gagnons sports

Well, still not looking good as to when Gagnons will re-open. Talking to a friend at work who knows Jerry Gagnon well, apparently the insurance company is holding out on them so they are unable to stock the shelves to allow for a proper opening. I will keep asking if any more info is available and m...

Just to clarify that my buddy saw deer before the shotgun hunt on the property and prior to the adjustments done to the fence to create the snapping sounds by barely touching the trees and also some of the electric fence was raised to about 6 feet high at key fence crossing areas. There has been ze...

Bunny huggers chasing the deer away

Just a question for you out there. A friend of mine from work shotgun hunted on his dad's farm in the Millbrook area as he usually does but a neighbour farmer objects to the idea of hunting of any kind. So he proceeds to make adjustments to his electric fence so it touches the trees and certain obj...

Almost had a turkey in my lap

Had a great day scouting today. Went to my main spot in Pontypool and saw a bird in the field when I came in but he or she saw me first. Couldn't get a look to id. Bumped into a raccon twice within ten minutes within about 20 feet both times. I think he was getting a little miffed. Then moved to ano...

A little off topic but I bought a 9 foot fly rod and put an ultralight reel on it and went to Lake Simcoe with it last fall and caught 30-40 jumbo perch on it (10-13 inch range). Great to cast and to catch them with it.

turkey hunt preferred setupbroadhead vs.broadhead plus

I was just looking for feedback on the topic of broadheads on their own versus broadheads plus snubbers,grapplers,etc for turkey hunting. What do you guys use and have you had good success with your setup. Thank you for any and all feedback.

Hey Digger...you beat me to the draw. :) . I went to Gagnons on the way to work and they didnt have the Zwickey Scorpios in stock but the fellow John at the archery desk said he'd look into it. I did find them at jesseshunting.com for $2.55 a pair and at eders.com for $3.50 a pair.They are called Sc...

Anyway, if you could get the arrow to not pass through and used a lighted moon nock like the Archers Flame I would think that that would definitely aid in game recovery. Seems like an excellent idea but when I looked at the site, I noted that the crossbow nock has a notch in it. do you know if they...

inserts

I would think that if you had the threaded inserts on both ends that if you ever missed :oops: or made a pass through shot :D and put it into a tree or a log, etc. that an arrow puller would be threaded into it to help pull it back out. Would that be the case??? Also if you used the heavy brass inse...

stoppers

You might want to check at Gagnon Sports in Oshawa. I have bought them there and seen them but call ahead and ask first. That is if you are local and it is worth your drive that is. They have been restocking and changing the store around a bit lately for the turkey hunt.

shedding their antlers

A buddy of mine got a monster doe today 'cept it had spare parts. :shock: :shock: . After closer examination his doe was a buck that had already shed his antlers. So if you're waiting for Mr. BIG, he may be in cognito by now.

Well I went out for a last hurrah today but same as everybody here I came up with my tag in my pocket. No fresh tracks since last Thursday's rain/snow. Too much crust and snow and they went to places unknown. Oh well good luck for those who hunt tomorrow. I unstrung my bow and getting my walleye and...
