    I use the bitzenburger fletching jig. I’ve had it forever and love it. I use gorilla crazy glue.

    Checked cameras yesterday and the hogs are still coming by frequently. Good news though is that I've got a few deer coming by in daytime pretty regularly. The hogs and deer have a pattern over the last 3 weeks that if stands, I should be able to take out a doe opening weekend.

    Good luck brother that is the best when you can establish some sort of pattern like that.

    Had an awesome day. Took my new Triax and put an HHA Ultra sight on it, walk back tuned to sixty yards and set up my sight.

    This is my 60 yard group which is awesome for this old man. Tomorrow I’ll broadhead tune it and I’ll be ready for October 1st.

    Well couldn’t hold myself back and checked cameras, had a lot of does and small bucks. Big ones still aren’t moving yet. Bumped prolly 6 deer overall and 20+ turkey. About 45 yrds from one of my sets is a bunch of territorial rubs so I moved a camera over that way.
