I am shooting muzzy 4 blade 100gr and don't make any sight adjustments. I also have some rage, but had 2 bad experiences and haven't shot them since. I may try them again since I had my bow paper tuned and it is shooting better than ever. This could have been part of the reason for the bad experiences with the rages.

Thanks and my doctor says I will be on the blood thinners for the next 6 to 8 months to make sure the clots are gone. My leg still is swollen a little, but not like it was before I went into the hospital.

Well, I got back to the USA on Thursday evening. Then on Friday I spent the whole day at doctors appointments and my niece's surgery. Saturday saw rain in the morning and Christmas at my mother's house. Then Sunday had church in the morning, with picking up yard sale stuff right after. I finally got to the woods for my first hunt at 3pm. I sat knowing that I had less than 3 hours of buck hunting left in my season. I got up in my tree and looke around and the area all around my stand looked more like a pond than the woods that I normally hunt. I didn't even see a squirrel until almost 4:30, and they were outside the pond zone. I started thinking that the deer would probably avoid the area to avoid the water. Then at 5:15 I hear something moving behind me. I look and see a deer, but it looked like a fawn. I didn't even get up and get a better look. Then I see a buck walking in the woods to my left, but he didn't look big enough. Then he turned his head and I got a better look and he wasn't a yearling at all. Then a doe started moving towards the backside of my stand and he goes with her. I am now looking for a hole to shoot through. I find it and then him in it. I shoot and when the smoke clears I see a buck running towards my stand and turns and runs strait away from me. I look at my phone and it is now 5:25. I know that there isn't much light left, so I get down and walk to where I had last seen the buck. I don't see him and decide to wait until morning since there will be no blood trail in the standing water anyway. My son and I go out today and I am showing him where I had last seen the buck and the way he was heading and looked over towards where I had shot. I saw some white on the ground. I walked over to check it out and found my buck lying right where I had shot him. The other buck that we were going looking for hadn't been shot and probably would have been a long track. I hadn't seen the 2nd buck and assumed that he was the one that I had shot. I found out why I had deemed this buck to be smaller than I wanted and then changed my mind. The side that was closest to me as he walked to my right had a broken tine. Then he turned and the other side had the g3 that is 7" and I thought he was bigger. I don't have any pics sorry, but I am hapy with him after only 2.5 hours of hunting time.

The way that I have understood it. I have a lifetime license and can kill 1 buck and as many does as my county allows, and then go to another and kill their quota throughout the state. I have always just killed the deer with whatever weapon is legal, and written out my transport tag, and it goes under a lifetime license tag. I don't think that there is a worry about bonus, gun, or muzzle loader tag. If the weapon is legal and the area allows doe harvest you will be just fine.

I just got out of the hospital in Singapore and have found out that I have blood clots in my right leg. The doctor started me on blood thinners and some antibiotics. I am supposed to fly home in 9 days and am hoping that it is still a go. The doctor seems to think that it will be ok, but 27 hours on a plane with very little movement could be bad for me.

Wow after this last post I guess that I don't get to hunt after I get back to the states. I just have a question for you 7x. Did you kill a deer this year? and why does it matter whether I kill deer in October or December? They still aren't going to be there to breed and reproduce. The farmer that is on the land that I hunt has asked me to kill some when I get home, because there are more this year than last. So, all do respect I am going to do as my farmer has asked because I really like hunting there.

This looks great, but the tubing that was on the one he was using wouldn't even get close to touching on the trees that I have my ladder stands on. I had to go out and buy 8' ratchet straps to be able to get around them. The 6' one didn't make it. Yes, I like my tree and stand to be still most of the time that I am in it.

I am ready, but I won't be back in the U.S.A. until the 19th. That means that my opening day will be the 20th. That is if my niece's surgery goes smoothly and she is out early enough for me to get home before dark. If not the 21st in the morning will be my first sit, but my mother has planned her Christmas for Saturday. I just don't know what time yet.

Woody, Do the regs say that the blind has to be marked when occupied or when it is being hunted out of? I would say that during the time that orange is required that orange is required no matter who is occupying it.
