Congrats on the kills.

Congrats guys. I'm on one of my favorite food plots for the first time this year. Had one blow at me when I was walking in. Maybe it didn't ruin my hunt.

Just had a 4 point cruise through. 9 yards, why not his daddy.

I sat till 1100 today and didn't see anything. Pulled cards from the cameras on the way out and have pics during mid day all week so lesson learn there.

Congrats johnal3!

Sat in my favorite spot at the farm till one this afternoon. Shared a tree with a hawk and had tree rats all around but no deer. Gonna go to club in the am instead of the farm in hopes of getting my buddy a deer. He's active duty Air Force and just got back from Iraq. I owe him a deer for protecting my freedom.

Thanks JD. You too man!

Didn't find mine. According to GPS the blood stopped at 300 yds. Shot mine at 7:30 and was hunting Bankhead. I've played it over in my head and the only thing I can come up with is it ducked which resulted in the high hit. I just hope it wasn't fatal.

...beast....again....second evening in a row, came 70 yards away and went into some brush. What a blessing just to be able to see him, especially when he was rubbing some limbs with those massive antlers. I'm right on his tail, if he keeps coming out during light hours he ain't gonna make it much longer

Had a spike come by 10min. before dark. Great day to be in a tree.

I slipped off a few minutes early from work and got sat down about 3:30. Started seeing deer as soon as I got still. Finally shot a big nanny a few minutes before it got too dark to see good.

Seen 2 does

I had a great hunt this evening! I had 2 nice bucks come in behind me to 35 yds, but I never could get a shot. Two small bucks were with them as well, and of course, they took the trail in front of me (in the wide open)...The biggest buck was a 3 year old 9 point that I have lots of pictures of. I'm thankful just to have seen him, but I sure wish I could've gotten a shot off! He's no giant, but this is the biggest buck I've ever had in bow range in 17 years of bow hunting...Maybe I can get on him again tomorrow.

Congrats guys. Gotta work in the morning but should I should be in the stand by 2:30 tomorrow afternoon. Hope one comes close enough.

Illusion

I was in the woods. Wound up seeing a doe and her twins. Big boy didn't show up.

Congrats on the nannerhead BrentM.

Congrats guys!

Shaw I tried some of those NAP Killzones like you've been using. I got the cut on contact ones. They didn't make as impressive of a wound as the pics you had the other day but they did open her up pretty good.

I prefer the Trophy Tip version. For some reason they seem to cut a little wider. Emmett killed his 8pt with the cut on contact version last Sauturday. It did its job, but the entry hole wasn't a quite as big as the pics I posted a couple of weeks ago. It was still plenty big though. It sliced 3 ribs in two. He didn't get an exit because his bolt buried up in the opposite shoulder. Emmett has shot Rocky Mountain Gators for years and swore by them. When he saw what the Killzone did to my second doe, he wanted try one. Now he's swearing by the Killzones.

I've been told that the trophy tips do cut bigger because they push the skin down on impact which in turn creates more skin to cut. Kinda like cutting 3" flat but folded your cutting more due to inward angle of the skin. I can only see that theory coming to light on entry. I imagine all the other compartments receive the same amount of trauma.
