good target...

I've used a bag of peat moss for a target. Doesn't seem to harm the arrows and when the outside plastic gets shot up I just use the peat moss on the garden and buy another bag. My wife wondered why the bags of peat I got for her for use in the garden had holes in them...I just told her they were sec...

In the weeks before Christmas there are sales of imitation pine branches for decoration around the house. I found these are good for cover. I attach them to chicken wire and staple it to 4 ft stakes that can be bought bulk at most Lumber stores. Pull the stakes, roll it up and move to another area w...

I recently had a doe with fawn in tow stand and blow at my pop up blind for 10 minutes. She didn't run away, just stood there and blew and stomped her front foot.

Movement is a no no when either in a low tree stand or groud blind with little cover. I have shot a 12 point buck in a 15 ft ladder stand and had the opportunity to take a good doe (she was with a fawn so I passed) with a ground blind (with the wind in the right direction).
