Rattling
I have had limited success rattling. I find the window of opportunity in my area is fairly short. Usually about 2-3 weeks around mid November. I have also only had smaller bucks respond. I have been using synthetic rattling horns but find them rather bulky and awkward to carry to the stand. Been thi...

Allowing local level politicians to make gun legislation decisions is very dangerous. If the current mayor of Toronto had his way, nobody in Toronto would be allowed to have a firearm in thier residence. He would like to see a central firearm respository where residents had to store thier firearms a...

Bill, Thank you very much for the reply. Interestingly, I just talked to the guy who sold me the the bow this morning and he confirmed exactly what you are saying. Just to let you know this is my second Excaibur. The first one was an Exocet I purchased back in 1994. It has served me very well and I ...

Exomag & Broadhead Size
I recently purchased a used Exomag. It's in excellent shape and I got a good deal. However, I was going to do some practice shooting with broadheads. I am using Thunderhead 125's on Gold Tip Laser 2 Bolts. However it does not look like I can shoot these broad heads from this bow. When I load the arr...

During the first 2 weeks, you are only allowed to purchase 1 additional tag. That is 1 in total, not 1 per WMU. After Aug. 20, for WMU's where tags are still available you can purchase a number of tags up to the limit per person for the WMU. For example WMU 67 allows up 6 tags per person while 69A o...

I just recently upgraded to an emag from an older carved tipped exocet (1994 vintage). The emag I bought originally had carved limbs when it was purchased but the former owner had changed over to mag tips. I managed to upgrade after selling mine for a net cost of $100. Realistically though, I probab...

I have to agree with everybody who mentioned follow through. For me whenever I make a bad shot, it can almost always be blamed on not following through. Now, whenever I see a deer approaching and I decide I am going to take a shot if/when it presents itself, I start repeating to myself in my mind, &...

Exomag Bolt & Brodhead Combo
Hey guys, I just bought an EXOMAG from a buddy. For EXOMAG owners, what are your favourite setups in terms of bolt and broadhead combos. I prefer to shoot aluminum shafts but have not totally ruled out carbons. I also have shot Thunderhead 125's for years from my Exocet and have had good performance...

I have a buddy who baits them. He goes around to butcher shops and gets meat scraps and bones. He's killed 18 in the last year and a half. The farmer who owns the property was regularly losing calves to yotes. Since my buddy started hunting them he hasn't lost any. The farmer is so happy, he now let...

F150's are known for front end problems. Ball joints, tie rod ends, etc. If you find a truck you like, might be a good idea to have a mechanic take a quick look at the front end. On a good note I have a 2002 f150 4x4 with extended cab and short box. I bought it new in 2002 and have 92,000 km (55,000...
