My bow went off!

Yep....Can't keep my new Tall Tines from going off. Seems every time I hit the woods it launches an arrow at some critter!

Wish I had that problem.  Pics would be good.
If it's in your way, move it.

The frequency of shot opportunities has been very nice for me, with the busy schedule of the life I've created. Work, marriage, 3 kids between 2 and 8, and a teenager, all limit the amount of time I can spend in the woods. In years past I'd talk about the 52 days I spent chasing deer, the 3 weeks for elk, or the multitude of species I pursued each fall.

Well life has certainly changed! Running the bear hunting business eats up plenty of my vacation time, as does family camping each summer and scheduled events that revolve around the family. This was the first year I did not have the entire month of November off to hunt deer. Having the month off each year would allow me to handle family responsibilities and still have plenty of hunting time.

With the limited time to hunt, plus the desire to self video my hunts, I knew that holding out for "that" buck was not an option. Well before the season started, I committed to taking the first respectable buck that presented an opportunity.

Seems like "2nd times a charm" is a theme for me over the past couple years. Last fall I killed my buck 2nd time out after passing on a decent deer the 1st time out.

This fall I killed my bear 2nd time out after passing on a decent one 1st time out.

This fall again my bow went off 2nd time out after passing on a nice buck 1st time out.

I'll post pix of those and get on with things.

Not trying to take any credit here other than that I've been blessed with opportunities. Seems as though God knows my schedule and keeps placing these perfect animals in front of me! Going for lunch with a buddy...will continue this later...

Holy smokes! I need to move to Canada.
Plant a fruit or nut tree today, and have good hunting tomorrow.

Which one went off, the new 58" or newest stickflinger one?  My TT has been going off quite frequently as Well.
