Had finally figured how deer have changed up since Our last group of storms. Setup a small cut in the thicket 25 yards from acorns Had a 2 x 2 ft shooting window This year doing a herd clean up. Removing deer that do not need to be in gene pool. Deer came in on a pipe line 50 yards out on the other ...

I have a rope cocker that I have used for over 5 years
I shoot about every other day
When I asked the Doc

I will mix 1 part vanilla extract 1 part sugar cane syrup (southern thang) 1 part almond or walnut extract will spry on soles of boots
Has worked very well for me
Recipe came from a board site

Snugs
String is at post office in mail box

Hit board index
Go to trading post
You will find those that make and sell them
Most I believe are around $20

Yes Flemish is upgrade
There are a lot of members that make great strings
And yes they are worth the upgrade

Last week out walking fence line. Had a gentleman walk up and introduce himself. Come to find out he owns the 1800 acres surrounding the 50 acres I hunt. He asked if I did any hog hunting (my new love). So after some talking. He has 6 deer on his hit list. I get all the hogs I want. I also can take ...

My setup is Grizzly with a Flemish string
Bolt total weighted is 406grn
Chrono readings are 297 fps

No heavy winds here and no flooding

Crazy how bad did you get hit in your area?
We have had a steady rain today last night had a few good storms roll thru

For the last 2 weeks feeder has been barren
Rain started yesterday here in east Texas
In a break in rain went out to check feeder to find a nice 9 point
Upset did not take 355

We setup a thermacell
had an old pair of stinky socks
put socks at bottom of tree thermacell set at 8ft
turned it on had deer walk past tree
they never noticed the socks
don't know but seems to work for scent cover

Boot question
Would 6" or 8" work best

I have read some have had problems some have not
Just an idea
How about those having problems put in there bolt weight
Those having no problems put in there bolt weight
Lets see if it could be a weight problem
I know Excalibur says 350 min most other xbows with these speeds are say 400+

CO regs makes it look like 355 will sit out on hunt
Will be taking Matthews Monster instead
This week will be putting together a shopping list will post to see what ya'll think
