RE: Face paint, headnet or nothing?

I go with face paint since I use a kisser button. A mask or net hampers me from getting my proper anchor point.

My pins are very fuzzy when I come to full draw if I focus on the target. They clear up when I focus on the pins but then the target is fuzzy. My eyes are fine and I've tried different peep sizes but...

RE: Treestand Touch Up

Why touch it up at all? Since we know the stand won't rust, you don't have to worry about weak spots. I would leave it as it is for now....it adds break-up to the siloutte of the stand.

There is NO absolute way to tell whether a buck or a doe made a track unless you see the animal standing in them. End of story.
