Archery Hunting Photos

Looks a little better in the full size panorama. I took a series of photos at a spot that I scouted through a couple weekends ago and stitched them together into a panorama. Looked better in person than in the photos I think.

Last night was my second time out this year, actually, second time out bowhunting ever. No deer seen either time, but it is a bit early for this spot. Once the corn starts coming out, they'll use these trails to go back and forth from their bedding areas to the fields.

Thanks Don and stick! Was actually bow hunting on public land with my climber stand and 2 hens with about 6 little ones just happened to be roosted 60 yards from my tree without me even knowing it til I seen them drop from the roost. I dug out the call after I seen them hit the ground, gave a couple soft yelps and 10 minutes later they were at 17 yards in front of me. Right when they noticed something wasn't right up in the tree, I slowly drew back to see what they'd do and this hen gave me the clearest shot and she just so happened to stop still right after I drew. Nice quartering away shot, in through the left wing and out right below where the neck and body meet. She made it 8 yards and tipped over. Didn't look too closely at the damage but I did slice her esophagus and I'm sure her neck, as well as a pile of various parts of the vitals that fell out when I was cleaning her. Took a pic of the damage but didn't know if I could post it due to forum rules?

What - your foodplot? All this moisture has been a blessing for fall plots. The greens look so lush next to the dried beans. Tons of food right now though - everywhere. Bucks really pack the weight on this time of year.

I didnt have a chance to do any fall plots my spring ones i planted are dead besides some very small clover, i really should have planted fall ones they would have lasted.

Went this morning and filled the freezer. Hunted 2 days ago out of one of my ladder stands and watched 2 bucks and a number of does taking another route along the same field. Snuck in early this morning and went up in the climber and took her at 18 yards at 7:15 this morning. Double lung. Trotted 60 yards and went down in the field right in front of me. Ended the morning hunt as the next deer coming out spooked from her laying there. First blood with the new bow.

    • My kid was eating in Beverly Hills and ran into this guy. Talked to him a bit and wished him luck in the game tonight.     
    • 🤔as a recovering machinist!🤣🤣that must make me a recovering welder!
    • As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…
    • I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
    • Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
    • I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
    • You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.   
    • Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
    • The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there.  About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
    • It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway.  Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work.  You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water.  When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
