If the wind isnt right then my advice is to stay out of there. Be patient and hunt somewhere where the wind does work. You will not beat a mature deers nose.
Whether or not your a believer in the October lull, I believe I'm experiencing it. Things have been quiet for me in the woods both from the stand and on cameras. History has shown me that it's just the calm before the storm. I'm expecting next week, things will start to get exciting!

Slow and quiet day so far. I have only heard about a dozen shots all day. 1 doe for the freezer for my hunting party so far. Cameras have shown better activity in the pm so now we sit and wait.

Good morning LOU all the way from the North Carolina gun opener! Sitting overlooking an amazing 8 acre clover plot with acorn dropping oak trees inside of it and along the perimeter also and a timed corn feeder on both ends.

My bow was setup by Phil Race of Indian Mountain Archery. He was a huge fan of helical 4 vain fletching. It was designed to get the arrow spinning which helps accuracy and consistent arrow flight. Same theory as a rifled gun barrel.

Food, cover, water. If you have all three then you have deer year round. Food plots are great. I would concentrate on creating prime bedding and then allow it to be an untouched sanctuary

Thanks for all of info guys. I took a ride to the new Field and Stream store in Henrietta today and purchased some Nocturnal lighted nocks. I put them on a brand new set of carbon express piledrivers. After a slight pin adjustment, which I believe was related to heavier fetching on the new arrows, they seem to shoot virtually the same as my standard nocks.10, 20, 30, 40 yards.

the topic of discussion today is "lighted nocks"...
Its looking like Im about to add Nockturnal Lighted Nocks to my quiver. I think anything that helps you know shot placement and also helps you find your arrow after the shot is a big plus.
you guys hunting with them?
yes or no? are they worth the money?
suggested brands?
problems?
other advantages?
The last few seasons i have shot Slick Trick 1" standards. I am currently shooting 100 grain slick trick 1 1/8" magnums. I made the switch to maintain the same arrow flight but a bit bigger cutting diameter. http://www.slicktrick.net/
Im looking for " the grass is greener" broadhead recommendations?
