    Cage Fighting

    Dang! Nice footage. I’ve seen lots of little guys play fighting but have yet to see a full of rut battle. That’s be pretty cool to witness.

    Yea it’s a 2x2...

    Eye guards count, that’s a 3x3. I know for sure because my buddy shot a big velvet forky with eyeguards last year and aaaaalll the eastern guys on the interweb corrected me that it was not a forky, it was definitely a six point or 3x3. either way, great buck! Congrats to you guys.

    This place is a g rated Disney production compared to the crap we’ve heard (and said) in the machine shops. I don’t think anything here would make you blush. Some of you fellas do seem a little tightly wound. Maybe log off once in a while, and spend more time drinking beers and hammering your ole ladies. Speaking of which, my third beer is just about gone, which means I gotta go!

    Headlamps and stealth

    The area we archery hunt in the summer has a good number of bears and more than a couple cats floating around, so I use my head lamp all the way in and all the way out, scanning both sides of the trail and checking behind me frequently. As mentioned by others I’ve walked right by deer in the dark within twenty yards without having them spook. I’m not going to say I’ve never bumped one out, but I don’t think it has ever significantly impacted the day, especially if you go in an hour or so before dawn so the area has time to calm down again before shooting light. I also try to move fairly quickly. I think deer are less alarmed by something they can hear coming and monitor then they are by something trying to sneak up on them in the dark. besides, bumping a deer out is much less detrimental to your hunting experience than a broken leg or a bear mauling.

    Coues to Midwest Whitetail Conversion

    Yotebuster nailed my line of thought. Look at the minimum entrance scores from p&y and b&c and you should be able to draw a pretty easy ratio to use for the score. coues deer are fun and can be challenging, but having recently got my butt kicked on eastern whitetail I think us western guys often don’t give them their due. Eastern whitetails on private land can be a slam dunk (sometimes). Eastern whitetail on public land can be every bit as tough as hunting out here, at least with archery gear. Five days of hunting Oklahoma public land, I never got to pick up my bow. 3 days on private ground in Nebraska and I had close range opportunities every day.

    Missing hunters in Mexico

    Terrible news. Sounds like Mexico is almost as dangerous as Chicago or DC.

    Black Friday Deals

    https://www.pnumaoutdoors.com/system/all-weather 30% of pnuma gear. I’ve got the Selkirk all weather jacket and bibs. They are warm, wind proof and have kept me dry in persistent snow and light rain. Haven’t got to try them in heavy rain yet. Rogerssportinggoods.com also had a really good deal going on Sitka gear last week. I picked up a coldfront jacket and bibs for about 40% off. Not sure what they have left now, they were getting low on sizes last week.
