Hey buddy, when we going after him /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

There have been a couple of hog-buck at my father-in-law's camp in Potter. Never really seriously hunted just for them but that may change now that I'll be living closer. Looking forward to figuring them out and exploring the new areas around Warren.
I've got to get you into bowhunting, especially with a stickbow. I've got a light recurve and arrows (in a box somewhere)and Austin has a compound and recurve so lets get the kids together and fling a few.

Just messin with you on the Potter buck.

I got the same way with the gadgets though I always kept my compounds simple (KISS method). Once I made the commitment to shooting instinctive with the recurve I won't be going back.

I agree that unravelling the ways of an older buck and fooling him enough to get within 30-40yds is the ultimate. I've been fortunate enough to do that 2-3 times each of the last few years. Haven't been able to close the deal but can still picture the scenarios crystal clear in my mind. That's what keeps me going between seasons.
