I have a two person deer stand currently set up, as well as my solo deer stand. I use a TenPoint Advantage crossbow, currently, but would like to eventually purchase one of them compressed-tines bow one day.
Been out twice, so far, and haven't had much luck. I see 2 bucks all the time, and several does each night around 6 o'clock. My first time out, it only took less than 10 minutes before I took a shot, but that wound up a bit low. I've redialed my scope since, but haven't had the opportunity to...
Just dropping in to see how my Peeps are doing. Sorry, been busy with work and with deer hunting (no success as of yet). Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying this fine October weather.
:welcome Greetings and salutations! Thank you for joining the family. We also enjoy the comedic aspects of raising our flocks, which include 3 dogs, 2 turtles, numerous fish, 47 chickens, 8 ducks and a partridge in a ba-na-na tree (showing my age, for those that know the reference to..hehe)...

:welcome Thank you for joining us. Hatching and raising chicks to become hens and/or roosters is a great learning experience. We have alot of knowledgeable members that are more than willing to help with your questions and concerns as they come along.
