I will be hunting whitetails, but may take a shot at a tree rat or bunny rabbit if the opportunity presents itself.

Same setup as last year:

My dad’s old Ben Pearson Raider, 48” and 39# at my short draw length. Just put a new string on it to raise brace height up to 9.5” where it belongs, and it is crazy quiet!

Arrows are GT Trad 600s with 125 gr. Magnus Stinger 4 blades riding up front. 561 gr. total weight.

This year I’m planning on hunting exclusively from the ground in natural ground blinds wearing a ghillie.

Only new item that will be going with me is a Palmer Bowmate quiver—love not having a quiver mounted on the bow!

Iowa whitetail and turkeys. I’ll be using my Holm-Made Shrike 49@28”-64” and see if I can’t stick something for Chad. Wapiti tapered cedar 55-60 shafts and woodsman broadheads are flying great out it. My Holm-Made River Runner with Goldtip 500s and woodsman 150gr is my backup bow this year.
Striker Fastback 58" 50#@28"
Bear T/D - A 56" 47#@28"
Holm-Made Shrike 64" 49#@28”
Holm-Made River Runner Static 58” 48#@28”
BW PL III 47#@28" 64"
BW PCH CARBON 45#@28" 58"

My first time hunting in the east, and first time with a bow in 30 years. No more PSE Mach Flite 4, this time it’s a self made fired hardened hickory self bow, 52# at 29”.  Gold tip traditional 400 arrows with 170g Grizzly single bevel broadheads. 

Excited to be hunting again, anxious about learning how to tree stand hunt at 61 years old though. Season opens Friday.

Best of luck to all

Well, scratch taking Dad’s old Ben Pearson as I had recently posted...went out to shoot it tonight and the limb is twisted. Looks like it will be a dust collector from now on.

My red stripe Kodiak T/D
A handle with 40# 50th Anniversary #1 limbs (Retired, Old, figured it was time to drop some weight)
Bear "Grayling" Bowquiver loaded with 45-50# Cedar arrows my son Tyler made.
Old Bear greenies on the business end.

Deer, maybe Bear? Never shot a Bear.... Never really wanted to LOL
I only shoot WOOD arrows... My kid makes them, fast as I can break them!

There is a fine line between Hunting, & Sitting there looking Stupid...

May The Great Spirit Guide Your Arrows..... Happy Hunting!!!

I've had to drop some weight because of shoulder problems so I need to change my earlier post. Now instead of chasing deer and rabbits with a 48# PLII I'm going with a 40# at 30" Frankenbow with longbow limbs, 2018's and 165gr. Hills Hornets complete the package.
