Thank you Skipper for sharing your story. I believe that woods is begging for your return.

As for equipment... Mathews Z7 28.5" draw and 62# draw weight Sight= Copper John Dead Nuts Quiver= Apex Rest= QAD Ultra Rest Release= TRU Ball Stinger Arrows= Carbon Express Pile Driver Nocks= Nockturnal LIghted Nocks Broadhead= Rage Hypodermic

We all have our different methods. To each is own. At the end of the day, being competent and confident in our equipment is everything. I began shooting longer distances after listen to a friend talk about shooting 50, 60, and even 70 yards and then witnessing him do so. Was he a "great" shot at 70? relatively speaking? maybe? Dinner plate at 70 seemed pretty good to me. But the big thing was his groups inside of 40 yards were impressive. 10, 20, 30 yards seemed like nothing. That day changed the way I shoot. I wish every shot was 15-25 yards but I have no issue shooting out to 40 yards with confidence.

Kill something!!!

How to Predict the Rut http://ecosystems.psu.edu/research/projects/deer/news/2014/can-you-predict-the-rut

My thoughts too. If i can shoot 40-50 yards than inside 40 will look easy.

Happy to be punching solid groups inside of thirty. 35&40 yards on the bag still needs some work though. Sent from my E6782 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Ive used one. Not a fan. I like to freshen mock scrapes on my way in to the stand and I also believe there are better scrape scents available on the market.

On my sixteenth birthday my father bought me my very first gun. At the time 16 was the age that all of us entered the woods to hunt deer for the first time and that gun was given as a present for just that reason. It was a used Mossberg 500 12 gauge and its what help me harvest my first deer. This past week I passed the gun on to my son. This upcoming season, he will be joining us in the big game woods, at age fourteen, in the same right of passage that we all had a chance to experience as a youth. He was pretty excited and I might of been just as excited! In the Spring he shot his first turkey and im hoping that his luck continues into the 2016 deer season for him!

Well the poison ivy has taken over my arms as a result of moving stands last weekend and it sucks. Apparently short sleeves are never a good idea when hugging a tree and attaching straps. Hopefully its worth the pain and suffering when its game time. I also moved one last tree stand before the season this week and check a camera close to the site. All does so far which is quite typical of the camera at this time of year.
