Ah yes, the noise factor. Question: Has anyone ever had a deer jump when you were drawing your bow (compound, recurve or longbow), the arrow makes a very slight noise on the arrow rest...and that deer is outta here?!!!! Another question: If your answer was yes to the first question, do you suppose ...

Very nice. Congratulations.

Many have been found on our place but I've just never really looked for them. One relative used to come a couple times every year to look and did find several. We have an uncle who has a good collection like the one posted.

This has probably came up before and if so, please forgive me. I say if you buy a trail cam to be sure to get an IR camera. For a long time I argued that the flash did not bother deer...and I was half right. I had talked to many folks and the serious ones all advised to get IR cameras because most b...

Michigan has a very mixed bag. As for our place, the numbers aren't just down, they've almost hit the bottom! For many years I could hunt next to our open area and see from 20-50 deer almost every time I hunted. Not so this year! Many times this year I got totally skunked and saw nothing. It appears...

The wonderful warmth of wood heat when I come back from hunting and I'm really cold. One could almost hug that wood stove!

Welcome Tom. Now if you have a choice between vehicles on hitting more deer, please chose the truck. Hitting them with the bike just is not fun!

My lady hunted for many years until physical problems took their toll. But now, she is talking like maybe next year she will try again!!! Hooray! As for the guy/gal thing, I guess I'm weird. I even say guys when I'm talking to a bunch of girls! Never had any of them take offense either. As for the d...

Be sure to shake that can real good before spraying.

I once knew a couple who had a pet doe. The deer was fine most of the time, but they told me of someone who once tamed a buck. That buck used to roam in downtown Hillman, MI and came close to killing a child before they got rid of it. Seems once the rut starts, they can change in an instant. We also...

sipsey, I don't see how that could cause any problems with arrow flight. Has to be something else for sure.

Hi folks! I wasn't going to post here because I know how these things usually go and knew what the answers would be before I read them! However, I'll give it a shot anyway. Background. My first deer hunt was in 1958, so I have seen a few seasons and have had a couple encounters with a few deer. I've...

By the way...just to get back to the original question. I use a product called Secur-Vision. I'm sure you can buy it online http://www.securvisiononline.com/ . This stuff works! SD On the web site they claim it to last 2-3 days. Do you find that to be true? Cat Crap is one of the better ones I've t...

Done.
