Was able to hunt yesterday evening and this morning. No dice yesterday. This morning I spooked them coming in and they circled back around, came downwind and busted me.

You will get there and set up at the right time soon! Stay optimistic, I couldn't get spun around on an old nanny Friday morning before she got downwind of me. She never blew, but trotted off in disgust!

I got a doe today in Nockamixon state park in SE PA. I posted about it in the hunting forum. I don't know if it has contest points.

Sweet action! You'll want to post it on the submission thread. Supposed to have a picture of the deer with the saddle in it and be sure to say it's for team 11. Way to get us on the board! I'm going to try to post a link to that thread below. https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink/to...share_tid=18432&share_fid=104184&share_type=t

Thanks for posting the link. I did a full description in the hunting thread but I could not find the submission thread.

Electrical Rope Pusher Pole Success

I used my 10 foot electrical conduit rope pusher to push the rope up a tree. It worked. I shot a doe. Now I can try for the buck. My tether was set at 17 feet which seems kind of low but the leaf canopy was around there so I could not see as far if I went higher. It was so thick in there at...

Just welded up my primal platform!

Have you welded much? In order to get a strong bong you must melt the base metal. Moving the tip of the electrode in tiny circles is recommended. If your welder is just small you could try preheating with a propane torch. Your welds may be strong enough. I would beat it with a large hammer to try and break the welds. If you can't it should be good enough.
I tried a separate wooden platform and the two separate pieces were too much for me. I attached an aluminum plate so I have one piece to handle on my Primal platform.

I took my big hammer and gave it several good whacks! All's well. I don't weld much anymore, however I used to weld everyday for years. I have a 110 volt Lincoln mig welder at work I used. It does a decent job but the flux core wire sure pops alot. I haven't had an opportunity to stand on it yet.
 
I posted this on the Bonehead moves thread figuring it would get a laugh. All it got was blanks.
Maybe our team might get a laugh. All this is true. the names have been changed to protect the innocent.

On Saturday, my quiver popped off my bow when it got caught in brush as I was pulling it up. Rappelled down then ascended back up RADS. With one stick it would have been brutal. I descended and ascended one more time, I can't remember why. I am convinced I chose the right climbing method.
On Tuesday, I went into the thick stuff at 8:30AM. I shot a doe at 10:30 AM. Left my rope tethered up the tree while tracking. Found deer and gutted. Did not have a drag rope. Put crossbow on ground. Dragged deer ahead 30 yards down deer trail by hand. Went back to get crossbow and moved it ahead of deer 30 yards. Repeat 5X then came to horse trail and proceeded to drag deer by hand down horse trail. Have to go get my rope and stuff to the right. Hey, where is my crossbow? Go back to deer trail to get crossbow. Drag deer with right hand holding bow in left hand. Nerve shock runs through right arm. Take right into thorny brush to get rope and pushpole. Did remember to tie my red gear hanger to the tree nearest to where the deer was when shot. Retrieved rope and pushpole and went back out to horse trail, tied deer to rope and dragged her out. Another uneventful hunt. :grinning:
