I bought one of these sniper outlaw tripod stands at Menards last year when they were clearing them out. Hunted out of it once and the seat is awful. I’m wondering if anyone here has one or if they have done any modifications to it. I’m wondering about just taking the whole seat out and using a camping chair. They seat is in the center so you have enough room to turn completely around but it puts you to close to the edge. Being able to sit back further in a more comfortable chair would be good I think.

With all the rain early and tons of heat the beans (and corn) are doing amazingly well here in Iowa this year. What that means to us bowhunters is that the protein and carbs will be there in spades and the deer can travel when ever they want and still be almost completely covered up.
Not hard to see what mini "kill" plots aren’t much use here in Iowa when your whole state is food plot. Here are a couple of pics to show what I mean. Now neither deer is has a huge body but still, see how well covered even a 3 year old buck is, and this is just the beans!

No matter how much I look at this picture, I can’t find the deer. I’m normally pretty good at stuff like this.

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?

I was looking for an Olympic recurve, when my grandmother told me that grandpa had an unused Golden EAgle Compound Bow. It has 18(6 wasp broadheads) arrows, a wrist guard, soft case, and more. It should have an appropriate draw length, as me and grandpa were almost twins. More importantly, its free. So, Im not too worried about it working for me, but I am more concerned if there would be a major difference in learning to shoot with a compound bow vs a recurve, and would it affect my shooting if I changed bows. I am a novice archer, and don’t plan on doing any hunting, but if dreams come true, maybe I could make it to the Olympics?

Long story short I was riding home one day and saw this horn laying in the median strip went back and picked it up thought someone lost there rattling horns went back later that day just looking to see if I saw the other side and bam kicked it looking for it…. the state came by about a week later and was getting the deer out of the ditch… notice the tire marks on the left side

I know the score already, and the story behind this buck. I’ll edit my post and add the score next couple of days.
I just want to see how good people are estimating before I post the real numbers.
Ps this is a free range buck
