    Whitetail reflexes (traditional archery)

    In that case, I'd say you likely just have to write it off as the reality of whitetails and their reactions. They won't do it everytime, but they will sometimes. I'd say aim a bit on the low side, but don't shoot under the deer and just accept that they'll beat you sometimes. I shot my first...

    Whitetail reflexes (traditional archery)

    Just curious: How quiet is your bow (and your arrows)? I do think aiming a little low is reasonable, given how fast their reflexes are, but your specifics make me wonder if you could quiet your setup down a bit.

    Wool hunting clothing

    I bought a King of the Mountain wool jacket in 1999, I've worn it a lot for stand/blind hunting and ice fishing and it looks almost new. Absolutely bomb-proof. I kick myself weekly for not buying one of their snow camo wool shirts back then. It would have been the perfect outer layer for...

    Been looking at new rifles with iron sights

    I keep a Rem 7600 carbine with a peep. I'd highly recommend, but they're tough to get these days, for any kind of reasonable price.

    Small towns supporting high school sports

    That's great! I'm not a big sports fan, in general, but I get really into my boys' high school teams... Incidentally, I did a stint teaching environmental ed in northern MN. Alexandria school district used to come up and stay with us for a few days every year. Good luck with the deer.

    Random Tunes Friday...Country/pop/soul/blues

    Some day, I want to own a tele with the classic bridge pickup, a strat pickup in the middle and a humbucker by the neck, like this one. Seems like the perfect rig. I approve, though mine might be a semi hollow too…

    As someone who occasionally performs, I have to tip my hat to this dude. Just a flawless, make-it-look-easy performance vocally and on the guitar. 🍻
