Default The Hunting thread!

I thought Id start one for us to share out stories this season!


Bow season opens in two weeks here so Im yet to "hunt" but been getting a lot of time in the woods. Planting, hanging stands, etc... I seen a bunch of deer on our fields Friday when I got to the lease. Didn't disturb them just check cameras and such. I managed to get two turkey egg killing bastages out of the way. 427 more to go.








This year looks really promising from photos and encounters with deer and turkeys so far. This is a new lease Ive got with two buddies and we are all pretty pumped. One is my best friend and the other is a close friend of ours also. We are the only 3 on the 400 acres and theres about 2000 acres of rarely hunted national forest around us. Praying for a great year and hope all yall have one as well!


Runs Oct 25th to Feb 10 here, come on cold weather!

Good luck!! My new Bear is in the mail as we speak....Guess I can join the brotherhood now huh?!

My old PSE has the same sight as yours I kinda wish the new one did as well vs. this 5-pin.....It can be a little tricky on an approaching victim but man is it easy to line up w/o all the crap in the way....

The Legion.....I know I shoulda "flicked the release" on the Anarchy but it was twice as much and Im only upgrading from a mid-90's PSE...lol

My buddy was sponsored by Bear for several years and said you cant go wrong with any model so Im givin it a shot.

You wont regret it. I shot all the big names before I bought my Attack (the flag ship 5 years ago when I got it) and walked away with a Bear. Its the most dead in the hand bow Ive ever owned and deadly quiet.


My last 4 bows have been Bear. Their customer service is amazing as well. Just had the second set of limbs put on mine due to Bass pro shops' "tech" messing them up. Bear handled it no questioned asked.

Super quiet and easy draw were the two things that sold me on it.... I throw you some pics when it arrives
