Wool pants

After many years of service my wool hunting pants are beyond repair. In searching for new ones I came across 'Big Bill' wool pants. Looks like they are Canadian made.

Any one familiar with them? Any other suggestions?

electronic dog collars

I'm thinking about getting an electronic collar for my Brittany spaniel (and perhaps for my Griffin) as a training aid. Sport Dog & Dogtra both seem to have good reviews in terms of performance and customer service. I don't need a unit with a very long effective range - 500 yds would be about th...

Re: Vixen price

Vixen price

An acquaintance is looking to buy a used bow for his daughter & asked if I was interested in selling my vixen set up: Brown vixen in good condition Dead zone scope 2 Boo strings 6 Big John arrows Quiver but I can't find the mounting bracket. Any suggestions as to a fair price in Canadian dollars...

Re: Micro 335 v micro mag 340

Is there any reason to prefer a 335 over the mag 340 ? Obviously the 335 would be used .

Micro 335 v micro mag 340

What's the difference between these bows? I realize the 335 is a past model.

Re: AXE on sale at EastHill's

How difficult is it to cock the axe ? I'm still shooting a vortex (which I got from Big John) and a vixen.

mossberg slug gun

I agree with Boo. The savage is a good gun. I have a 20 gauge which is plenty for deer and bear. 12g will give an exttra bang with a lot extra push back.
