I miss opening week due to I was in Washington bear hunting. stuck a bear but no blood trail and didnt find it. did shoot a grouse. I went yesterday afternoon for the first time in TN and saw a spike. that's it for me so far.
Howatt - I have a similar (if not the same) climber - when I bowhunt, I always try to have the top and bottom stand pieces a little closer than when I gun hunt. I also lean out over the rail when I shoot, so no issues.
On my home front, I'm still trying to have the right deer get close. I drilled my first shot at a deer with my recurve a couple weeks ago, but buried in hte opposite shoulder - no blood and no deer. Still trying to get the next candidate for jerky in close enough.
Cool shot from my phone last weekend:
Little Spikey that was begging for it at 10 yards:
Can you say highway! Not sure if you can actually see the contrast though. There's practically a dirt bike trail running straight away in this picture.
Headed out again for a 5:30-2 hunt tomorrow. Pretty freaking excited.
