All of my friends and fellow board mates have a safe and happy Holidays!
After the usual rounds with the relatives Christmas day ,I'm off to that little cabin in the mountains for a week long flintlock/bow hunt......no running water, heat,phone, electric and certainly no computers! So everyone play nice while I'm away.....and I hope you all have at least one camo covered item in that stocking!

And even tho I believe Rudolph falls under fair game based on PA's new Antler Restriction game laws...........Have a heart,there's kids to think about!!

Matt,

You should switch to a recurve if you're gonna try a 50yd. running shot on a Whitetail.
I lead mine about 3' :^)

Matt, I'd lead it about 25 yds closer before I tied it to a tree.<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
Good luck, have fun. And have a safe trip.
