with multiple sports and excellent grades. WOW! What a year. I'm guessing you only need about 5 minutes of sleep a day!! Congrats again.

Looks like your odds are pretty good with zero points.

My Knight LK-93 shot like that until I switched to 300 grain bullets. I tried 240, 260, 200, but my gun just likes the 300's better. I also shoot Triple 7 pellets. Never really had issues recovering deer shot with the Hornady XTP, but never had great blood trails either. This post has me...

Thanks guys. I was leaning towards hunting more often. Sounds like a zone 7/8 scouting trip is upcoming!

Oh I definitely have a buddy to split gas and motel costs! We're applying in Kansas this year as most of the whitetail archery tags can be drawn with 0-1 point, and we have zero. Iowa has some nice whitetails, and I think zone 4/5 is known as the better part of the state. Just trying to...

If I do the math correctly, 43% of those with 3 points drew zone 4. (343 drew out of 799 that applied with 3 pts). So not guaranteed until 5th year. For zone 7, it was 37% with 1 point , (64/174) . So guaranteed on 3rd year.

I'm a non-res and have hunted zone 4 3X, the last being 2016, which took 4 years to draw. From the 2017 NR Draw Report, it looks like it could be 5 years before I draw again. I'm considering zone 7 or 8 as it looks like I can draw in 3 years. What would you do? And why? Zone 4 every 5...

Way Kool! Congrats to the young man!

I've got 3 on a 40 acre property I hunt. Like some have said, it is amazing that a deer will show up on one camera frequently, and never show up on one 150 yards away. I also have 5 on a rather large piece of public land I hunt in TN, spread out over a couple miles. With these, it helps to...

Hunted zone 4 three times as a NR. Here's a link to some pics, They aren't monsters, but typical of what we kill. PM me if you want more info. http://www.monstermuleys.info/dcforum/DCForumID31/629.html

Man, where were you when I was a kid!! Although I did get a pony one year!! Rode the crap outta him!!

I've never had an opportunity at a deer like that. And I've never had the opportunity to watch a deer for more than 2 years. So, based on that, and I'm comfortable with the shot, I'm shooting. But, if I am the least bit uncomfortable with the shot or distance, I'm passing. It would be a...
