@@elizabethtorchio1280 hahaha! I almost died twice. Yikes! 😱

@@elizabethtorchio1280 I might have to go back again and explore some more 👍

@@michaelgrieco7207 Thanks!! We actually took a dip in the water - so clean and refreshing.

@@The_fish_rizzler Thanks, Dude! 👍

@@JunkyardGardener Thanks a lot!! I didn’t want to rely on the Fishbrain App too much, it suggested Freshwater Drum. I’ll definitely check out those spots and when I catch my Red Drum I’ll give you a shoutout 👍 Thanks again

Thanks! It's my favorite one.

@@charlesbrewer7669 It was definitely a fortunate circumstance. I thought they were all that easy. Lol

Not at all! ​@@thejerseytexan

@@DK_1983 I think his expertise level can be seen on his YT channel (Description Box). He has tagged several Deer over the years.

Go to a new shop..... Or request a different dude..... Hes not even intermediate level... Let alone the capability to properly instruct... WTF srsly... Not tryna bash... Actually I dont care about him or the shop or his little feelings. I DO care about YOU as a new archer... And hes teaching you wrong, and not teaching the essentials like your release, the technique, then again the release, but how to fit it to your size/hands/drawlength. Its completely wrong fixed to your wrist, and that causes you to stretch your index finger and use the very tip to activate the trigger.... WRONG with capital S! And them he says "the way the bow shoots" (straight or not), thats not on "you" per se... (it is and it isnt). But first its on the rest, nockpoints for a compound.. Had you shot a non-release triggered bow it can in rare occasions also be a (hand) release-error, but combined with a jerk of the body. Usually comes out of fatique issues. But thats another road.. For you if the arrows sticks nock high or nock low, its bc of rest or nock issues. Sideways sticks, nock left or nock right, are bc of spine issues (both, in general terms, but its where you start). My point is he should tune the bow/arrow before that. Otherwise those are pointless readings... And second point he shouldnt even be worried about you "hitting the target well this time" ... WTF.... He should teach AND focus on your form only.. Like not punching the shit out of the trigger. Praise your form at 4:12 Not for you ego sake, but for your mental note to be like oh this is proper form. And that form at that shot was perfect! (if we ignore the release-position). But rly solid elbow, and you are using at least most of your back to pull.. also VERY nice as beginner. We dont care one bit where a new shooter hits... unless you hit a car. We care about your form and tune... Then "hitting the target well" comes automatically. Then when your got that down to science.... THEN you sight in your bow... And THEN your start worrying about groupings, scores, hits, plinks whatevs! If this is their "best dude" then im sry.... Find a different shop... You shouldnt be the Guinnea pig for them learning archery... "Center-center-levelled" ..... Sigh... It gets worse and worse... You cant reliably "center-center".. So thats why ppl (EVERYONE) usually goes 6 and 9... meaning you DONT center the small ring (peep) in the middle of the bigger ring (sight housing), bc its too hard/impossible to rly center that thing with no references other than floating air space. So your sight is never rly truly sighted in. So you place the little ring to touch the 6 and 9 o clock positions bc THEN you know you are repeating your alignment. Hes RLY inexperienced this dude.... Im taking back the "intermediate" label I gave him before.. Adds "beginner" level instead. That "Stabilizor" he put on.. Is not a stabilizor at all sigh... It has no weight in teh point, and its far to short... Its a vibration dampener (which its also doing a poor job of, but its doing something at least)... In my 101% honest advice. That thing is meant ONLY for chucking in the bin after you packed it out.... Hands up! I know im shit in the mouth.. But I already said... I dont give a shit about anyones curling feelings... But im TELLING you!!! The guy!!!!..... is CLUEEEEE... LESSSS!!!!.... He hasnt even fixed your release yet. And while hes doing that he should also lower your peep a tiny bit. You are slightly "hovering". If lower it a tiny bit you can get your nose and cheek closer to a consistent anchor point whereever you choose to. I also got HUGE issues with his workplace/clutter..... He has bows at potentially 2-3000dollars (Not his money.. a clients money).... and his coffee jug right next to it to spill on all the cams and small parts... rest of table full of tools and whatnot that could accidently cut scratch the bow/string. But sigh ok... Thats on him... Is his shop.. But teaching someone should be a job for a somewhat experienced fella.. Someone who knows how, why and whats. 1:21 He doesnt even know how to setup a bow! There are only D-loop on there... There should be two tied nocks aswell. D-loop alone (can easily) case a twist/grip on the arrow already just by being nocked, bc its too tight, or the knots on the d loop could be wrong "turned" the wrong way around and such. And ALL of this TLDR post..... That is ironically enough ME!!! Not being an expert! I just know all I need... This is the absolute minimum! Im 103,8% sure a real instructor will have MAAAAANY more (but smaller) issues he wants to fix... But all this is merely the basics imho...

@@DK_1983 thank you so much for your input. I found extreme value in it! I just went there to get arrows and to adjust my draw length. I know there’s a lot more to get me closer on becoming a better archer. Awesome advice. Thanks again!! 🏹

​@@thejerseytexan I made a mistake typing "shooter" in this first question... But I meant his technician/instructor side. (Bc I havent seen him shoot so...) You can shoot well.. Lots of ppl shoot well. But they have zero clue about tuning a bow or instructing other ppl, like Olympians, gold medalists... Hunters, shoot amazing.. A lot of them never touches their bow. Only shops. Jsut as examples. Many other types of ppl who also shoot amazing, but dunno whats going on mechanically/physically. But this guy charges other ppl money for it.... But I did go a bit harsh on him with some words. That maybe not "fair-fair"... But life isnt fair.... Sry but not sry -.- However I'll try to refrain from using nasty words tho out of respect. You were doing great actually as a beginner. You are either a natural or not as beginner as I think. The few critiques I had "about you" is on him (Bc how are you supposed to know as new?!). He should be instructing you. And he was more focused on watching the target when you was shooting. So how can he tell what is wrong or correct even? I would be watching YOU.. and the bow. Specifically your breathing, your anchor, your elbow and then in the moment your finger (release), dont pull it/jerk it, just squeeze it slowly together as if its one of those containers that slowly compresses the trash inside it.

@@bigboytasty Thank you!

@@luisguerra817 thank you! 🙏

@@MrBertWayne Lake Hopatcong is on my short list. Heard they’re biting. Soon!

Thank you! 😊

That’s cool! I will try that next time. Thanks!

Duly noted. This has certainly been outweighing my decision to proceed this Season. Thank you! 🦌

I appreciate you doing the right thing. Find a reputable shop and get the gear and yourself squared away. It will be worth it

@@johnkruszka5525 Thanks, John!

Yes! Was wondering if there was any correlation. Now I can’t disregard it. Handy tool 🐦‍⬛

Thank you so much, and great observations! It’s so new to me, and while this bow is not optimal it could only get better from here :)

Good shooting for first time but, really need to get bow set up for your correct draw length. That bow is set up for someone else once you get set up to your measurements you’ll be shooting arrows all touching and then you’ll realize how much that bow you have is not set up for you, but good shooting.

Definitely right. It was so wonky the first time I held it and tried to wield it. Eventually I will invest in my own Bow. Thanks!!

Sweet! 🎣

Lights on then lights out ✨

Lol. Right! I lucked out.

That you did, but it kept coming. Lol

Awe are your feelings hurt?

@ellensiniscalchi1482 No it's natural to kill animals for food and fun, other animals do it all the time do you call them heartless too? If you don't like it scroll !

No that deer is now heartless.... get your facts right lol besides this is the only way we as 9-5er's can get 40lbs of food for 7$

Right? I was extremely cautious lol

Thanks!

Thank you!

Thank you! Points well-taken and will do so on my next Hunts. Much appreciation and thanks again!

Good job. You got it done.If you don't mind my advice, cut with the direction of the hair and it won't come off and get on the meat as much.

@@brianbishop5188 Thank you! The hair did surprisingly tend to easily stick to the meat. This is definitely one piece of advice that will benefit in the long run. Thanks again!

If you have any questions that I can help you with, please do not hesitate to ask

At least 2 months. I still had swelling. Beginning of October until the beginning of December.

Hey! I was going to do an updated Video on my health. I'm feeling well and exercising and maintaining a Vegetarian diet. Before undergoing a drastic surgery, consult with your Physician. hop.clickbank.net/?affiliate=Apneasleep&vendor=vinur&pk_vid=12951396013540b11683388525fd36d4

Hey, Paul. I shot at a hog and it took off. Not sure if I got it. I spent 40 minutes looking for a blood trail but unsuccessful.

I will be there this year so I'm doing my research did you see a lot of deer. I hear that there are not that many due to the hogs.

I lucked out last year at the PAGE Unit, with my 1 Buck. I saw maybe three Doe and 3 Hogs in the few days I went. One Hog I snuck up on was at least 50lbs with long teeth. Good luck and have fun!!

One last question should I hunt from a tree or stalk

Double check Tree Stand options. I did see an old wooden tree stand a mile in, in a very cool clearing, but I prefer to stalk.

It's a magical place for me. It's also ideal for a picnic, a stroll while holding hands, or just a meeting place with portrait buskers.

The trek was arduous but my will was stronger. Such a great place to visit!

Very true, Scott. I need to explore and change up my lures for the appropriate environments. Thnx!

Not exactly sure where, since the other guys drove in. Eels? Had no idea. Appreciate the heads up! Thnx

@@thejerseytexan Lamprey eels not regular eels . But if ya do catch eels cut up good for big channle cats !

Looks like they’re above the old Price junkyard falls.. I grew up in Bradley Gardens, and know that area like the palm of my hand.

The end of the video they were up by headgates..

Thanks for reaching out. Hope all goes well on your surgery on the 24th! I think the main takeaway for me is that I've been more health conscious and eating healthier. Breathing better!

Hey! Are you ok?

Now how are youuu right now?

Nice!! I appreciate that. Thank you!!
