With all this archery advice being given I suppose I will let you true archers in on one of my closest tips...  Tape a flashlight to your bow it helps when the sun just goes down in those low light situations.

I heard of that years ago when I was hunting West Virginia.  The locals called that "Shadow Shooting".  They swear by it.
He asked, Do you ever give a short simple answer?  I replied, "Nope."

cmon guys- flashlights are too heavy, besides- four wheelers have headlights for a reason.
This closet is taken- go find your own

Dang this is the best! Now I know where I have been going wrong all these years. I can see what I need to do

First I need a good beat up 4x4 truck with a huge light bar and winches on either end and a sliding rear window to be able to pass "Man" beers back and forth to my other fellow "Back-country" hunters while they rest their weary bones from riding their quads in from the gate.

Next I need to choose a weapon and that old 30-30 sounds mighty fine, but that new Wal-mart Bow is real purty! I would like to try the rip-rap two it would be nice to have some cent blocker especially when uncle Eddie has been eat'n chilly

Last but not least I need to hit the local Tavern and other websites to gather the info for the best  guarenteed spots cause I want to fill the freezer this year

For some reason my expandle broadheads do not shoot well when I taped a mag light to my bow. maybe the flash light is torquing the bow?

Any feedback?

I got real creative, and welded my 200 lumen surefire to a bolt that just so happens to thread right into the same spot as I used to have that pesky stabilizer, problem solved.  I even took it one step further, and ran the pressure switch to the grip so I can activate the light without interrupting my shot.  Which tag is Oak Creek anyways I hear thats a great spot.
