I use a ghillie suit and they are excellent for cover, BUT they pick up every branch and burr within 5 feet of you. They often dont come out easily and it becomes a tangled mess. Before long it just becomes a burr suit. but there is a time and place for them.

Deer see blue jeans?? Even under a ghillie?

Putting stainless steel bolt in her would make her look awesome! but I dont think I would do it. Bright bolts throw light around. After sitting in the rain one time with my bow I noticed that everything had a light surface rust on it, and what I did is get a paint marker and just coat it with black ...

congratulations on breaking in the new slug gun with a nice looking doe

Congrats!! What an impressive first deer!! Bet he wont forget that hunting experience!

I've got a great dane. This dog is an excellent tracker. I have been told that they were originally breed for hunting in Germany? and you will never mistake him for a raccoon on a dark night :lol: This breed is an excellent family dog. My 1.5 year old son can do anything he want to it and it would n...

After 3 years of bowhunting I decided to try out shotgun hunting for the first time. My wife and i just had a new addition to the family this week so I knew my time in the woods was limited. I had a chance to slip out for an hour or two tonight, even though I did not like my odds with all the warm w...

I did a european mount with my first buck. I removed all flesh possible and boiled it. took it out and removed more flesh, boiled it again, and did those two steps one more time. I found that anything left came off really easy, but i did use a pressure washer to remove all brain matter once i was fi...

SM around here they will booby trap the area....Not so much for curious people but to deter being ripped off. Things like fish hooks strung on fishing line at eye level on trails to shotgun shells attached to rat traps as the firing mech. Cheers, Robin[/quote] Holy crap, the lengths some of these gu...

They look like good sized girls. Threee out of four seem to be looking your way, did they spot you?

I agree!! Better down than hanging around.

I've never used a climber, but why could'nt you just attatch a heavy string to it, climb up and than pull up your bow?

Congratulations on your new little girl! What a joy!!! Is this your first? VixChix, its my fourth! Its also my last. Many people think four is a large amt. of kids, but I have found that the love they put out is greater than the work put in. My 3rd, a boy, was also born during deer season. When he ...

Thanks Sandman, Shes beautiful!! I can almost forgive her for disturbing my first attempt at shotgun hunting I guess I was'nt thinking things through 9 months ago!
I wouldnt trade her for all the deer in the world.

I just set up a new stand in York on the weekend and was able to sit for an evening hunt. just before sunset the deer began swarming out of the woods, one by one, 10 in total!! 3 bucks and 7 does. they were dancing all around me, but I did not have one within 30 yards. 40, but not 30. not a comforta...
