This is my great grandpas

Its made of real metal and wood so it's nearly impossible to bend the blade

@BrendanMalone2 what did you catch it on?

A crappie jig

Nice

@Winnie37a I’ve had $50 dollar knives last a couple years even with heavy use

i usually buy the 30 pos knives cause I lose em before I ever put enough wear on em xD

Cheap knifes dull faster than quality knifes

But yes some $50 knifes will last but they are few and far between

I usually sharpen my knives after 3 or 4 uses

I have a buck knife with a gut hook that I used to carry everywhere for about 8 years, then I started carrying my Walther Creed 9mm and the brass cap on the wood hilt started scratching my gun, so I just keep it in my hunting pack now

true. I usually get better knives on sale for 30 though. Im not paying full retail for anything if can help it <:KEK:726877368601411624>

OKC Rat, cost me 32, typically retails for 45-50

great knife too

What bow hunting tips do y’all have

@j_dog72 Don’t take a shot with the deer facing towards you at an angle otherwise you’ll hit bone

@Milkgamer55 thanks

@j_dog72 broadside shots only, there's no such thing as "too much scent killer", and while deer tend to jump at gunshots, they seem to duck at bows, but so long as you can hit a baseball at whatever yardage you're shooting, you should be good

Oh and, never shoot at a moving target. Always make them stop. A whistle works, a grunt is better

Ok thanks

Is this your first season hunting?

With a bow I usually used a 270

I have a 70 pound compound bow but bow hunting just seems too complicated.

It's complicated when you use a bow.

Now if you have a Remington Model 700

Its a lot easier

Unfortunately gun season ended

i have a question for hunters

can you hunt year round

depending on the tool you use to hunt with

No there is a time for hunting with guns, bows, and muzzle loaders, this time goes from I think October 15 to January 1

Depends on state but you can hunt coyotes,hogs, skunks/opposums/raccoons can be killed year round

cool

i think i’m gonna start hunting next year

Straight drakes

@[dangle] if you going to start hunting be prepared to spend a few thousand dollars to start off. I would go hunting with a friend first to make sure you like sitting in a stand for 10 hours a day

Plus you need to get hunters safety class and licenses

Plus depending on where you hunt. I hunt on a private club so it as a thousand dollar membership fee + 300 for utilities and 200 for a spot to put a camper or little camp and that you need to pay every year.

And depending on the size of your camper prices are higher. We have a 50 amp so utilities are more expensive than if you were to have a 30 amp.
