Early Muzzleloader: Opening day of gun season. I actually shot another doe that morning, but it was left with the land owner: Early bow season:

Yup, do it all the time.

obvious not where you or I'd like it to be, mmmmmmTiffany

Here's something that will get you in the hunting state of mind. This is a link to Lee and Tiffany's crush cam, it's a live feed of on of their cams set up at a feeder: http://www.thecrush.tv/deer-cam

If you was to pick a time not to shower I would make it the morning instead of the evening. I say this because if you go in in the morning the temps will rise as the sun does which will actually lift your scent. As where in the evening the sun is setting and the air is getting cooler and heavier, which in turn will push your scent to the ground. This is the same reason I try to never hunt in a bowl type of area or a bottom in the evening. Now as far as Scent lock and all that kinda stuff, I've purchased lots of but haven't in five or more years as I believe is pretty much a gimmick. Now I do wash all my camo and base layers in Dead Down Wind laundry detergent and hang outside days before I use it. All my hunting stuff is stored in scent free totes, and that includes anything that goes in the woods with me. I take a shower in the am and in the afternoon during early bow season, along with changing to and from my camo at my truck before I go in the woods. I also pretty much take a bath in Dead Down Wind spray before I leave the truck, along with soaking all of my gear. I'm also a firm believer in not using cover scents also, I feel that no scent is better then a strange scent (to the deer that is), except for around the rut when using doe in estrus urine...

IMHO Oakleys are way over priced, and no where as nice as they are made out to be. Costas are great glasses and blow Oakleys away, but I think I like my Maui Jims better then any Costas that I've ever owned.

Palomar, on almost everything

As long as the spline and weight of the arrow are the same as your Axis' you'll be fine. If you have any doubts just use the blunt rubber tip on just one of your Axis', I know of a handfull of guys that carry an extra arrow with a blunt tip just for that reason. As far as different arrows go, I buy a dozen every year or two (depending how many I lose or ruin) and these aren't always the same arrow. With that said all of the arrows that I have left over from the years prior go into a practice pile, which I just practice with and honestly they all group very well. I have some Carbon Express blue streaks (which I hunt with), some gold tips, bemans and some redheads which I practice with, and I would feel comfy hunting with anyone of these arrows with my setup as it is.

100% white perch

Ahh ok, please post up some results once you guys get them. I'm anxious to see how they perform on a actual hunting setup, shooting around 60 or so pounds instead of the 80# in the barrel shot. I'd also like to know how they fly compared to a field point, this is one of the main reason I shoot the T3s. They flatout fly awesome and put the deer in the dirt, and they're way more consistent then a rage (as far as the blades all deploying)...

I was just checking those toxics out, and if your hunting jugs or drums ( with an 80# bow ) you'd be fine. I find it a little funny that I couldn't find one video of someone taking a deer with them. I don't see them doing all that great with a deers shoulder blade, but I could be wrong. I think that I'll stick with the G5-T3s

This is why I use G5-T3s:

Dove and Pheasant hunting are the two things that are on my short list to do, I've wanted to do both for a long time but haven't...

As stated earlier Nikon makes some decent stuff, I have a Nikon on my Encore 209/50 barrel and it's treated me real nice. Now with that being said Leupold is my scope of choice, I have 5 of them and love everyone of them. If you can swing the Leupold do it, they have a lifetime warranty and they stand behind it 100%.

Yea and I'm still married to it!!!

Pretty cool indeed

I use a St Croix Mojo Bass 7' MH/F spinner bait rod and a Daiwa Lexa 100, I also use this same rod for frogs and it seem to do great.

From my experience they're very popular. I know of at least 15 people that own 40s, they're pretty much handle like a 9mm but have more a** behind them. I believe all of our local and state police carry them also. Prayers go out to the family.

X2 on Cosco, I've more then a few there and they all seem to last pretty good. Plus they're cheap

I know a couple of guys that do a DYI elk hunt every year in Co. They go for 2 weeks every year, and only take long bows to hunt with. They've only killed a couple, a cow and a spike, but they come back every year with an awesome story. They go all public land, and it takes them 2 days to hike into where they go and three days to get out if they get lucky enough to harvest an animal. It's definitely on my bucket list for sure.

This is what I use, does a great job and only takes a couple seconds: http://www.basspro.com/Berkley-Pocket-Hook-Sharpener/product/52855/

I use these, they have a double cutting edge and they cut braid awesome. They also have a replaceable cutting edges, and come with a holster and a lanyard: http://www.basspro.com/Browning-7-Aluminum-Pliers/product/1212041152/

I'm going to put a dedicated drop shot rod together, and I was wondering what your using and why. I'd much rather fish with a baitcaster, but will it be a pain in the a** because of the light weight. I'm currently using a Daiwa Procaster spinning combo that I got from BPS for my drop shot rod, its a med action 7' rod. I would like something a little more sensitive though, I'm looking at the Avid 6'8" ML/XF casting rod
