Legacy

Slow and quiet day so far. I have only heard about a dozen shots all day. 1 doe for the freezer for my hunting party so far. Cameras have shown better activity in the pm so now we sit and wait. Sent from my E6782 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Good morning LOU all the way from the North Carolina gun opener! Sitting overlooking an amazing 8 acre clover plot with acorn dropping oak trees inside of it and along the perimeter also and a timed corn feeder on both ends. Sent from my E6782 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

My bow was setup by Phil Race of Indian Mountain Archery. He was a huge fan of helical 4 vain fletching. It was designed to get the arrow spinning which helps accuracy and consistent arrow flight. Same theory as a rifled gun barrel. Sent from my E6782 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Food, cover, water. If you have all three then you have deer year round. Food plots are great. I would concentrate on creating prime bedding and then allow it to be an untouched sanctuary Sent from my E6782 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Yup. Gladly part of Phil's "communist" society. Sent from my E6782 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

The Z7 is locked and loaded. Carbon Express "Pile Driver" Hunter 250 with Nockturnal lighted nock and 100 grain Slick Trick magnums. Sent from my E6782 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Thanks for all of info guys. I took a ride to the new Field and Stream store in Henrietta today and purchased some Nocturnal lighted nocks. I put them on a brand new set of carbon express piledrivers. After a slight pin adjustment, which I believe was related to heavier fetching on the new arrows, they seem to shoot virtually the same as my standard nocks.10, 20, 30, 40 yards.

the topic of discussion today is "lighted nocks"... Its looking like Im about to add Nockturnal Lighted Nocks to my quiver. I think anything that helps you know shot placement and also helps you find your arrow after the shot is a big plus. you guys hunting with them? yes or no? are they worth the money? suggested brands? problems? other advantages?

Terrible hunting conditions but perfect day to hang a new stand. Sent from my E6782 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

The last few seasons i have shot Slick Trick 1" standards. I am currently shooting 100 grain slick trick 1 1/8" magnums. I made the switch to maintain the same arrow flight but a bit bigger cutting diameter. http://www.slicktrick.net/ Im looking for " the grass is greener" broadhead recommendations?

Some new videos... 3 sparring bucks (one is off camera) http://vid157.photobucket.com/albums/t68/boneyfish/PICT0034_zps9270a7e2.mp4 couple more sparring bucks, bigger bucks http://vid157.photobucket.com/albums/t68/boneyfish/PICT0054_zps74d857df.mp4 big young 8pt http://vid157.photobucket.com/albums/t68/boneyfish/PICT0014_zpsd9dbd56a.mp4

Awesome stuff!

I've struggled to put this into words but... last Monday I arrowed a big 8 pt and never found him. Typical 8, 120s". I have to believe he is one of the bucks that I actually have on film. I could not ask for a better setup. He's approached from left to right and slightly quartered away as he made his way past me. I was able to draw as he stepped behind a tree. Once he stepped out, a quiet mouth grunt stopped him in his tracks at 17 yards and I nailed him. He took off and I heard nothing other then him crashing through the thicket. And then silence. It was right at dusk when I shot him and it started to rain. The longer I sat there the harder it began to rain so I jumped down and began to search for my arrow. No luck at all. As the rain was increased I got to witness all of the evidence disappear. I left the woods and made a decision 3 hours later to wait until morning to search. I figured a blind search in the morning would lead to a dead buck in the thicket. No such luck. No arrow. No blood. No sign. 3 1/2 hours. No dead buck. Not a good feeling losing a deer. Absolutely brutal... Needless to say that put me on the bench for a couple of days but I'm happily back in the game again now. Sent from my E6782 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
