It's our last day of rifle season. Going to try near the house today. I live in a somewhat suburban area with a few acres to hunt. I was out 2 days ago and saw 7 deer, one was a fork horn (must have 3 per side) I have a doe tag too. I'm not sure if I can post from the stand but will take photos. It's snowing now. It should be a quiet sneak to the stand. Deer are bedded within 100 yards of the stand.
It's a good 150 yards from the living room to the tree stand. It looks like Molly the tracking dog wants something to track.
Here goes!

Made it to the stand without slipping diown the hill in the snow . It is quieter than usuall. The road isnt busy and the snow muffles. Passed one set of deer tracks between me and. The house
Falling snow is making it hard to type. I saw 15 deer here ladt sarurday. Nothing big. Hoping to see any deer at all to get photo
I dont buy much from cabelas but this winter wind proof berber fleece is warm stuff. I'm not sue why but i just put the coat on over a t shirt. No layers. But seems warm enough.
Go get em. Good luck.
Post up some hero pics

Yep, I really like that stuff....have the jacket, and vest. Great for the northwoods but now, here in South Carolina thinking I prolly won't need it.
2 doe or fawns at 70 yards in the brush feeding. Took pics

Good luck!! Hope you're dragging one out about now.
Looks pretty,hope you get one.
We had a nice snow fall here in the Texas hill country,it was nice.
The first deer i saw is in the upper left 1/4 of the photo. I realize it is hard to see. Distance 70 yards. There were 2 deer. They were not ready to come out. A neighbor walked dogs nearby and these two deer layed low.

Me questioning why I would go out in this weather. (https://i.imgur.com/dJmsvvnh.jpg)
The dot in the upper right 1/4 of the photo is a legal buck crossing our pasture at 200 yards. The last deer I saw today.

Pre hunt photo of my Kanati Longbow. Best bow I have used by far.

This is great !!! And, that bow is beautiful !!!
Great pics. Looks mighty cold for this southern boy.
A slightly better photo of the deer that approached from down wind. Just before they winded me. Last time I was her I had a little buck at 10 yards and could have taken better photos.

Great pics tedd thxs for the pics hope you are skinning one out! What part of PA you located?
Nice bow, lovely model. She has a kind smile. Looks like you got a good one!
Thanks for taking us along on your hunt.
Totally agree about the Kanati.
Nice photo essay
I wish the photos of the deer turned out better. Anyhow, here are some more photos on the Kanati if you are interested in seeing them. I think I figured out how to order a nice looking bow...where the order form says "wood choice" I put bowyers preference! Actually for this one I think I did ask for the Gray Diamond wood but said to use his preference for the limb material. (I have a Javaman and for both the riser and limbs I said Boywer's preference, and man does that thing look nice)
I'm really happy with the Kanati and could not give it a better review. I killed 3 deer with it since it arrived in September. Not only is it sharp to look at, I think it is a better hunting bow than any I have ever used.
After carrying it a season I ordered a second one.
Here is an un-stung and strung profile

Another item that works really good and looks good are the Black Eagle Vintage arrow shafts. I dipped and crested these with Fletchlaq. These shafts have a good GPI that allows lots of options for point weights. Mine are .350 spine, with 50 gr brass insert and 250 gr head.
The woodgrain color is light and shows up in low light for those of use that need to see the arrow to point it at a deer. I am a fan of tapered arrows and go back and forth between these BE and Arrow Dynamics. And wood too. The Kanati seems to like them all.
