What brand of bow everybody shooting? I had an older Mathews Drenalin....bows these days have really changed with looks and cams. Kicking tires on a new one but then I saw the price tag on some of these bare bows. 
 
 I would check around on the internet for a used one. We probably have 10 or so laying around.  
  The ones we pick up are usually like new, come loaded with extras, plus trigger release, arrows, extra blades, practice tips a case and are top name brands. Lots of people switch to a cross bow anymore. 
 
 In reality any bow should work just fine. When I first started out killed deer with a recurve then Indian Stalker then Whitetail Hunter and so up the line. It's practice and confidence more than anything.
 
 A very nice like new used bow loaded can be had for a fraction of the cost as it was new.
 
 Good Luck
 
 
 

 They are like golf clubs. New models come out every year and some people have to have the newest. They think it will make them better at the sport. Then they sell last years model or set at a loss. 
 
  When I was a kid selling bows at a sporting goods store a mechanical trigger release wasn't even lawful for hunting or fiberoptic sights in Pa. 
 
 Back to one of your questions, google the pros and cons on the difference between a single and double cam. That can help you decide what you are looking for.
 
 Was looking for some Muskie lures a couple weeks ago at my sons place up north and came across over 60 new trail cams and some large totes of archery hunting razor tips Rage ect. all new in the packages looked very nice selection. Told him to sell the trail cams for Christmas. He said he is not allowed to sell the hunting tips doing his tackle shows. All those totes will be taking up room for the next 20 years.
 
 Nice deer guys.
 

Congrats fellas on the nice bucks. Blew it again last night...moved my stand farther down the hill off the bench I was hunting, which worked better with last night's wind. 20 min after setting up, 5 point walked under me. About an hour later heard something to my right and low working by. Mouth grunted and then hit grunt tube and it started working my way. So thick but finally get a glance with binocs and know it's a shooter. Unfortunately, coming up hill at me and u need to switch sides. With his pace, I probably did that move faster than I should have. He caught movement...luckily my tree was between he and I so he didn't blow out of there but did start down the hill and angling away. No shot opportunity. Looked similar in frame to Saturdays deer but was a different one. So far today, seen a 2, 4, 6 and non shooter 8 point and the same 2 fawns 2 different times. Once they leave my proximity, I think I'll be getting down...

Was fortunate to be able to take another doe off one of a properties I am hunting hunting for a local borough to remove deer. Saw three bucks and three does with some chasing finally. 
 

Congrats again.  Any signs of chasing Gene?

I ain't Gene but . . .
 
Finally had the opportunity to hunt by myself a couple evenings this week now that my son has quenched his bloodlust and says he'll wait till gun season to fill a few more doe tags.  
 
Saw two yearling bucks Thursday on their own.  Those were the only ones I saw.
 
Several does yesterday but no bucks with 'em.  Two yearlings close to me after some does came through, but the bucks came from a totally different direction.  They did head in the direction the does went so probably interested.  Saw a good buck at 150 that was just strolling across a cut corn field all by himself with no other deer around him.

Thanks. Not much. Saw some smaller bucks nudging does on Thursday. Saw 8 does this morning and not a buck in sight. Haven't seen a frenzied chase yet this fall. 

Really slowed down where I am hunting. Been out on doe patrol and have drawn two blanks on my last two outings. 

Full blown pre rut in action right now up here in the north. Bucks chasing doe everywhere.

Action picked back up this morning. Still not seeing any chasing but I did have 4 bucks cruise past including a stud 8 point at 30 yards. No does seen.
