    Hey team, My season is over. It was quite an up and down season but overall I'm thankful for the opportunity to hunt and I'm looking forward to next year. Good hunting with you guys.

    Well guys, bow season ends here next Saturday. I was going to quit after I got my buck but the itch is back after I saw some bucks running through a field on my way home from work. Got another buck tag and I'm gonna hunt a few times before the season ends.

    Rattle bag vs Antlers

    I haven't had any success rattling. I've used a rattle bag and real antlers. However, it seems you can find plenty of examples on YouTube of guys who are successful. Especially THP - they seem to use them alot. I've read at least one scientific study that showed that rattling can be effective...

    I'm about to spend a few bucks.

    I'm currently shooting a Mathews Monster and I think I'm going to look at an Elite or Bowtech for my next bow - if I ever get the money. The reason I'd like a Bowtech or Elite is because of their tuning systems. As a fixed blade broadhead shooter and as someone who wants to tinker with their...

    Just a little guy. The shot ended up entering about 4" back from his shoulder and exiting out the guts on his offside. I guess he was more quartering to than broadside. Easy track job, he only went ~25 yards.

    Well guys just shot a buck. Broadside shot, a little back. He ran tail up about twenty yards, stopped, and fell over. When he fell he laid his head down, but he raised it back up. I can see him about 40 yards away bedded with his head up. I'm going to try and sneak out after dark and then come...

    No dice. I'll be back at again. I'm either resilient or stupid, or a little bit of both.

    Well everyone, I had a doe come in at 30 yards tonight broadside. Grabbed my muzzleloader, put it on her shoulder, and fired. The reaction was poor. She bounded off with her tail down. I didn't hear a crash. My muzzleloader didn't seem like it fired all the way. There was less recoil than...

    Yes, one buck and one doe. I've had a really slow season. Probably the slowest in the last 5 years. I'm going to try this weekend for at least a doe.

    Boot Recommendations

    I can't keep my feet from freezing when it's below 40 and I'm sitting for more than a couple hours, especially if there is a stuff wind. Most my spots are a half mile or less.

    Boot Recommendations

    All, I'm rocking some 5 year old Wolverine boots with 600 g insulation. I can't keep my feet warm for the life of me on early morning sits. My family is asking me what I want for Christmas, and what I'd really like is a nice pair of hunting boots. I've been looking at Danner, Irish Setters...

    Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving. Last time I got out I found a pretty good spot for does. Once I get the right wind I'll be back after it.

    Awesome deer. I'm still without a deer here in Illinois. Going to keep pressing on.
