Post by: h20hunter on December 08, 2011, 12:45:34 PM: I'm ready....just got to get some fresh batteries and get my surefire strapped onto my stabilizer and I'm ready. Even picked up some fresh lum'noks in case I need to make long shots. Gets dark in them woods you know.

Post by: halflife65 on December 08, 2011, 01:38:34 PM: For those long shots it's better to use about a 300gr arrow and a 90# bow, so make sure to lighten your arrow and increase your bow poundage!

Post by: Yicks on December 14, 2011, 09:42:22 AM: I need to find a pic of a skunk, my 3rd year archery, passed does the 1st 2 years. A 5 point took off at 25 yards drawing my bow on Saturday, had 6 full days out there this year seeing a total of 47 deer with none being within my 40-45 yard range cept for the buck that heard me draw.
Do I drive to Spokane for a weekend?... or post a skunk!
