    Morning hunts: climb in the dark, or wait until light?

    If I’m going in blind, never been to the spot and haven’t picked a tree, then I want grey light. If I have a tree picked already or climbed it before, then I want to be set up a bit before first light. In general, I give a tree 2 sits, at least. I like to scout and set up for an afternoon...

    Why do you not kill the deer you are after?

    Great points, also I’ll add that some targets just aren’t on your property enough, like mentioned here that one of them kept shifting 1/4 mile. Or they don’t bed there so chances of seeing them daylighting on your land is extremely low, especially outside of rut I have a buck that I couldn’t...

    Why do you not kill the deer you are after?

    Being able to commit the amount of time on stand required is usually the issue. Sometimes it works out quick, sometimes it’s cat and mouse all season and he’s juking when I’m jiving… And then sometimes everything works out perfect and I just flat miss his a$$ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    The sun giving you away

    Spotted a fellow saddler in Kansas by the reflection off his carabiner. Lousiana guy, we’re friends now. He was in a tree I picked a few days earlier, he ended up shooting a pretty good buck from it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Camera location thoughts

    Good deal, and re-reading, I noticed my dyslexia… I said to the right if that top left pin, actually meant to the left of it. It would be an outside corner of the clearcut plus those other habitats meeting up. Glad you found some stuff, good luck this season! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    St Vincent Island

    Hell yeah, good luck, hope you get one. Seems like the most sign from them I saw was east side of the island, I saw one on my whitetail hunt. I got the draw this year but won’t be able to make it due to my rut hunt. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Camera location thoughts

    Man, gotta just go look and see if the sign is there to make it worth a cam. I’d look at that little bench to the left of the “i” in silver, and the top of that same drain, they often wrap the tops of the drains. Also, that too left pin on the corner of the clearcut, I’d check a little right...

    4 days to kill a buck on public ground

    Timing depends on the area, but I’d be a couple days ahead of peak breeding. I’d drive and walk for at least 1-2 days, or until I found something that impressed me. I missed a nice one (140s) last year on a new property, on day 2, after I walked a day and a half. Saw him 2 other times the...

    Lighter knot

    I didn’t realize this was a regional thing either… I’m right here in North Florida near Weldabeast, fat lighter and lighter knot is the only names I’ve ever heard it called that I can think of. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Nutterbuster's Post-Season Briefing

    MLs can be frustrating. What load are you shooting? I was about ready to toss mine then switched to blackhorn 209 with PT gold Harvester with crush rib sabots. Night and day difference! Killed this one a few days ago on the late season primitive hunt. Killed from the saddle in a tight area...

    How many deer have you killed?

    After the season I’ve had, I might try to count it… Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Weak side???

    Isn’t the cable guard going to be in the way of your grip? Plus you’re trying to shoot opposite eye dominance. Seems way more difficult than shooting the weak side Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Georgia Archery 4-day Hunt

    Used to. Which one you going to? Shoot me a PM, might have a little intel if it’s one I’ve hunted. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
