the Whitetailed Fawn
Whitetailed fawns are usually born between May and June after a gestation period of 205 to 218 days. Fawns generally weigh 4 to 5 pounds at birth and they possess a light tan coat covered with cream-colored spots numbering from 250 to 350 in total. These spots create the illusion of small patches of...

Ninepointer, I own 200 acres of hunting and agricultural land on Manitoulin Island where the whitetailed deer population is estimated at 25,000. The author is me. Took all of 35 minutes to write.

wounded deer and trailing
I believe in pursuising immediately....if you are most certain that you've made a killing hit....no matter where you hit, so long as it is a deadly hit. Because of the considerable amount of information that can be gained from a careful examination of a wounded deer's trail, this phase of woodcraft ...

Baking soda will do the job. You know the one with the cow on it. If needed, do a couple of empty loads using baking soda then do one with your hunting clothes in it using some baking soda.

archery debate
Education.....is what is needed here. We must educate the public. We must show them the similarities and the differences between crossbows and recurved and compound bows.

165 Exocet
I too own a 165 Exocet which I bought new in '98. Back then I remember paying $631 total...... taxes included for the hunters package. (extra string, wax, 6 bolts, 6 broadheads, bow cover, etc.) There is absolutely nothing wrong with it. I harvested 4 deer in 4 straight years between 99 and 02. It's...
