My uncle and i have been going back and forth on this and just wanted a little more opinions?
I have to pieces of ground I’m able to hunt and one is a cut corn field and the other still has roughly 10 acres of standing beans on it.
My uncle is saying the deer prefer the cut corn field over the beans…..and I’m the other way around.

I was able to shoot my bow today for the first time in over 6 months. Draw weight is at 70lbs. My group sizes were about 3 inches with broadheads at 40 yards. Ive hunted with the exact same set up for the last 2 years with no issues, however I was practicing a lot more before the previous seasons. I did not struggle to draw the bow at all, but just did not feel as comfortable as i normally would. I shot about 20 arrows with only minimal fatigue. I am considering dropping the weight to about 65 lbs, but am worried about having to sight in the bow after changing the draw weight. The bow is a mathews halon 6 70 lb draw weight with 30" draw length, my sight is an axcel accutouch carbon pro single pin, so i would have to use a new sight tape.

Would you guys just stick with the initial draw weight since it is shooting well or drop the weight?

If you know me well you know i do alot of hare scramble races and enduros. Well my right knee has been bothering me for the past 10 years and recently had a good get off at a hare scramble in Kentucky re injuring my knee.

Well long story short after a few Dr visits and an MRI both Meniscus are shot and a bad ACL tear, surgery required. Surgery may take place sometime in July but I had the idea to limp through deer season and get it done first of the year. Either way I’m hanging stands early and buying a few ground blinds just incase I can’t get up the ladder.

I have had a couple surgeries in the past but nothing with this long of recovery time. Anybody else have a simular surgery done? What can I expect?

As Colorado results trickle in thought i would post some of last years success. Don’t often get time to hunt but managed a few days afield this year.

While nothing like 2016-2017 when I harvested three 10 point bucks, one making P&Y, this season was not a disappointment. I managed to get a nice nine pointer in my home county, three "management" bucks and a doe. Lot’s of great meat and wonderful memories. God bless this country for the opportunity to hunt these beautiful animals and God bless them as well. Life is good.

In Minnesota you have to have food removed 10 days before the start of the season. Is it even worth using a feeder if you have to do this?

Southern Ohio. Opening week of deer season. If you can’t get to hunt the couple weeks around the rut. What’s your advice on early season. Would opening week be a good time. Thanks for any input.

Looking for some late season hunts. I’m tagged out in Indiana so I’m looking for over the counter hog deer ect. Would like to keep it within a 15 hour drive or so of Warsaw Indiana.
