Re: Canada in the Rough episode disappointment

Sorry, I just spent 5 weeks in Chatsworth, CA, so my view is somewhat jaded. As a bonified hillbilly in the p*rn capital of North America, I was a fish out of water. (I was working an aircraft contract out there, I have nothing to do with that other industry) :lol: I met a guy on a albacore tuna fis...

Re: Canada in the Rough episode disappointment

In my opinion, they are all staged or sanitized. I've noticed that you never see a deer with its tongue hanging out like mine do when I come up on them after the shot. Just an observation. Remember, it's TV, nothing is real.

Re: Ready-Shot Knee Pod

I've been looking at this. Is it constructed of aluminum? How does it extend and lock? Great idea!

Re: It's getting close!

I just accepted a contract on the other side of the country from my deer stand. I'm to start a couple of weeks before Missouri deer season. I guess I'll hold off buying my Excalibur until next year. I'm bummed, but have to go where the jobs are. Please post pictures of your hunts, I'll live vicariou...

Re: Nicked

Oh no, I hate seeing this. I have huge hands and long fingers, now I'm paranoid. Is there some kind of guard that can prevent this?

Re: Win a deer call

I'm in! I don't own a crossbow, yet. But I do bow hunt and could put this to good use. Great looking call and fun contest.

Re: Abit O T, but entertainin, Pics

As a southern Missouiri boy, you are making me quite homesick. I'm in Los Angeles for another 5 weeks and can't wait to get home.

Re: What would be Your Dream Crossbow Rig ?

I'm a newb, but I think a Blackout 405 topped with a Leupold of some sort would be real close. In the interim, the Blackout 380 will fill my tag..

Re: OT - falling apart / old age

A friend of mine had similar issues, turned out he had Lymes disease from a tick bite. He had heavy antibiotic doses and is a lot better now. They have a simple blood test for it now, you may want to mention it to your doctor. Either way, get well soon, hunting season is coming.

Re: Bow-Mag Arrowheads

I have to admit, it's a novel idea, but a bad fit for me. I would think they are good for one shot and would probably damage the arrow. (I sure hope I'm not stepping on a sponsor or something.)

Re: Decent binoculars

I'm a diehard Leupold optics guy, but chose Vortex for my binoculars. The Vortex Raptors offer a great value for your dollar (or Loonie). I was impressed with their clarity and lifetime warranty. I ended up with one of the HD models, but the Raptor is pretty hard to beat. Do a search on : Vortex Rap...

Bow-Mag Arrowheads

I just saw this on one of those TV hunting shows. At first I thought it was a joke, but evidently someone is really marketing these. It's a big ole blunt looking tip that contains a .38 or .357 cartridge that fires on impact. I'm prone to dropping arrows from cold fingers from my tree stand, so this...

Re: Anti-Theft "Chipping" a crossbow

. . . as far as vehicles go, and some items i don't want it back if they get jacked. they're usually ragged out and if its not you'll have problems down the road :shock: Yep, My old truck has 330,000 miles on it and is always parked with the keys in it. I figure that nobody knows the required names...
