It doesn't necessarily ask all the right questions but isn't bad. There are several questions and you can check opposed or not opposed and then are allowed to make comments after each question.

Have never seen a reason to use anything on that string.

Along these same lines, I've found that the ThermaCare products work great although they do cost more than the little heater packets. But they also cover a much greater area. The one I use a lot is the one for the back. Wrap it so it is on the lower back and it is good for an all day hunt and is sti...

Glad you made it home Ray. Now make some memories with the kids.

Thanks fellas. Since starting this thread it seems to me somewhere I read an average deer reaction time is .067 or somewhere around that figure, but don't take that as an honest figure. It just came to me. May be right; may be wrong. What I'm looking at is, say a broadside shot and knowing that the ...

How far will a bolt fly at 300 fps before the deer actually hears the sound of the shot?

I know the speed of sound is 1125 fps but do not know what a deer's reaction time is but believe it is quite a bit under one second.

Yes, it is common to find does still giving milk even into December! However, do not worry too much about those fawns as they will get along just fine. For an example, one year we had a doe with twin fawns. In early June the doe was killed on the road. Those fawns were still pretty tiny, but they go...

Congratulations. That looks almost like a twin to one that I've been trying to get!

Great story! Don't you wish all your hunts were that good?!

Welcome Kevin. Great introduction. Congratulations on the deer too!

I too am new to the site and also from MI. Where are you located in MI? Were you perhaps on the MS forum?

Like the man said, "It will feel good when it quits hurting!"

Yes, I've whacked my thumb once. Hopefully that is enough of a lesson.

I feel for you. Hope you heal fast. You'll like the crankaroo. Works great.

That is great to have your wife hunt too. It should give you many happy moments and memories. Hopefully the kids will hunt too. My wife hunted for many years until physical problems caused her to have to stop. I miss having her out there. We had two sons and they both hunted also. Can you imagine, w...

Cook it for how long in the pressure canner? According to Mirro's book: Beef, Veal, Lamb, Pork (I assume venison to be the same as beef for this). Pint jars: After the control jiggles, cook for 75 minutes at 10 lbs pressure. Quarts: After the control jiggles, cook for 90 minutes at 10 lbs pressure....

Maybe a new class in Pope & Young!

Good for you for taking a buddy. Good luck to both of you next time.

Here in MI its about the same thing even with Cabela. However, because those stores are so far, I order from Cabela and only one time have I had a problem with them. That was taken care of later so my hat's off to them. But the store in MI really sucks.
