I didn't know that. Interesting. I just figured you were at the local Walmart and saw them putting up the displays already.

So are you suggesting it doesn't really happen and they doctored the tapes to prove a point that doesn't exist?

Cool idea. Please put my 14 year old son, Noah in the mix. He'll be sitting out with me this year, both of us armed with Phoenixes.
Thanks for the opportunity.

That was awesome! I actually jumped when the can exploded because I wasn't expecting the outcome.
Nice shot. Did you do it more than once?

Elmer, I'm just north of you in Calhoun Co. I drive down I-69 many times and am just amazed at how many deer hang out in the fields along the highway. You shouldn't have any problem picking one out. I actually hunt north in Barry Co. Last year I plucked my first deer with a crossbow, my Phoenix. Thi...

Wait until you come home from work and see a little yellow stickie note on your front door stating how the UPS man was there but couldn't leave the package unattended, but you can pick it up the next day between 9 and 5 Try to sleep on that

Who cares? I want deer in my freezer and the time to spend in the woods, scouting, sitting in a tree, hanging out with my son, watching the geese fly by, watching a sunset, etc. It's not a "game" that I can "cheat" at. It's a lifestyle.

Yeah, I think Michigan is pretty much all Sunday hunting allowed. I think one of the last holdouts was Hillsdale County in SW Michigan but they've since voted to repeal that for the most part. I've lived in Michigan, as an Ohio transplant, since 1984 and have always been able to hunt on Sunday. In O...

The punishment could be tougher but it's very creative. Reporting to jail for the duration of deer season for 4 years. Classic.

I call them bolts because I want to. Plus I like the word "bolt" over "arrow". I think it sounds cooler. Cupid shoots 'arrows" but Thor, the Norse god of Thunder and son of Odin, played with "bolts". Bolts are cooler. Oh yeah, and popcorn's cool too

You wear hunter orange when hunting turkeys?

That's funny

In Michigan you can only hunt turkeys from an elevated platform, using a bow or crossbow. Gun hunters must stay on the ground. None the less, I've never tried it, although I've had turkeys walk underneath me during deer season, close enough to take one.

I would go back and inquier more about the insurance thing. Ask him to clarify what he means. Who's there insurance provider? Is it a "poundage" thing? Do they only allow bows with a certain max fps? Is it just there club or is it a state thing or a federal thing, etc.? I would just ask a ...
