Enjoy the simple life!

Boy howdy, you said it!!!

Just quoting what you said brother, and agreeing with you by the way! Your last sentence in that post was "Just to much politic's involved in what should be reasonable game laws."

Still, I will totally agree that cocking your bow just after you've made a shot will probably do no more to spook deer withing earshot of those two sounds. That seams like logic to me. But, I don't know anout the climbing part. Well, let me explain it better ... I crank mine to the cocked position ...

I asked a CO 2 days ago why we couldn't shoot suckers with a cross bow and the answer was that when they shot with their compound it was turned down to around 20 lbs and they felt a cross bow was over kill. I asked him if he didn't think a 338 , 7mm mag., 300 mag or bigger wasn't a little over kill...

Man, you were lucky! :shock: :oops: On the noise thing, I have watched a buck stand perfectly still after a bullet, make that TWO bullets went zinging right over the top of his neck and hit the dirt behind him, followed of course by the report of the .308.

The snow sure helps in picking them out...... Not so much without it!

Very nice buck, congrats!

Thanks! Looks like he has you spotted.

Nobody has said anything about the American society in general. We were taught at a VERY young age that all men were "sir" and all women "ma'am", unless said person told you otherwise. These days and in any store, half the male employees address me as "man" or "dud...

Paul,
I forgot to add, thanks for your thoughts!

I keep getting "Sorry, the requested page does not exist" on your link.

Use the level and improve your accuracy. To say you can cant either a compound or crossbow without changing poi is absurd. Some people are minimalists and that's fine, but don't say it's bells and whistles making no difference. That's simply untrue. Find ANYWHERE in my post that I said the above, a...
