I've shot four whitetails in the neck. Three with a rifle. One dropped instantly. One dropped then jumped up and ran 50 yards, then died. The last one dropped, then stood up stunned and I shot it again. The last one I flinched bad on a 40 yard shot with my crossbow. I was aiming at the chest...
From reading this thread, you actually see way more deer than I do. I only saw 4 this year in maybe five or six sits. I got super lucky on my buck this year. Do you ever use calls? Last two bucks I killed came in to a grunt call and I killed probably 4-5 does and a couple bucks that came in to...
Buy a crossbow. If you just want to kill stuff, that's the way. I had to finally switch to one last year. I'm hoping after my shoulder surgery I can go back to my bow. It's not as cool as bow hunting but it's a little easier. It's like close range rifle hunting.
I didn't read your last...
One thing to consider is that even a gut shot is way more humane than the way most of these animals die. I know it sucks, but it's better than starving to death or getting eaten alive.
I would buy a cheap used Savage bolt action in 300 WM. My $400 Savage is more accurate than my $1000 Weatherby. Use the money you save on ammo and glass.
So many people say PA sucks. I'm glad. I've killed a buck every year for the last five years. They ranged from 2 1/2 to 5 1/2 yr old bucks. I've also passed an several. I also usually kill a doe or two. My uncle and cousins have either killed bucks or passed on bucks and also kill a doe or...
I have an Android, but it shouldn't matter. Just click My Content, then Waypoints, then Select and you can choose what waypoints you want to remove from the map view. You can even hide all of them if you want.
Last year I saw about 4 legal bucks and maybe 8 doe all season. This year, I only saw one legal buck and three doe so far. I haven't hunted or scouted as much as usual and it's a weird year. I've never seen it so dry. I almost never sit all day. It makes me miserable, so I stopped doing it...
I'll be 51 in a few days. I've hunted in PA on public land most of my life and I'm in NE PA. We consistently kill deer. Since the antler restrictions and the increase in doe tags, we have been seeing much bigger bucks. I try to kill big bucks but usually end up with a something around 3 yrs...
He could have knocked Tyson out and gloated about it. He took it easy on him. So many people hate this guy. He's an ass but I think he's brilliant. He is a YouTube influencer that just got the opportunity to fight the legendary mike Tyson and make millions. He completely changed boxing. He...
Murder, rape, illegals, drugs, men in women's bathrooms, record retail theft, all ok. Insurance fraud, now that is where they draw the line. Why does anyone live there?
What if you use a muzzleloader or a shotgun with slugs? If you are elevated, not shooting directly at a house and the range of the gun is limited I would think that was safe. What is the drop on a 12ga 3in mag slug a 400 yards? Has to be a couple feet. No way that's going to ricochet and go...
That was not the Tyson I saw training on YouTube. As soon as the bell rang, I knew it was over. His legs and balance are completely shot. I believe this was a real fight to Tyson. I think he tried his best to knock out Jake. I have a lot of respect for Jake Paul. He could have beat Tyson...
I live in NE PA. There are thousands of acres of public land all within an hour of my house. Most of the areas I hunt are less than 15 min away. I can even hunt NY and NJ.
Mike Tyson is an animal. He has been training like a man possessed for months. He's super competitive and I don't think he cares about the money. He wants to win. If there are no stupid rules and Jake Paul actually fights him and doesn't just hang on him to tire him out, I think Tyson will...
