Opening day in NH
« on: September 15, 2024, 08:05:48 PM »
Almost hung back this morning on account of the breeze being a little dicey for a particular stand I wanted to sit,  but glad I didn’t and it worked out ok. Only about 8 yards from the base of the tree. I was only in the stand about 40 minutes….. fast food! The VPA 3 blade did a fine job with tons of blood on the ground and a 45 yrd recovery.  Used one of my Toelke Whistlers.  Love those bows!

Nice job, congrats!  I don't know why it spits out pics sideways sometimes either, but it does.

I remember in the early 80s I think reading an article about the archery success rate NH being under 2%. Idk if it’s still that low.. I was there, in the woods, driving all over this spring and never saw single deer.  Seems a fantastic accomplishment.

I can remember as well,  that back around that time NH was simply not a good place to deer hunt.  Bear and Moose yes,  but deer, not so much.   Over the past couple decades however,  southern NH specifically,  has drastically improved and I believe the numbers are on the rise.   It's not southern NY,  but we see them often.  I even see some big ones  :bigsmyl:   in the 200 lb dress weight category .....  and some very nice racks as well!
Lots of smaller farms around my way  :thumbsup:

The essence of the hunt for me is to enter nature and observe+ return safely occasionally with the gift of a life taken.
