    Stabiliser setups - pros and cons of quivalizer and rear stab vs front and rear bar with bow quiver

    It balances perfectly in hand during a stalk. It rolls forward ever so slightly after the shot.

    When do WT antlers drop in your area?

    Central KY. December to March, but it definitely peaks in February. We normally find our biggest sheds right around Valentine's day, but last year I saw a bachelor group with antlers in late March.

    Stabiliser setups - pros and cons of quivalizer and rear stab vs front and rear bar with bow quiver

    I use a quivalizer currently but with a modification. When the quivalizer was all the way on front of my bow it was very front heavy. I didn't want to add a back bar. Instead, I balanced the bow by moving the quiver. To find the right balance, I ziptied a mounting bracket to the side of the...

    60 vs 70 lbs

    I'm also thinking about getting a new 60# bow. I've been shooting a Diamond Triumph solo cam since 2007. It's actual numbers: 67 lbs 28.5" draw 432 grain arrow 262 fps 66 ft lbs of energy I'm very happy with terminal performance. Pass through shots on dozens of whitetails. 100 grain slick...

    2023 Whitetail Meat Pole

    I'm a new landowner as of August. Just bought 33 acres in central Kentucky. This is my first deer on my own place. I shot this 6X8 Nov 15. I sent a photo to my banker and told him I made a good investment that paid real dividends. He laughed and congratulated me😊

    162 Eld x bullets that bad?

    I dropped three whitetails last year with 6.5creedmore eldx. One dropped in its tracks. The others ran 30 and 50 yards. Those were my first deer with a rifle. 20 years of bowhunting before that so I can't compare eldx to other bullets

    quick skull cleaning for traveling

    Not saying this is the best way, but this is what we do: 1) skin it, cutting most of the meat off but don't go crazy. Boiling later will make the remaining meat come off easily 2) focus on getting as much of the eye and brain matter out. Use a sharp knife and pliers alternately to get the eye...

    What binoculars should I get for a first time hunter ?

    I can give Nikon two thumbs up. I bought their Monarch 10x42s circa 2008 for $300 I think. When I sent them in for repair in 2023 (dry rotted lens covers and broken eye cups) without a warranty card they returned them to me immaculately cleaned with new eyecups and new lens covers. For free...

    Rabbit and hare hunting in different parts of the country

    Same. I got into swamp rabbits when I lived in western Kentucky. First one I ever saw was caught in a snare I set in a beaver/otter/rabbit slide in the Blood River. My experience hunting them was they did not run as fast or far as a cottontail. They are easy to hunt once you find them. And...

    Rabbit and hare hunting in different parts of the country

    That's really interesting. Sounds like a technique passed down from harder, simpler times. I respect that! . . . and I bet they have some finger licking cuisine!!
