    Interesting. We live in the middle of a woods. There are nearly 0% clear skies yet our service is good. Then again, I don’t even know half of what you were just talking about. lol.

    MSU Deer Lab - Studies

    Some of you may remember this one. He lived at my house. The first year I had the drone I kept an eye on him nearly every day for two months. I can say based off this particular deer if you want to kill an older buck early in the season, on a feeding pattern, you need to be set up inside...

    That was the only time out service has been out in the time we’ve had it. And it was not a very long outage.

    Star Link

    We’ve had it for a year or so. Living in the middle of nowhere, it is awesome. At least relative to any other service we have had. It was quick and easy to set up too.

    Water Access

    I used to use a canoe a lot to access areas of a local WMA. I no longer hunt that WA. At the time I felt it was worth doing. Sorry but I don’t think I have anything of value to add. You already consider the safety aspect of it, to me that is the most important consideration. No one can...

    I think they usually set 30 to score but you’re free to shoot it as many times as you’d like. I may be incorrect on that because I’ve always just shot one day and went home.

    Feather Fletchings w a Compound

    Anderson 245, yeah I remember them. I used to worry a little about wet fletching… until I paid attention to FOC, which you just said you never did. You were also likely shooting aluminum shafts, you definitely were when shooting the Anderson heads. Aluminum is a much heavier material than...

    Feather Fletchings w a Compound

    Yeah, he lost some FOC with his back end set up, but it is still much better system than he was shooting prior I think he said he is around 18% now, but the 200 grain Iron will out performs those junk mechanicals he was shooting off a more balanced arrow. Doesn’t hurt to have a 35” draw...

    Well this is a first

    We had one that stopped by our house for a month at a time, two or three years in a row. My daughter was little and absolutely loved to see the thing come back each year.
