2022/2023 Fall/Winter Harvests

[Friend]

The HIGHLIGHTS' forum is wonderful for reading some great and inspiring hunting details. Also, there are special individual harvest threads on PowWow which I very much enjoy reading

Thought it would be advantageous to have a collective single thread of 2022/2023 fall/winter harvests for viewing. This thread is in no way intended to replace the HIGHLIGHTS Forum nor the individual detailed harvest threads on PowWow.

In addition to pics, there could a brief listing of the following:

-Bow and actual draw wt at archers draw length
-Arrow specs including BH
- Shot distance and approximate recovery distance
- Date and approximate time of day

Should soon be some harvests, hopefully posted, as many of our TradGang members are currently hunting or about to ...

Have made three hunts...1st hunt -three bucks traveling together..two 3 1/2 yr olds and a very promising 2 1/2 yr old 8pt...all within 12 yards...2nd hunt- one young buck at 15 yards and three does...3rd hunt - 6 does...

Can't bring myself to attempt to harvest a velvet buck and end my season in pursuing a hard horned buck. My early target bucks have been replaced with a couple of larger bucks...expect those to be replaced...

I know some critters are starting to hit the ground.    Some pics please.

Our season starts Oct. 1st...

We put some cameras out around the new house.
Got some pictures of a few nice Bucks!! All pictures have been at night though...
Got a picture of a HUGE 4 pointer, that would make most 8pts look small.
(too bad we have a 3 on 1 side rule)

I'll be out opening day!! I'm retired, and I can just walk out my door and hunt....

Ok, I'll start 😀

It came together for me on the 6th, called in this bull and shot him at 10 feet through the heart with a big Snuffer. He went about 40 yards and tipped over. I had Chuck Hawes of Chucks Custom Bows build me a wooden ILF riser, 20 inches, out of gray actionwood and purpleheart for a 64 inch bow using long limbs. I sent him an old Jack Howard riser to copy the grip and he did a great job. 3rivers DAS bamboo carbon limbs, 61lbs. 695 grain carbon arrow, went in right to the cresting. 5th trip to Alaska,  1st punched tag!
