    Successful Trad Hunters: How do You Train? What are your Habits for Success?

    My mantra if you will is...pick a spot, see the shot, execute. Pick a spot is just that picking a tiny spot on the animal I want to hit. See the shot encompasses draw, anchor and alignment check and execute is the transition into pulling through to break a clean shot.

    Successful Trad Hunters: How do You Train? What are your Habits for Success?

    As for the anxiety of watching an animal before you have a shot opportunity. Remember that until that animal is in your effective range, you are still hunting so relax and enjoy the encounter cause you cant kill him yet anyway. Once you or it is in your effective range is when killin time starts...

    It sounded like you were referring to a similar incident here in Little Rock where the homeowner was shot and killed because he was trying to defend his home from a pre-dawn raid like that...

    You western folks thought public land hunting was bad....

    Depending on where you were hunting, it was not far from that back in the early 90's. It has always been bad here in certain areas and esp if we had good numbers of ducks.

    Discontinued Products you wish were still available

    3" lead copper plated #5's for duck loads. Baker climbing stands just so the younglings will wonder how we survived.

    Learning to bow hunt with compound vs. traditional archery

    I think we still agree or at least from my perception we do. Thats why I said the hunt you want is primary consideration. My year this year is a good example. Hunting with my longbow I have had 8-9 encounters with mature bucks between 12-35 yards that resulted in no shot. Almost all of those...

    Fall tillage?

    Because regenerative farming didnt start gaining any sort of foothold or even discussion until corporate farming had replaced family farming. It takes a good bit of time to make the conversion and really see what alternative practices can do and corporate farming is about today not tomorrow...

    Mechanical Broadheads

    The others covered the mechanical issue well but something that imo kinda goes along with that when considering which fixed head is to avoid heads with steep blade angles. Esp. at 40# draw weight. You will have better penetration generally speaking if you stay with a head with a more shallow...

    Learning to bow hunt with compound vs. traditional archery

    My mind set is the weapon is never the limitation. The limitation is my commitment to getting close and developing the skills to do so. If the hunt you desire is an up close and personal shot opportunity, a trad bow is not a limiting factor. If not filling a tag while you learn to consistently...

    Asio Gear

    Agree with the above, got the mid season sherpa pants and jacket last year and it has performed very well for me. The only knock I have is the cargo pockets on the pants. They have no volume at all. Fine for a pair of gloves or phone but thats about it.

    Hawk Saddle Platform vs. XOP EDGE – Which One for a Beginner?

    Neither. I would encourage you to look at the Trophyline platforms for a rock solid, reliable platform that are reasonably priced.
