    I’m really leaning towards going to fixed blades, I️ have a tendency to hug the shoulder and for whatever reason I️ am really struggling to break that habit, I️ figure a fixed blade might be the best option

    I had an issue with sticking to close to the shoulder and lost the biggest buck I’ve ever shot a couple years ago. I was using mechanicals then. Shot fixed for a couple of years and this year switched to the grave digger hybrid. 1 inch fixed blade and 1 3/4 mechanical. They did a good job on the buck I shot this year. Something to consider if you like the mechanicals.

    Congrats Jman!

    And I love my grave digger hybrids, little bigger fixed blades and better deployment than the muzzy ones in my opinion.

    Fewest deer I've seen in a while today, don't know what's up. Work tomorrow anyways.

    I ended up taking the climber into this big valley. Wasn't feeling good about it, but ended up seeing a bunch of deer.
    Couple of bucks searching pretty hard, but big does still with fawns.
    Could have shot a fat, lone doe but thought for sure a buck would be with her.
    No dice, she reconnected with her fawn. Guessing they were separated by one of those bucks.
    The grind continues!

    I shot the muzzy phantom Sc and shot a buck. Heart shot and went 30 yards. The issue I had with fixed is I could not get them to fly true to my field points. Might just be my setup. I practiced with one of the fixed blades but they tore up my target pretty quick. The grave differs fly pretty true to my field points.

    I purposely did the same thing this year. Last 2 years I hunted my little place every time Work permitted, regardless of the wind. I was a good day if I seen a deer. This year, I only hunted it 4 times, and only when the wind was good. Had deer every time except 1, and the wind was swirling. I learned a lot this year. And it payed off
