    Property improvement ideas

    I recently purchased a 17 acre property and want your ideas on how to make it a buck magnet. It's a rectangle that is approximately 165 yards wide by 500 yards deep. The first couple hundred yards off the road is where the house and barn are located so there's not much I can do to improve deer...

    WNY hunting ???

    Hey guys I could use your help. I've grown tired of grinding out seasons year after year hunting in southeast NY counties with poor deer densities. This year I will be spending my time in western NY, specifically targeting Steuben county because it's always number one in the state for buck and...

    Let's talk liver shot deer

    I dropped a doe on Friday night when I got home from work which has me questioning the accepted practice of waiting 6 - 8 hours before attempting to recover a liver hit deer. There were three of them calmly feeding in my backyard food plot which is the first time they've been in there during...

    Video editing software suggestions

    I've been playing with a couple of GoPros and a tactacam mounted to my bows because I want to see if I can get a kill shot on video this year. I have taken videos of 20 and 30 yard shots at my targets and would like an editing software that will allow me to playback one frame at a time. I'm...

    Early for trail cams?

    I've got a couple of out of state hunting grounds that I hunted for the first time last year and only put out cameras right before the season in one spot and towards the end of the season at another. These areas are a touch over an hours drive so I was thinking to do some scouting this upcoming...

    Increasing draw weight and tuning

    Because deer season is too many months away and I like to tinker, I decided I'm going to increase the draw weight on my bow and am curious as to how much if any will it affect arrow flight and tuning. If the bow was paper tuned and shooting bare shaft bullet holes at 60 lbs, would it shoot any...

    I'm in the market for a new bow sight and would like to hear your thoughts how you go about deciding which style of sight to use and any good or bad experiences you may have had with a particular brand.

    Heavy arrow (525gr+) speed reference list

    I decided to start this thread because I'm sure I'm not the only one who thought to themself "How does my "heavy" arrow setup compare to others in terms of speed". Now all of us who made the switch to a heavy arrow setup knew going in that we were willingly giving up arrow speed with the...

    NJ hunting?

    I'm in the early stages of planning to hunt in NJ for the first time ever and could use some help with understanding the regulations in regards to the different bow seasons. As of this moment, I decided I will focus my hunting efforts in zones two, three and six. Feel free to offer ideas on...

    Random contest stats

    Guys who work for me tell me I have a "thing" with numbers because at my job I'm always asking for them. I have thousands of numbers available to me at my finger tips which help to keep the powerplant I work at operating safely and efficiently. These numbers play a very important part in the...

    I consider myself a successful deer hunter with years of experience and knowledge gained from prowling the woods here in southern NY but have recently found an area I am lacking in my deer hunting skillset - late season/end of season hunting. So I'm here now looking for you to fill in the...

    Sitka Fanatic sizing?

    For those who are using the Sitka Fanatic bibs and jacket... How do those pieces run as far as sizing, slightly smaller, bigger or dead on? I'm about to treat myself to an early Xmas surprise but am not sure what size to order. I have First Lite gear that I ordered in medium and they fit...

    Mystery Ranch pack noise

    I used my MR popup 28 yesterday for the first time and found it to be very noisy, both the material and the zippers. I never thought it was loud when I was home filling it up with my stuff and walking through the woods to my hunting grounds it was silent but all that changed once I was in the...

    EZ-V sight _ SOLD please close

    This is an EZ-V I had on a backup bow. It's practically brand new and has never been hunted or in the woods. That bow was sighted in and has been hanging on the wall since then. Decided to swap to a different style of sight and set bow up for long range shooting. Still have an EZ-V on my primary...

    Sight recommendations for long distance

    Thanks to @kyler1945 and his thread on archery practice, he got me thinking and I've decided to add long distance shooting to my shooting sessions. My practice sessions are meant to replicate hunting scenarios so I shoot from a setup exactly how I would be if it was during the season meaning...

    Tuning humor

    This was posted on Rokslide and then on AT and I thought it was hilarious so I figured I'd share it here. No matter where you find yourself leaning in regards to bow tuning, if you can't appreciate the humor you're way too insecure and should seek medical help. . . Over the past two years of...

    replaceable blade knives - worth the hype?

    I've been doing research on how to pack out game and the proper kill kit necessities and see practically everyone carries and recommends a replaceable blade knife like a Havalon or Gerber to name a couple. I've been carrying a 5" fixed blade Buck knife for over 15 years and have gutted and...

    Was the change worth it? Kill data survey

    Many of us here have been unhappy with our arrow's terminal performance in the past and have made changes to our builds and broadhead selection for this season in the hopes of seeing better results on game. We've seen the Ranch Fairy become a household name and is responsible for opening the...

    Getting it up??
