What do you use to bag that buck??

Horton (legend) crossbow w/ simmons scope--175lb
Summit ultimate viper ss climber
Summit double barrel 2 man ladder stand (when my son goes)
Down River Game Calls (grunt-doe bleat combo)
Easton arrows and muzzy broadheads
Cannon still & video cameras

I use:
a bow with arrows and sharp heads
sometimes a muzzleloader or shotgun
Shoot out of a tree, or off the ground
wear camo and good boots

I do use Scott H's calls though. I can't wait for the new goose call he's working up.

You'll be the first to get one of my newest short reed goose calls Bob when their ready,should be ready sometime in october.

My new hunting buddy for 07

Off topic but here is a home brew scent eliminator if anyone wants to use it.

2 cups 3% hydrogen peroxide

2 cups distilled water

1 half cup baking soda

1 ounce unscented shampoo (available at drug or health food stores)

combine and pour into gallon jug, let sit for 3 days with a loose lid to let gases escape

In 2005 (first time I had deer hunted in 6 years) I had a remington 870 Wingmaster 12 gauge with a Hastings fully rifled slug barrel and a Simmons red dot scope, on my hip I had a Ruger Vaquero chambered in .45 Colt with just the plain old iron sights. Had to use that one on JDAWG's 8-pointer that got up and charged me.
I might order a permit this year, if I do that Vaquero is gonna put meat in the freezer!

Pearson Stealth
Arrow Dynamics nitro stingers
3 blade muzzy 100s
Trophy Ridge Drop zone
Copper John Deadnuts (which I'll probably unload this year)

Thats a nice looking set up flatlander!
Is that a soft lok quiver? I love them...


Thanks and yes it's a Alpine Soft Lok.

I have my fingers crossed http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a231/silbowhunter/hands.gifthat first blood will be during my Sept bear hunt in Mn.

I don't need nothing fancy. The gotta have the latest equipment crowd give me a good laugh, and the mfg'rs. some more dough. Kinda like the golf hacker who buys the latest driver thinking that'll surely put them in the game! It's the man and how he plays the game more than what he plays it with. Case in point - ever see old man Benoit's shotgun? It sure seems to bag many a fine deer.

My bow? An old Bear Whitetail Hunter II, shot with fingers and eyeballs. Shoots swell out to 30-35 yards. Maybe I'll treat it to a new string this year.

My usual shotgun for deer? H&R USH in 12 gauge. It's a dandy well past 100 yards! With a well placed shot - you only need one.

The one thing that no one has mentioned and is simply the absolutely most important part of MY game? PATIENCE! 3 doses works real well. Patience Patience Patience

Bowtech allegiance, toxonic sights, DMI rest, Scott release, Easton epic arrows, muzzy(MX-3) this year, API Rivers Edge other stands
Shotgun- H&R ultra slugger 12 gauge, bushnel scope and hornady slugs

Same things I use for elk and mulies out west:+

300 weatherby, 7mm weatherby, 300 7mm Rem mag, 300 win mag. pretty much use the 7 rem mag for everything, including my newest addiciton, whitetails in Nebraska.
