Precisely one of my problem i think. I've always hunted off the ground til this year so what i saw was usually already in front of me. Now I'm in a stand and can see them from a ways off.too much thinking time haha

Thanks for all the advice. Very appreciated. Hopefully i can get another in front of me and learn to cool my jets again.

Anyone have advice on how to chill out when you're setting up a shot? 2 years ago I'd draw on a deer and i was calm as can be til after the shot. Now I'm a total wreck as soon as i have one coming in and it can only end badly. I've already had a miss on a doe. Complete miss thank god. Used the...

Actually sounds like shoulder to me too. A vital hit is more of a thump and not that loud in my experience for what it's worth

I have a tendency to hunt crazy times and as much as i can. I'm deep as can be in a small public and nowhere near crops. Haven't had any luck for 5 years on private permission so i put in my time and pray. I can go a week and not see a doe let alone bucks. Manage to fill tags every year but it's...

well i went , missed a chip shot on a doe an hour and a half before end of light , lost confidence to stay with the rain and left heh. i know what i did tho and its not gonna happen again . at least it was a clean miss thank god. she didnt even spook, ran back 3 yards and walked away

was talking today specifically heh. I may go try , what the heck

Tempted t try it. I've heard it works sometimes as miserable as it can be. Other than the obvious like be very careful of shot you take to minimize tracking difficulties , any thoughts on the subject ?

I actually had a young 6 come in this morning with 2 does following him. that's a first for me this time of year. usually the other way around haha

Due to lack of funds ill just plaque mount the rack like last years

Only reason being my phone was dead and waited til after pic to report and tag. Rest assured he was a few minutes after.

finally sealed the deal on this bruiser (for me) second buck ever with first being last year. had him at a bit over 30 broadside but had to stop him. he spins into shot mid flight and got a HORRIBLE quarter to angle. gut shot :/ but after 6 hours and a finish shot he's mine. hate it happened...

I hunt a public patch where every stand that goes in gets stolen so i wont even bother , ive shot 2 bucks and 3 does in 3 years all on the ground in a chair hiding in the brush all from 7-30 yards. just watch wind and be still. and be prepared , you WILL get busted occasionally , especially from...

this from a friend of mine , any ideas? Ok guys I need your help identifying an old old muzzle loader, I don't know much (and that's an understatement) about these old buggers. My wives grandfather has this and he got it from his grandfather dating it to have been made late 1800's. I will...

Got these 2 myself , the one from Branstad was useless so won't bother posting it. Was impressed that these look nothing like form letters , short and to the point :grin: xxxxx, I will not support any gun control. I know that the ultimate aim of so-called "gun control" is the confiscation...

the way I understand it they are going to support and be able to meet what members show from the area while also standing against Reed Exhibition's decision. NRA's response below...

Too lazy too look for the wording but actually the immediate issue is only for acquire, the way I understand it. The carry they have 30 days.
