Re: How cold is cold for you?

It was -1F this weekend and I sat for 3 hours. Left due to boredom, not cold. Temp really doesn't matter when you have a Warmbag. It's a shame they went out of business. Love my Warmbag.

Re: Spitfire Performance

I've been shooting 100 g spitfires for quite some time with no issues. Very reliable regardless of setup. The fact that you had to shoot twice means it wasn't a double lung shot so I would be more worried about shot placement in the future than BH. That said, if you aren't confident in your BH you s...

Re: ignitor lighted nocks

I love these nocks. I use the green which are plenty bright in the woods and look great when filming kill shots

Re: Slow Season but Decent Video!

The kick was the clue that you hit him good! Nice video! Thanks. True however I rarely see the kick live. I'm not sure if it is because of the adrenaline rush but I find it difficult to visualize the shot immediately after. Because the deer walked past me so closely (5 YDS) I could see no exit woun...

Looks like a fine shot congratulations on your harvest looks like you killed a rock or tree as well I am guessing.
Thanks. The rock was fine however the Spitfire was rendered useless. A real shame considering I've used to kill 6 other deer.

Slow Season but Decent Video!

Season a bit of a disappointment. I won't bore you with the details however I missed most of the rut because my beautiful wife had hip surgery. Although I've been hunting hard since I've only seen two deer. One at last light which ended in a shot deflecting off a branch and embedding in a tree. (Too...

Re: Deer Interactive Shot Placement

Got frustrated with the 3rd target. Wouldn't take the shot anyway, moved the dot all over the target with no success. I'm done!!

Re: what do you do with your harvest

I like all venison. Butcher prepares loins, steaks and ground (for sausage). We eat the first 3 each year then share with others.

Re: Rubber boots

Early season I use unlined cheapo green rubber boots from Walmart. In the cold I use mickey mouse boots. Inexpensive and effective. Been good for hours in a stand in single digit temps with no trouble.

Re: Anyone else seeing this?

I've been watching post counts for a while on here. Now I've noticed that the post counts under your profile and avatar keep changing? And not just a little.! I've seen my post count go up from 2940 to 2945 then next day sign on and back down to 2941. Then as I go up higher towards 3000 it has chan...
