Pulled a couple cameras this afternoon. This is about as good as the bucks get for me. Either one came into range and presents a shot expect an arrow to be flying!!

same here i think either of those are shooters to me i'm no trophy hunter i would love to bag and tag a big "10" but either of those have scoreable points and would put venison on the table. i think it has been said if everyone on the team scores even a small 6 or somthing we could be in the running alot of trophy hunters in other teams that would pass on those i think .

on a side note i just picked up my "NEW BOW" an Archery Research 34 70# 30" draw i was going to get a fall away but went with new biskit instead seem to work great icon stabilizer and a HHA slide single pin sight so i will be doing alot of shooting to get ready for oct 1st opener !!

Well, I managed to get a doe to fill the earn-a-buck requirement, so now I'll be trying some observation stands to pinpoint a good buck. The doe I shot was the first with a spitfire broadhead. I was given a pack this year as a gift to try, and my first experience was not that impressive. Sure, it did the job, but the blood trail was not spectactular, as promised, and the deer would have been just as dead with a Thunderhead, which I normally use. Actually, there was very little blood on the ground. The entrance was midway up the body, and the exit out the bottom of the body (the shot was only 5 yards), but the exit hole became plugged up, and after 20 yards, there was no blood. The deer traveled about 80 to 90 yards from the shot.

Good luck to all those starting next weekend.

Nj, Congrats on the harvest

IMO, I shoot spit fires and muzzy's from my experience and hearing many others myopic views. Normally on an exit if the path of the arrow travels through the lower portion there's a greater chance of not seeing a spectacular blood trail and that the exit whole will become plugged. We even spoke about that in the IBEP class today.

Take Notice!! Rules
 
I thought I would point this out so there is not mistakes when it comes to members entering a buck into the contest. Please make sure you are aware of this rule in particular.

You must have a pictured posted on the contest page within the Official Score Card thread to enter a deer.
The buck must have a tag visable(if tags apply to your state),
the bow must be in the picture
and the entire deer must be in the picture,

no skull pictures, no rack pictures...
the buck, the bow, the tag and yourself must be in the picture
The other rules are found HERE but this one really can mess you up if you don't have the picture taken correctly.

RE: Take Notice!! Rules
 
The long waited anticipation of the season is almost near! Three nights and a wake up and arrows will go flying!!!..lol I will be taking it easy at work from here out, you know no finger cuts etc..lmao 5 Days off beginning Oct 1 thru the 5 Woahhhhhhh Nelly!!!!!!!!!!!!

I must admit this, if a nice doe comes into range she's down, I need to insulate the deep freezer...lol
