sounds like you ran into a jerk. Most are not like that in my experience.

I know lots of guys who hunt 2-3 days a year. think about getting the license the week (or friday night) before then go hunting opening day and maybe the sunday following and the next weekend. Not how we do it... IT IS BLOWING ME AWAY THE AMOUNT of folks just now asking me about this rifle thing....proves the theory even more that gun season truly does see a lot of folks that think of hunting for maybe a 3 or 4 week window and that is it. BEFORE anyone says it I'm not saying anything is wrong with that...but folks wonder why hunters can't get on the same page or at times feel like their voice isn't heard....well perhaps if you cared for more than November....

four blade 150 gr slick tricks for me in my crossbow.
I shoot grim reapers in my compound right now. I have shot 100 and 125 slick tricks with great success in it as well.

Looking at options to upgrade from the stock scope on my Excalibur.
What do you all shoot and would reccomend for an upgraded scope?
I don't think I need illuminated but would not rule it out.

"What’s driving the coal industry into bankruptcy is the free market — competition from cheaper, more abundant natural gas and renewable energy. Meanwhile, the costs of mining coal have increased. Coal production decreased in 2015, and the Energy Information Administration projects it will fall an additional 16 percent this year.
Coal is just no longer a profitable industry in the U.S."

had some luck with them. All about timing and location. Need to be during the rut and highly visible so you don't spook deer with them.
I will be using a buck decoy in the morning. I only use them during the pre rut and rut time and only a buck decoy.

Just a matter of time before I connect with one.

My oldest son killed a doe opening day of youth season with his .243. PERFECT deer round.
I was impressed. Never seen a deer shot with one before. He shoots some incredible groups with it at the range too. Perfect round and rifle for him. I like the new rules...

Interesting.
It is tempting but I am looking in another part of the state for the right property.

correct. But the only way to hunt this public land is to pay to rent the whole place. When I rent a campsite or shelter it does not come with the rights to hunt the place. Big difference. The state of Indiana leases land for hunting now. Publicly owned and leased. Guys, this is not right! You rent the place.... It's not just hunting!!! It's horseback riding and so on.... No different then renting a camping spot or a log cabin at one of the state parks!!

light is on my head and ON when heading in the dark on public ground!! when in my 1st or 2nd year I was waiting for my buddy after an evening hunt. As he was walking accrost the field I could have swore he was a deer. Luck for both of us we were well aware of gun safety and I never once shouldered the gun. After that we decided to always have a small light on when walking out. Deer don't carry flashlights!

used to be 12,500 acres at it's peak. Some of the best hunting and fishing around. Peabody is bankrupt and desperate and selling off land like crazy now.

what a shame. So many great hunts on this former public property over the last 20 years. Likely the best public hunting and fishing spot in Indiana for many years.
