New Guy from NJ -

Bacon&Bone · 08-21-2010, 04:39 PM

Hey Ya'll,

Wanted to say hello. Been bow hunting for eight years now but got a very late start on it (will be 50 in a few weeks). Live up in north western NJ and just love bow hunting and archery.

I think this is a fantastic web site. Here is my set up:

Hoyt Maxxis 31, 60lbs, 27.5" draw length
HHA single pin fixed site
QAD Pro rest
Mathews Arrow Web quiver (Hoyt version)
Simms X coil stab
Easton Axis FMJ 400 cut to 27 1.4"
Currently shooting Magnus Stinger 4 blade but have shot Atom's and Rage 2 blade, would like to try GR Razortips this year.

This is an entirely new set up for me this year. Call it a mid life crisis but I went all out and upgrade from my eight year old Parker Hunter Mag.

I hunt exclusively with a bow for Whitetail's unless a yote is stupid enough to walk by. I also hunt from a tree stand although I may try a ground blind this year as my girls want to come with me.

Anyway great site and good shooting to all.

Brian

Welcome from another NJ'er. Glad you're aboard. Are you fortunate enough to hunt private land or are you on public land? Welcome again.

Welcome aboard from another NJ bowhunter.

Bacon&Bone · 08-22-2010, 08:48 PM

Thanks for the warm welcome Folks.

Yoda,

I hunt on public land. Wawayaynda, Hamburg WMA and small plots of scattered state land. Can't complain. I live in the middle of it all, never lost a stand etc. Have had many guys walk through the bedding area I was hunting next to but otherwise no complaints. Honestly I have had as many yotes ruin my hiunts as people. If I choose to I can walk out my door and hunt without ever having to get in my truck.

Oh wow, you're really up north huh (approximately 70 miles from me). In all the years I've hunted, I've only seen one yote, which happened to be my first hunt. They're not too prevalent down where I'm at. Being that these past few years I've had way too many hunts ruined by other hunters on public land, I'll take the yotes any day. Especially since I'd have no issue shooting one.

In fact, they would make for an awesome mount.

On more than one occasion I have had packs of yotes howling just out of sight until 10:00 in the morning. I would guess they were on a fresh kill or something. Nothing is moving in the woods when that is going on.

Last year I was just stepping into my climber in the dark when one let out a howl not 10 yards behind me. I think I set a tree speed climbing record.

We have a ton of yotes up here but then again we have a ton of bears too.
