The sun is out to get me. I retire to the high ridge where a light breeze delivers some comfort and the thick canopy creates a dramatic contrast of light and dark. It’s cool amongst the crown...

If animal was very close to branch it probably wore shrapnel... It's always been said heavy n slow preforms better in that scenario but testing has shown it's always a gamble. PERSONALLY I use big...

So this morning I finally accomplished a goal I set 4 years ago, to get a deer with the bow. I got back into bowhunting in late 2020, and managed to get a pig in Dec 2020. A nice big boar. In March...
