Last fall I killed deer at 30, 40, and 8 yards. I use the rest on my viper stand as a shooting rest and am rock solid to 40 yards.
This spring I killed a turkey at 5 yards.

Excalibur matrix
60 yards, 40 is my limit on shots at game though

I love my excalibur matrix. I have owned ten points before and prefer this bow over them.
Killed 3 deer and one turkey with it since last October. All one shot kills.

I avoid the woods in summer and early fall, first time I will be back in is when I am going in to hunt. I have the spots picked, lanes cleared, groundwork is laid. I just go in and hunt undisturbed deer. ... In December and January the secondary trails, more preferred by mature bucks,stand out like a sore thumb. Any clean scrapes (no leaves) are more than likely the breeding scrapes. Any found sheds indicate that buck made it through the deer hunting seasons. It is a good time pick out stand sights as the leafless trees can tell you if you will be sky lined come late fall and early winter hunting. Good time to clear shooting lanes too.

Right they are paying more than $300/deer to have them removed. Hunters would have done it for free and just as safely and efficiently

Yes....The effort comes at no cost to taxpayers.

like someone said, finding the escape routes will be the key on these pressured hunts!

wow, I am now a whole lot less excited about the hunt I have found out that Newport will be hunted HARD!There will be hunts every day from October 8th through December 18th. There will be anywhere from 74 to 116 hunters a day hunting. IF you were drawn for any December hunts those are MUZZLELOADER hunts.

take a look at the arial and topo maps of the park, the majority of area 2 does NOT have a single trail through it.

some around me has been picked this week...they picked part of the field then they quit due to high moisture
It won't be too long now and lots around here will be coming out of the fields.

how about choice C ;D
SLICK TRICK..muzzys are great also ;D ;D
Here's the deal, rages are great heads UNTIL you make a less than perfect hit, then you wish you had a simple fixed head.
