Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love the Black Widow I've been shooting for the past couple of years. I shoot it great and I feel it was worth every cent that it cost. The one catch, I can't shoot it out of all of my ground blinds. It's a 62" bow and I shoot with a near vertical bow. In a...

Somewhat random question: is anyone else seeing crazy amounts of flies outside? Is it possibly related to the EHD outbreak (large number of carcasses leading to large amounts of flies)? I am in Athens County. We have two disposable bag fly traps on our back deck and in about 4 days they are...

Yea, EHD sucks. I can't just give up on the season, though. Who knows what will still be left to hunt by the time late September rolls around, but I vow to be ready either way. Hopefully I do a better job of documenting this season. It's exciting being the first year with enough acreage of our...

I firmly believe your broadheads should be sharp enough they scare you. Something I wanted to try with the new VPA 3-blade heads I recently bought was sharpening them using a belt sander. I bought a pack of belts for my little Delta in 600/800/1000 grit. Someone will probably tell me it's...

So there we were, eating dinner in the house on Saturday, when I glanced out the window and spotted a coyote at the top of our (long) driveway. Where it crossed into the trees we have been seeing about 90 rabbits a day, so not surprising that we see one there. I kept an eye out for a few more...

A lot has been happening in my family's little world. Starting almost two years ago, we began house hunting a bit. We saw a few places we liked, some we didn't, got outbid on one...then something interesting happened. I have been hunting the property of a family friend (and my wife's former...

My son and I have watched a ton of videos online of baseball glove restorations. I had seen enough to convince myself it was do-able for me. I was looking for a winter project of some sort, and started watching ebay for deals. I finally found what I was looking for, a used and abused Wilson...

I posted this pic in my member journal thread, but figured I might get a quicker response here. I have never in my life seen acorns like this. The cap is really light, but the nut itself is almost black. Background on the location, this was on some city property in Athens near a residential...

I'm intrigued. https://www.psseasoning.com/blogs/recipes/venison-bacon?srsltid=AfmBOopkSoZAwyEzPO98LCda0t23XSBLJaLXDRInxcuVje1Gg_nNG-Jo

I'm slow getting to this. Truth be told, I'm slow at a lot of things. 🤦‍♂️ Something that I felt like I was slow (or unwilling) to adapt to the past few seasons has been hunting an area/location the way it needs to be hunted instead of how I want to hunt it. I love being in a tree for deer...

I've been interested in the 2D Deadnuts style targets but couldn't make myself spend the cheddar on one. Then it hit me, I have several of the "Nice Target" deer targets that are printed on heavy duty plastic. I staple them to the wood frame in front of my range bag quite a bit. So why not...

I like hunting from the ground but chair/stool options have been a little frustrating. The first stool I used was a little tripod stool with a back, and I'll just say it...it was rough on the man parts. I couldn't sit in it for very long because it was not comfortable downstairs. The last few...

The tab I have been shooting is a cordovan Black Widow. It's been used for about 3 years. The cordovan still looks fine but the rest of the leather on the tab is starting to crack badly and stitching come out. It wasn't going to last forever, so I was shopping for a new tab. I swear I only paid...

I was working on convincing myself to buy some 3-blade heads, either VPA or Cutthroat...but then I went out and shot some of the Crimson Talon Cleaver's out of the Widow last night. They flew like dang lasers, I know I can get them scary sharp, and I have plenty of them. So maybe I'll just stay put.

Any of ya'll laid eyes on the bear that's been spotted in the Athens area for the last week or so? I assume some of the sightings are the same bear, but from the reports I have heard, maybe there's more than one roaming around. The first sighting I heard about was photos on the WSEO Facebook...

Another learning experience. My son has been really into baseball lately and I had an ash blank from my dad that was easily 30+ years old. I didn't have a bat my size to be able to hit balls to him for defensive practice, so I figured what the heck. This was by a long shot the biggest stick...

So a few months back, my new recurve I ordered from Black Widow arrived. It's a PSA in their "Greenleaf" color combination. Those colors just sort of "spoke to me" and it looked like a bow that belonged in the deer woods. Then I get this bright (or so I thought at the time) idea to make a new...

Welcome home, darling. I've always wanted to own a Black Widow. Their catalogs have been laying around the house for years. Late last summer, I decided to make the purchase and scratch the itch. I was told it would be about a 7-8 month wait when they called about my order to confirm...

I left a non-cellular camera (on private) over a historical scrape in a logging road for the entire season. The camera was up from mid-Sept through yesterday. I doctored the scrape/licking branch once when I put the camera up and once in Nov when I hunted, using Black Widow Branch Butter and...

I'd been seeing a lot of these on the socials and couldn't resist making a few of my own. There are a lot of different styles and shapes, but the common thing is obviously the horseshoe nail which is like a striker against a call surface. The easiest to obtain and best call surface I have found...
