Nice buck! Very unique rack - lots of character!

Unfortunately I have missed 2 deer since I shot the doe (a small/injured fork buck and a mature doe). I shot right over the back of both of them. I was hoping to add one more picture before the shotgun break. I guess I will be back after it (if) I fill my late muzzy tag. There's gotta be more...

Congrats on your deer, Matt! What a great buck and a truly awesome way to honor your Dad. You will remember this hunt forever and have the mount to remind you of your Dad. He was there with you that day, no doubt about it.

Seems like we debate deer drives and party hunting every year. Its legal.

I second the havalon. I'm terrible at sharpening blades so its great for me. Just need a saw to cut up the rib cage and you're set.

A youth model Remington 700 in .243 would probably fit her perfectly.

You need to be legal for the season. That means a statewide tag or a doe tag for each county you are hunting.

You'll be much more thankful and satisfied with your harvests with a trad bow - I promise you. It's more work to be a traditional archer/hunter but the reward is well worth it. I would be happy with a 120-130" deer anyday - wheels or trad bow honestly. But, you'll need to make the most of...

I see that we have some interest in new trad shooters. I've finally devoted 100% of my bow hunting time to it & am having an absolute blast. I took my first doe 2 weekends ago. Thought it'd be fun to have a trad bow harvest thread so that new shooters will see that trad bows are very...

I struggled for about 4 years to make the switch. Honestly, if you want to go traditional full time - you need to sell your wheels. Trust me, it has to happen. From there, spend all winter, spring, summer shooting and get yourself comfortable to at least 15y. From there, you'll just need to...

It's really going to be dependent on a bunch of factors. Ordinarily - trad archers prefer more weight up front and heavier arrows in general. I shoot (out of a 50# bow) a gold tip traditional 35/55 arrow - 100 gr brass inserts and a 150gr head. So I have 250gr out front. Total arrow weight...

Great buck! Congrats!

Squirrel hunters in the deer woods scare me. Hopefully they are safety minded and can recognize the difference between a hunter in a tree and a squirrel.

Up until this year I had my best luck with slick trick heads. I switched to a traditional bow and now shoot woodsman fixed heads. Honestly never shot rage but also good luck with spitfire mechanicals. Seems like a lot of bad shots are justified by malfunctioning heads.

Very nice! Congrats!

I'd hunt where ever you can. The private land deal sounds a bit too much drama.

I had a lone wolf sit and climb. It is a great stand. Though I think I'd go with the hand climber version if I did a climber again. Now I use a lone wolf alpha and 3 sticks. Much more versatile.

No experience on that specific gun but I did have an 11-87 with the cantilever and its the only way to go if you plan to mount a scope.

I like to be set for a 4 hour evening set this time of year. I'm now starting to go out about an hour after shooting light and sit all day. 2 hours isnt nearly enough

I wish I could say seeing 13 deer wasn't much. If I see 3 deer that's a great sit for me.
