I wonder,,,have you ever figured out your foot pounds of energy your producing? It has to be awesome knockdown power.

I took vacation from work this year to bow hunt from Nov 3'rd through the 9'th.
I will be looking for a chance to break my new Matrix 310 in properly

Good luck to you and enjoy your crossbow hunting as I know you will.

What broadhead was he using? I had a similar problem years ago with slicktricks. Not that far off, but always low/left and with a decent grouping. Switched from 4º to 8º helical on my fletching and the problem was solved. X2 I like a lot of spin on my arrows myself too. Better flight in lots of win...

X3,,,I'm working on gear right now myself, getting ready for Wed. morning! Good luck to all and enjoy the moments.

Couple of weeks ago was getting 50-75 pics every 4-5 days on trail cams in the below normal weather as it was low to mid 40's at nite, and no more than low 70's during the day. Now averaging about 12 pics same time frame as the weather is hot, upper 80's,and nights are back to mid 60's. Deer have wa...

Post your own opinion as to what you think. Seems its going to be a better year watching the bucks than last year, but I didn't have an...

I don't even shoot momma when she is with fawns with spots. Once the fawns get 50-60 lbs big,,then momma is a go for me as I know the young will survive on their own. I don't waste a tag on a small yearing either. too many other deer to shoot at and tag. I don't have a problem filling the freezer so...

Nice kill. Glad you got the bow broke in. After reading your nice story about your hunt, I ain't complaining now about our mid 80's in the evening for Oct. 1 opening day as its that hot here now. At least thurs, nite we have a cold front and rain coming in and going to cool us down towards the weeke...

Several times, I have been standing against a tree on a hillside next to a deer trail, wearing nothing more than the old fashioned tree bark camowear, (black/grey) face painted, gloves on, wind in my face, and have reached out, touching does, or slapping them on the ass, and watching them explode an...

Wabi,,sorry man,,I did delete the comments, but I guess not fast enough after thinking about what I posted. Not my norm on a forum on the net. Sorry.

comment retracted.

Interesting read and study on whitetail. I have read several articles on what they see and this one is a good one. Makes you think as to why don't the camo companies make me a camo suit out of red.

Good information, thanks for posting.

I know of old timers that age their deer 14 days hanging. I have done 10 myself. Your going to cut the outside edge of the meat off anyhow. I also burn the hair off with a hand small propane torch all over the carcass as its hanging. It will pop the hair right off as you barely keep the flame away f...
