Vortex takes an 11 point buck

I have had several trail camera pictures of the buck but had seen him only once before last Friday evening. A doe came into my opening and walked right in front of me at about 22 yards. I was about to take her when the buck came out of the timber with his nose on her trail. He came right to her and ...

Re: One for one shots scott's family

Congratulations on the buck !! Watching the other buck must have been very entertaining. Deer never cease to amaze me when it comes to their behavior.

Red Lumenok

Big doe down in Illinois

I saw one deer in the distance opening morning. Went back to the same stand that evening. Around 6:45 a skipper stepped out of the woods about 35 yards in front of me. Soon the doe came out followed by another skipper. The doe angled in front of me and presented a perfect broadside opportunity at ab...

Scent Lock Clothing ??

Does anyone have experience with the scent lock type of camo clothing? Is it effective? and is it worth the $ investment? Any insights would be helpful before I decide whether or not to lay out the bucks $$.

My biggest buck with bow

I climbed into my stand, which is within walking distance of our house, about 30 minutes before light on opening morning (Oct. 1). It was enjoyable to just sit there as the day came to life. Just at first light I heard a deer walking in the timber but could not see it. A few minutes later the deer s...

Thanks to those that responded to my post.
I called Dan this morning. He will send a new scope upon return of mine - no questions asked. Great help !! BTW - my problem was that the crosshair shifted off center.
