Heading to Vegas in December and I saw this place last time I was there.

Is it worth it or a waste? Is the butchers feast the best deal or is it better to order everything separately?

Thanks to everyone who commented on my post about when people's opening days were.

Next question: Do you take a deer as soon as the opportunity presents itself, or do you wait for the perfect deer or time?

Personally, I take a deer as early as possible to just get on the board and take some pressure off, knowing I have at least one down. Doesn't matter if it's a buck or a doe. After I get that first one, then I switch over and am more picky with any other deer I shoot.

September 12 for me in WI.

Drop your opening day date and the state.

Not talking raw cuts but processed venison.

Last time I got a deer processed I got garlic summer sausage and blueberry cheddar sticks made. Both were excellent.

This year I want to get some breakfast sausage links made.

Want to hear what other people’s favorite items are and get some ideas for stuff.

Question for the group:

I shoot a RX9 Ultra, and I've been shooting off the bare riser for a while now. I just have a strip of skateboard grip tape on the front and back of the riser.

One thing that I figured out is that I wasn't shooting with enough pressure on the grip coming from the bottom of my palm which was causing the pin to drift low. If I apply that bottom palm pressure it raises the pin quite a bit. I really don't want to spend the money on an actual third party grip, so I'm wondering if anyone has used hockey tape or bow grip tape to basically build up a raised spot on the grip.

Like I find the spot on the grip where I want that bottom palm pressure to come from and then throw on a few wraps of hockey tape or something to make that spot raised. Anyone try anything like that or forsee any issues that might come up?

Heading to Destin FL this weekend and the weather isn't looking great with a chance of rain our only 2 full days there. Doesn't look like there's much to do indoors, so figured I'd check and see what the BBQ situation was and maybe do a little road trip.

What are your recommendations? 1-2 hour drive time is fine. We have a rental car. My wife and I really like brisket and beef ribs.

Got a beach vacation coming up and in the past I’ve just used a cheap Walmart insulated soft cooler which actually held up pretty well.

I’m thinking about getting the Hopper M12 though, but wanted to get some feedback on it in terms of capacity and the ability to use it as a carry on luggage for flights.

In terms of cooler use, it would just need to carry canned drinks, ice and probably a little food, so any feedback on capacity would be welcome. I don’t need the ice to last more than a day, it’s purely going to be used for day trips.

Maybe this isn’t the right sub, but my kid got a job at a casino and he’s assigned to blackjack.

Anyone know of any good materials for people who are dealers? Easy tips on how payouts work would be huge.

Why does he have such an affinity for taking stupid penalties??!!! You cannot give this Hurricanes team PP opportunities.

If you can’t hit a guy clean, don’t hit him at all. Cross checked a guy last game, penalty. Cross checked a guy this game, penalty.

Went to my shop and shot the Wiseguy against the Solex clicker.

Really torn between the two. I’m coming from a UV button 2 thumb release. An index release just gives me a more consistent anchor point and since I tore my rotator cuff in my bow drawing shoulder it puts me in a more pain free position.

Looking for feedback on these two release. I am leaning Wiseguy right now.

As a Midwesterner I love going to Vegas, but have never been during the playoffs. What is the vibe around the city? Do the casinos and bars go all out in support of the team?

I just have this idea in my head that the party atmosphere is taken to another level during the playoffs.

Heading to Red Lodge TAC for the second year in a row in a few weeks. One thing I really struggled with last year was side hill shots. It’s just not something I was ever able to practice.

I’m really trying to understand what I want my sight bubble to look like as part of the shot process. Do I want my sight bubble level or do I want it not to be level and it going in the opposite direction of the hill? Just trying to figure out how I need everything to be during the shot process so I shoot straight.

Shooting a touch longer draw length so I can’t use a kisser button like I used to as the string is just past the corner of my mouth.

Recently put a nose button to give me a reference point and I’m three sessions in on it. I do like it, and I found it actually reduces my pin float. One problem I have is being repeatable in terms of putting the nose button in the same spot on the tip of my nose every shot. I come to full draw, and then move my nose to the button. I don’t think I’m doing a good job of putting it in the same spot though, so it’s creating inconsistency in my shooting. Likewise my nose is on the shorter side so I have a I have to tilt my head quite a bit to get the tip of my nose to touch. Like the amount I have to crane my head around is uncomfortable so it messes me up some.

I actually find I have to tilt my head less if I let the nose button touch more of the side of the tip of my nose vs directly on the tip. I guess should I be more concerned with just being able to be consistent and repeatable regardless where it touches my nose over the nose button having to touch the tip of my nose.

Recently had the launcher on my QAD MX2 break. Luckily I was at my shop and they just swapped on a new one as part of the QAD warranty. For those that run limb driven rests, do you have any worry that the rest activation cord is going to get caught on anything or are the chances of it getting caught on something just as high as with a cable driven rest.

For context I'm just a WI whitetaile tree stand hunter, but I do shoot a lot of 3D including TAC events. I think that cord getting caught on branches or something like that is the biggest reason why I don't shoot a Hamskea or something similar to it.

I hunt private land so there is no need to take stuff down at the end of the season like stands, climbing sticks, bow hangers, safety straps, lifelines, etc.

How many of you just leave all of it up in the tree during the summer? Is there any importance to taking it down during the summer months just to have to re-hang all of it before the season, especially if it's just going up the same tree as the year before.
