Re: It's a BOY>.

another quick update.. Owen has taken another turn for worse. We are in the process of transporting him to NICU in London. His breathing has gotten worse, technically not able to breath on his own without assitance, and has a heart murmur. After more bloodwork, another chest xray and an EKG on heart...

Re: It's a BOY>.... UPDATE

The pediatrician isn't satisfied with Owen's ability to breath on his own. They ordered more blood work, another chest xray and an EKG on his heart. Looks like he will ...

Re: Best way to quiet an Excalibur?

i agree 100%, the noise will bother you more then the deer... remember also that unless the deer is in alert mode, there is next to no way he will jump string.. if you actually put yourself in the animals place, the bow isn't nearly as loud as it appears, seeing how all the noise is directly next to...

Re: Screw-in tree steps and me

i hear ya my friend, and i no longer use them for a couple reasons.. 1) it's much harder then advertised, especially when you have to put 15 of them or more in... 2) i find it a pain and dangerous to climb in the dark and during wet weather and in winter. mud and snow collects on your boots and make...

Re: Not a single deer on my cam

i am no expert, but i would imagine the building of the stand would hurt them more. they are used to predators and are watchful of them, but seeing something out of the ordinary in an otherwise remote area might set them off a little.. put out some corn and some Deer Co'Caine if you can, this will l...
