For what it's worth, I found this thread extremely helpful. This was my first year with a bow, and I know it made me really think hard about the shot before I took it. I took my buck on Nov. 2. After this thread, I decided I would only take a broadside with a muzzy fixed. I also decided I would not make my first bow buck a huge one. I know from trail cams and neighbors cams they are here. I took an HRB last year (PAV, not boasting, just that they are here, great buck on your part btw). As far as the antis, screw em. Mitch is the pres. At PU and was able to get I69 run right through their efforts. I'm in a profession where I have dealt with state lawmakers, good or bad, all that talks is money at the state level. The antis are annoying, but have no leverage in this state.
