12yo Son's first deer. Put many hours on stand throughout the week and patiently waited for a good shot. When the opportunity arose, he put it right where it needed to be. Proud Dad and son.
I use uninsulated Danner leather boots. Put the Arctic Shield boot covers on immediately when I sit down in my stand. Throw a small hand warmer pack in each. Really works well for me. Located in Nebraska.
First Lite for me. I wear Wick bottoms, Prana Zions, and Solitude bibs for temps 50ish and under. Full length bib leg zips are a key for the walk in. Top is Wick top, Klamath 1/4 zip, Source jacket if it's colder out, topped off with the Solitude jacket.
This setup has worked really well...

Spot Hogg Fast Eddie (double vertical pin). Full disclosure, this is the only single pin / slider sight I've used, but I love it. I've used Spot Hogg sights for 15 years, and they are truly built to tight tolerances and high quality materials.

Central Nebraska - We've shot an 8.5y/o buck, verified by cementum annuli aging. Had history with him for 5 years. He finally slipped up in his old age. His rack 'peaked' score-wise at 5.5 (probably 150ish) and shrunk quite a bit over his next few years. Gross ~134. He was still the 'one'...
Are you guys hunting with a hinge? I've always been a index release shooter. I decided that I was going to combat my TP head on. Therefore, I've been shooting a hinge since my whitetail season ended and have really become better, still have LOTS of work to get to where I want to be. I'm not...
Hello!
Long time member first time poster - I was an avid bowhunter for many years and veered off the road to other addictions (fly fishing and kid sports!) but have recently jumped right back in where I left off. Mainly whitetail and turkey hunt in Nebraska. Hope to get back into Western...
