Re: Ontario numbers down

Of course the numbers are down! You can't allow people to have 6 and 7 tags each (if you hunt 2 areas or more) and expect the numbers not to drop. People have been shooting more deer than they need simply because it is exciting. Add the strong coyote population to that and you have a recipe for decr...

Re: O/T Snow Camo

I did try that stuff. It came with a wash and the UV treatment. Did not seem to solve the problem. Not sure why it was just the pants either. I know when I purchased the suit, they had to back order the jacket so it was newer than the pants. I offered to send the stuff back to Predator so they could...

Re: broadhead/bolt combo to stay away from..

Hehe! If you knew what a beauty this one was, you would be lucky to pry it out of my hands. I picked this thing up as an old used 1989 BDL .223. I knew I wanted a Remington varmint gun. I did not however dream I would get one that shoots like this one. All factory except the Boyds thumbhole stock an...

Re: broadhead/bolt combo to stay away from..

You will never get an answer on this question because it comes down to personal taste. Some like Reebok, others like Nike. Broadheads are the same way. Try em until you have one you are confident with and go shooting. One man's perfect broadhead is only what HE thinks is perfect! Nothing else. Now, ...

Re: broadhead/bolt combo to stay away from..

I don't understand how you could lung shoot 2 deer, kill 3 and have no blood trail? A broadhead kills by bleeding the animal. Where did the blood go? The only scenario I can think of is a spine shot and top of lungs with the chest cavity filling up and the animal dying beofre the blood reached the l...

Re: O/T Snow Camo

Don't buy Predator Camo (Warp Knit) winter suit! Their light gear, such as the bow hunter suit was fine but the winter suit has a huge UV issue. I was getting picked off in the bush at 100 yards in spots where there was no way in hell the deer could have seen me. I could not figure it out until some...

Re: broadhead/bolt combo to stay away from..

Sorry about your luck! I have shot nothing but Thunderheads (100) for years. I wouldn;t even dream of shooting them at the same dot becuase they land in the same spot every time. Did you buy a pre-assembled bolt? I always buy the bare shaft and do my own fletching and inserts. L2's and T-heads are a...

2010 Trophy room ....

Hey, where is the 2010 trophy room? No contests this year?

Don't tell me we are going to revert back to the old blood stained, tongue hanging out of the mouth hillbilly droool pictures of old?

I liked where things were headed. Good quality shots, classy looking rigs with some fine animals.

Re: What now?

It was simple friendly kick to help you try to see the good in this. Losing your job is a terrible thing, but as in most situations, there is usually some silver lining. Looks like you have seen some of it already. Good luck Ray! Enjoy the time with the kids. I suspect it won;t be long before you ar...

Re: What now?

Ray, I was asked during a tough time if I wanted "the patt on the back or the kick in the butt speech"! Well, you have received several patt's and no kick so here it comes :shock: You mentioned your son will fall into an internet lifestyle because of this. Well, there is one person who can...

Re: Coyote Appreciaition

I hear ya man. I started yote hunting last year and I am hooked. Hitting the bush at 6:15 tomrow in hopes of knocking one down. I went form no varmint gun to all the bells and whistles and reloading my own ammo. Great way to spend the winter.

Nice yotes there!
