I am in agreement with you Yakman$ since we are getting such generous offers for prizes. We should try to eliminate any temptation. The other thing that would do is demonstrate to all that we are law abiding since we are doing this on Excalibur's web forum. All contestants could email me a picture o...

Seems like we're headed for individuals, no teams and how about we give bow hunters 1 point on their total. That way we need less prizes for the winners. Two classes would need double the prizes. I don't see a problem removing the date requirement if all agree to go on honesty. We have prizes offere...

How about this as a basis to start? Please add suggestions/likes/dislikes. Together we can get a framework set. Entry requirements: You gotta have pics of the bird! Take as many as you need to to make sure you have what is needed for entry. At a minimum we need: 1-A picture of you, the bird, your we...

Far from it for its purpose. The 204 Ruger was developed by Hornady and Ruger and it fires a thirty-two grain twenty caliber V-Max bullet at an advertised muzzle velocity of 4225 feet per second. This translates into a near instantaneous bullet impact and with little felt recoil, you can see the imp...

No disrespect intended but in Michigan you are able to take a bearded hen. Here is the language from the 2009 Spring Turkey Guide... Bag Limit—One bearded turkey per licensed hunter. See diagram for beard location. It is unlawful to take or possess a turkey that does not have a beard, or tag a bird ...

ExoMax Replacement Stock
When my Exomax arrived the other day, the box had been beat up pretty bad. The limb yoke was wrapped in bubble wrap but due to excessive banging around chipped the stock between the trigger guard and the forend pretty bad. It's strictly cosmetic but it drives me nuts. I inquired if there was a thumb...

Do you have a hunting preserve by you? The preserves around here have them for put and take. Chukar tends to run more than fly and they let you get really close. Not a very bright bird as far as I can tell. The one preserve that I hunt, after the hunt, they watch the next couple of days and catch al...

Ischa, After 10 minutes of reading over there I see what you mean. Someone wants to meet in Lansing in April to unite crossbow hunters and immediately the bickering starts. It is shameful! It is no wonder why it feels that we are fighting an uphill battle. I have four daughters and a wife that all p...

The Michigan Bow Hunters Association was not as extreme but mobilized their forces to stop the passage of Michigan's newest crossbow legislation. It appears that all of these organizations have become so narrowly focused that they miss some of the more rewarding reasons for this. Yesterday, I assemb...

I have two of these that I rotate on multiple guns, the strongest being my 20 gauge and my Tominator Shotgun which kicks like a mule because of 2 3/4 ounce shots. The cheapest I have seen them is $50.00 and they weren't camo. I can attest that they have never failed me and I like the ability to use ...

Agreed and in my mind these guys are poachers too! Maybe even worse cause they've made a living of it. Who hasn't heard of Adams County, the Schmucker Buck or the Golden Triangle. In some ways, I think we create this element ourselves. A 200 inch whitetail is awesome and rare, imagine what all these...

Nice looking arrows. I have a Gander Mtn. about 10 miles from my house. I'll go check it out. I have about 3 dozen 2317 xx78's that were never used, could I cut them down to use for bolts in an equinox or exomax? Or would they be too stiff. They are already crown dipped in white. Or do you need to ...
