First, don't use the ATV. Second, now that does will be coming into estrus soon, if not already, he's probably roaming to see which girls are ready for a date. One trick I like is sitting on a fresh scrape right after a rain. My theory is that the bucks know that it washes/dulls their scent out and ...

Now you have a hunting partner for life!

Maybe some of the reason no one specifies gender when mentioning squirrels or other fur-bearers are that both sexes look the same...I know when using archery equipment, any deer is an accomplishment. During rifle season I usually wait for a nice buck because we have so many deer and I get tired of c...

It all depends on the deers state of alertness and how far you can shoot accurately. Another thing to consider is that penetration tends to fade as distances increase and if you're using fixed blades or mechanicals. Arrow weight is another factor effecting penetration. I too shoot an Exomax and FOR...

I need some help with determining velocity. Does anyone know what the ball park velocity is of an Exomax(2010) with the factory string shooting Firebolts with 125gr heads? Is it reasonable to say it would be halfway between the 100gr and 150gr heads? I don't have a chronograph and would appreciate ...

Either that deer had been there awhile or the bear was right behind him when he got hit since the deer is still alive when the bear finds him. Sometimes the Highway Patrol will dispatch a wounded wild animal if one is found at the crash site...Yeah someone should go ahead and kill the deer instead ...

One thing to consider is the closet range it will register yardage and if it has the ARC function which factors in shot angle into the range measurement. But since most shots will be 40-50yds and closer then most will do OK. Most rangefinders work well in close but the more expensive ones start to ...

What model did you go with? When my Exomax came the string serving was right at the upper reference mark(closest to scope). Now after a dry fire and several subsequent shots its right at 1 1/8" from where the rail and riser meet which is where most on here said theirs are..

IMO any discussion of deer jumping the string has to consider the deer's anxiety state at the shot. A deer that is stopped with a "blaaat" etc is in a flight-ready state. The next noise it hears triggers the avoidance response. That response may well be to the SIGHT of the arrow, as well ...
