Any archery luck so far?

[nittanyfan333]

What you got so far this year?

Got a doe at the Patuxent Research Refuge next to Fort Meade last week. Was TDY for a week and said screw it, I’m hunting the evenings

 

[WrongHanded]

Good stuff. Just found this forum. Hopefully it takes off. Been once here in KY (but I’m all Vol). Wiffed a doe. Oops. Time to get serious soon.

#2 doe down (in NC).

Come on hunters, spread the word! Would love to see this board take off so we have somewhere to build our community of likeminded individuals.

Anecdotal story: after I killed my MD doe, I had nowhere to skin and quarter it. Talked to the girl at the check station, who called her brother that lived 5 minutes away. He, TOTAL STRANGER, let me come and use his tripod in his back yard to skin and quarter her. I paid him with the tenderloins and offered him a super cheap place to stay for him and his family if they come to the NC shore (we have a place by the beach). However I left my skinning and gutting knives at his place. He called me a few days later (left him my card) and offered to ship if I paid. No problem. Yesterday I was gutting my doe and realized “wait a minute….. these knives feel extra sharp”. I hit him up and sure as heck he sharpened my knives before he sent them to me. AGAIN, total stranger. But this is what hunters helping hunters should be.

This is what we need to open here. Oh you’re coming to NC for whatever reason? Sure, let me get you connected with somewhere to hunt and all our laws. I’m coming to X state for vacation and want to hunt a day or 2. Anyone out there to help? I’m having an issue with a nocturnal Deer, anyone have good luck addressing that? The questions can go on and on.

Let’s do this!

Haven’t hunted yet but I was able to get out Saturday and put some blinds up getting ready for youth season. It felt good to get out in the woods.

Just purchased a cruzr saddle yesterday im hoping to get after it saturday evening after TN game.

Cold front starting tonight in Nebraska and hoping to get out in the morning if it doesn't rain. Been a drought here all year but I went and sowed turnips before a couple rains over 8 days and they are taking off so I will have some good food source once the soybeans are cut where I hunt. Excited to get out and hunt finally.

 

[Ib3490]

Hoping to hit the woods Saturday after UM game. Will be first sit of the year

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

This is my first year bow hunting. I've got two does already here in GA. But unfortunately, it's not my property, and the owner has cut me off for a while. So looks like I'm grounded until gun season.

But, the Grim Reaper Whitetail specials did work. Complete pass through on both does. Very exciting and meat in the freezer.

You seem like a good dude. Glad I found this forum.

Bow hunting Axis at my brothers house tomorrow am. 30”+ free range coming in. I’ll post pics if I get him. I think I shouldered bladed this deer 2 years ago. If it’s him, it’s revenge time…

I hunt out of a tethrd phantom saddle and platform. Love the saddle!

Thanks man. Us outdoorsman gotta stick together!

I got my first with a G5 montec and my second with the grim reaper whitetail special. Holy crap the exit wound of the grim reaper was insane! Double lung’d her and barely had any blood but she dropped in 30yds. Worked like a champ.

How did you like the cruzr? I’ve been shopping around for a saddle. Borrow a buddy’s tethrd and loved it, just not the price.

I love my cruzr so far but they are just as expensive as tethrd

Crossbow hunting is neat! I've been shopping at nearby gun store few weeks ago( was getting myself a new Sig P220 45 ACP https://gritrsports.com/shooting/firearms/pistols/45-acp/ and saw a nice Tenpoint crossbow... Actually thought about buying it for a second )

Nice doe! Holy, this dude is so wholesome! We need more people like this around!

 

[CrossVolle]

Chased that cold front in Southern Ohio Tuesday and it was a dud. Headed back Saturday for a few days for this next big front. If that does not get them on their feet then i am just gonna start shooting squirrels with field tips.

10 ringed his ace. Congrats! Nice buck

 

[CrossVolle]

Leaving after the Tennessee game and headed southern Ohio after this guy. But i am not gonna pass another shooter for him do not have time.

 

[Got GSPs]

Saw some deer on the last day of archery season. Took a shot at a big doe, but my limb/cam hit the tree. Missed the doe and ended my hunt.

 

[CrossVolle]

She just hung around too long to not have a date with her tonight. Let the Mathews eat a little bit.

 

[campblue]

My better half dropped this one with a rifle… her third buck in 4 years… she’s getting a bow for Christmas and trying that

 

[MyakkaGator]

Just found this page... I love to bow hunt... I killed a pretty decent Florida 8 point this bow season..

 

[MyakkaGator]

Worked on some hogs as well..

 

[MyakkaGator]

What bows are everyone shooting?

I'm shooting an Elite and I absolutely love it

 

[Piketownman]

Just found this as thread as well. Love bowhunting! Shoot a Mathews Chill. I’m 66 and due to shoulder/neck issues had to lower poundage to 50 this year. Got my 40th Pa buck November 10. The last 32 were with my bow. Looking forward to some flintlock after Christmas

Live and hunt in Iowa. Harvested an 8 pointer on some Public ground. Arrow deflected off a limb and shot threw his nut sack. Definitely not where I was aiming at 25 yards. Bled to death pretty quickly but a terrible way to go! Killed a couple does during shotgun season. Freezer is good to go for another year!! Good luck and be safe everyone
