Very interesting how closely the hair pattern matches our deer at my place.

So this was her on Aug 22, based off the image details from when she and her fawn were in our front yard. And this is her this morning. From this angle you can't tell from the pic it's her, but I know it's her because I drove right past her coming down the driveway. Her fawn isn't with her...

Curious observation, I'd be interested to hear if anyone else has seen anything like this. We have a "yard doe" that has been hanging around the property all summer. She's been easy to spot for the last week+ because she has sort of a spotty coat. It's like her fall coat started coming in early...

In my compound days, I loved the old Slick Trick Magnums. Since going trad, I've shot too many heads to pick one, honestly. Give me any 200 grain single bevel with a straight edge (like a Cutthroat) and I know I'll be able to easily sharpen it and it will kill animals dead.

There are good deer here. At least, there have been in the past. Prior to owning the place, it was one of those deals where I had to clear it with the landowner every time I came out, and it was far enough from home that quick/spontaneous "need to hunt right now" hunts weren't really possible...

Yea, EHD sucks. I can't just give up on the season, though. Who knows what will still be left to hunt by the time late September rolls around, but I vow to be ready either way. Hopefully I do a better job of documenting this season. It's exciting being the first year with enough acreage of our...

We all know there's a simple solution to this issue.

I'm partial to their "Bad day to be a spike" shirts. :LOL:

I drove home to Athens from Marietta last night, on the road from roughly 7pm-8pm on a relatively cool night. I should have kept more accurate count, but I'd closely estimate I saw around 20 deer on the drive home. On a night like that, with the soybean fields around Guysville/Canaanville, that...

Been riding a bit of a heater as far as shooting goes for the last couple of weeks. I made a minor change in form and it's paid a lot of dividends when it comes to consistency. What I had been doing, best I could tell, was actually over-drawing a bit. It led to feeling like I was "fishing" for...

I walked our property last night here near Athens. I haven't smelled anything around the property, but I have noticed my pics over the mineral site have decreased a bit. I did find one dead doe, and she appeared to have been dead for a while. Reported the find to ODNR.

I firmly believe your broadheads should be sharp enough they scare you. Something I wanted to try with the new VPA 3-blade heads I recently bought was sharpening them using a belt sander. I bought a pack of belts for my little Delta in 600/800/1000 grit. Someone will probably tell me it's...

I'm mildly embarrassed to admit it, but I'm not an arrow guy, meaning I don't have dozens of arrows for each setup I own. I started shooting the Widow last year and had SIX (didn't even buy a full dozen) arrows built for that bow. I don't lose arrows, I don't break them shooting groups, and I...

I'm really digging these VPA heads. Ready to send one at an animal. Cold shot last night, broadhead from 18.
