I didn't think you were criticizing me... I was just explaining why I do it. I don't like the cold either... but I embrace it because the deer move much more. To each their own. Ed F

I'm not a gadget guy... don't fiddle with what works for me. I laugh at the broadhead and caliber debates. I've been shooting Muzzy broadheads for almost 30 years... hit them right and they die... Ed F
True statement, before we recorded I think I had asked you about what arrows you fling, I was expecting some long response on what and why you use a certain arrow, nope not what happened……. Lol
awesome bud
I sat in my favorite stand this morning... perfect wind. I wasn't very hopeful because the giant field of corn had not been cut and the grass was 3' high. Anyways at 8:15 I look to my right and see 3 does come out of the corn 20 yards from my stand. They were on high alert and smelling my scent on the grass where I walked in. There was no buck with them so I settled in to watch... I couldn't move or they would have made me. After a few minutes I hear a snort wheeze (just like on TV) right behind me... where I can't shoot. I look over my shoulder and see the Whitey buck... I'm going to shoot him if I get a chance... Ed F
My only chance was for the does to walk down the trail so that I could move... and that's what they did. I have a chance. It took a while but the buck started after them. When he went behind some limbs.... in one ninja motion I grabbed my bow, stood up, turned and drew. I couldn't believe I pulled that off. I dialed my sight in to 13 yards, haha just kidding. I hit him higher than I thought... not happy about that. He bolted and in the first 30 yards he did two nose dives. WTF just happened. I see him walk out to 70 yards before I lost sight of him. Then I heard what sounded like coughing... indicative of a lung shot... WTF now I'm really confused and to be honest, scared. Ed F
I really thought I hit him in no man's land. Believe it or not I waited a full 2 hours before getting out of the tree. 60 games of solitaire later (no service) I climb down and fully expected a tough tracking job. Great blood trail right to where he lay where I heard him coughing. The arrow wasn't as high as I thought. Because of the angle it came out his chest in front of the opposite shoulder... dead in 15 seconds. Muzzy devastation. Great morning... Ed F 
We have reservations at the local bar tonight... prime rib. Heading home in the morning. I have a house to build... and my baby girl misses me. The End. Ed F
I'm thinking about doing a layover in this small town in Kansas... Ed F
