    Do any of you use Lighted Nocks?

    I noticed one person say they had issues with the lighted nocks breaking their arrows. Never used them, but are they significantly different when removing an old nock and replacing with a new one (in terms of difficulty etc.)?

    Small Hunting / House / Mountain Dog

    If you’re willing to budge on your size like others have suggested, there is a variety of bully (specifically pit or staffy mixes) breeds that can fit this model. I.e my male boxer-pit bull sits around a lean 53lbs, loves to find pheasants, has a sense for danger, but loves adults, kids, and...

    Beginner Caliber and Rifle

    Couldn’t agree more, I alternate between a .243 and a .270 x bolt. .243 is definitely my safe go to when In doubt and is definitely enough to take down a white tail.

    Practice Arrows and Hunting Arrows

    Certainly no issues. I personally like using the same arrows because of repetition. However, during the summer months when I’m going to courses/places I don’t know, I like to use cheaper but similar spec arrows so I’m not upset if I lose one or something.

    3 or 5 pin??

    Big 3 pin guy, hate the clutter like others have said. HOWEVER, as of this year I felt the need to switch to a 5 pin. The land I hunt has zero trees, overall is mostly flat, but has some hills. Because of this, it’s difficult to get within 50 yards sometimes leading for me to feel like I need my...

    SD public land

    One to thing to keep in mind, farmers pay to rent the state/school land whether it be for crops, grazing, or bales. It is not their responsibility to leave crops for others to hunt nor bales. When they do, we should all be appreciative. Truthfully, I’d probably be pretty protective too if I...

    Best state to kill a BIG whitetail - GO!

    As many have identified, there are numerous states with monsters roaming about. From my own experience, I’d have to say that SD and ND have produced some of the largest deer I’ve seen. I’d imagine this a result of the game fish and parks being protective of the deer population along with a...

    Shooting Deer In FoodPlots...Can They Smell It???

    In own experience it may catch their attention depending on how recent the kill is. However, this could be good as I’ve noticed sometimes the smell of urine has (maybe?) attracted a few deer in on a windy day.

    Worst Deering Hunting Advice?

    “Only approach deer with the sun behind you, they will never see you since they’re nocturnal and hornier than their head.”

    Whitetail - I keep getting winded

    Something to consider once you’ve identified that you’ve been winded, physically what do you do next? Being in SD where there is minimal hiding once winded (when not in a blind of some sort), I’ve found that being winded alone is not a deal breaker. One’s own body movement also plays a part and...

    What do you carry in that backpack??

    Certainly dependent on weather. However, in SD my staples of things I carry (I try not to use a back pack, I like a neon orange waist pack): flash light, bottle of water, arrow repair items (or shells for rifle season), tag, hand warmers, cliff bar(s), and a sucker! Just really depends what I’m...
