I have a Bushnell Yardage Pro Sport and it works fine. Range finders are great if you use a portable climbing stand. I will vary my stand locations depending on wind directions and deer movement. I am also continually developing new suburban hunting locations. A range finder lets you move into an ar...

I also use an old bolt to uncock my bow. To limit penetration into the ground, place a washer that is lager that the diamter of the field point on the point thread. This works well.

Dave,
I read the Frontiersman and it was great. He certainly has a way of bringing history alive. I just started reading is book on Tecumsah. I keep looking for the rest of his series at book sales.

I had a great season. 1 buck and two does with the emag, and two does in rifle season.

It appears that this is a rare event. The message is to wear gloves when removing the entrails. The article can be read at:

Your breaking my heart with all these Wisconsin bucks! I am lucky if I see two or three bucks a season. Sounds like you had quite an exciting evening.
