A lot of my friends go out around 10 am and sit as long as they can. Deer get smart on us too. Most hunters go out in the morning and come in for lunch, then they will go out again in the evening. Deer will pick up on that and start moving around more in the later morning and afternoon. Deer need to...

The deer I shot on opening day did the same thing. It ended up running about 3 hundred yards from where I shot it. It rained that night so I didn't have any blood to follow. Me and a buddy kept looking for over 2 hours before we found it. I'm sure it died within 10 minutes because it was a neck shot...

I used the 100g Wasp by Boss. It shoots the same as my target head so I feel comfortable with it after sighting it in and never had any problems with it. Some day I would like to find the bolt to see what shape the tip is in.

opening day

I had an excellent opening day. It took me a while to get my bow sighted in. I was all over the board. I ended up replacing the string and boom, hitting the target right where I wanted. I didn't think a string made that much difference to the accuracy of the bow. After sitting in my climber for 4 ho...

Run over by a deer

I was given permission to hunt on a new piece of land a couple of weeks ago. So I decide yesterday to go and scout out the area. The woods must be over 100 acers and I wanted to walk through most of it to get a good sence of what the deer were up to. I'm about an hour in to it when I heard something...

Northern Cougar

I was rabbit hunting a couple years a little west of Listowel. We were driving down some country roads slowly looking up in the trees for the odd grouse when a large black cat ran in front of our truck. It was definitley a large cat. A year later, somewhat around the area we sighted the large cat, w...

She was standing broad side to me. It was only a 25 yard shot. I even aimed a little low incase she dropped when she heard the bow. We wanted to wait a little longer but it was almost 8 pm and we didn't have a clue where we were in the woods. ( thank god for a full moon )We also had a way to drive h...

What went wrong?

Last night around 4:45 I took a good shot at a large Doe. Heard the arrow hit the Doe and watched her run off into the woods. Grab all my gear and headed off to the truck to drop everything off and pick up my buddy and our flash lights. It was a good 30 minutes before we started to look for her. Fou...
