Congrats!

If you hunt hardwoods, you can't beat a climbing stand. Great for one time sits in new areas. It's the equivalent of "running and gunning" of tournament fisherman :D . Well said and I second that sentiment. HOWEVER, when I take my son out, I'll be using a ground blind (he's 9 now). -Mike

climbing/portable treestand for two?

As a Dad with two young boys, I'm going to have a need for a treestand for two people in the not too distant future. The kicker is that it needs to be rather portable since so far, I'm only hunting public land and wouldn't want to risk it being stolen (my blood boils at the thought a hunter would st...

Re: 52 yard shot

...He said his range finder showed the buck to be 52 yards off. ...It was a bit breezy this morning too. As he told me when I said, "Good shot!" , he said, "More like good luck". IMHO, the last comment shows why the shot should not have been taken. The flight time is TOO LONG to...

Dragging Deer

If you are forced to drag......

My Brother bought one of those plastic sleds that kids use (shaped like a long mussel/clam shell). He rolls the deer into that & then pulls the sled.

Ugh......

Especially as a new Crossbow hunter in PA, I am deeply saddened by this.

I applaud the plan to seek the maximum sentence!

What a waste & shame.
