I'm pretty sure that you can't shoot red squirrells in Ontario unless you have a trappers licence as they are considered a fur-bearing animal. Only the blacks/greys are fair game during their open season,although I have been wrong before.

We don't think of it as an organ or guts,but as a muscle in our camp. The heart is always sliced in half from top to bottom,washed out and seasoned with steak spice,and cooked over an open fire,usually within an hour or 2 of being removed from the animal. Fresh deer heart,it aint just for breakfast....

AWESOME!!! Gotta love hearing the early success stories!! I'm gonna hafta live through you and other posters down your way for a couple more weeks before I get my chances up here. But, on the bright side, partridge opens up next weekend!!! Nothing like the smell of coffee,gunpowder and chainsaw oil ...

My hunting partner picked up a rotary feeder from Cabelas while down at a race earlier this year, and we've had it out for 3 weeks now. We set it for 3-6 second feedings in the morning and 3-6 second feedings in the evening, all with a 1/2 hour delay between activations. The whole corn looks like it...

One other tip, (which I have not yet tried but read a while ago on this site) if you are having problems seeing/confirming that drops are really blood, a spray bottle with hydrogen peroxide when squirted on blood will foam up. I am for sure going to have a spray bottle available at the camp this yea...

I hit natural(use apples from a few friends and neighbors trees, as well as have an auto-feeder for corn) but also have 2 mineral licks set out on the property year-round. Looking at 2 spots for food plots to be put in next year as well.

Hi Fingerless
Welcome to the Excalibur CROSSBOW Forum. I can already see you are going to be an endless fountain of info. Back to your covered bridge now, it's got a wireless hookup for you.

Provincial regs was what I was going to say before I hit the wrong button lol.

Hi Grizzled
Welcome to the forum. The info you pickup here will no doubt help you in your future endeavors. Don't be afraid to search through the archives for any info you might need.
As for shooting any animal, you might want to check your

I have a fencepost that's rotted in the backyard and is starting to lean, taking the fence panels with it. Do you folks recommend putting in a new one right away, or wait for a few more to give up the ghost and make it a weekend project for the boys???
Thanks, John

Just in the Canadian Tire here tonight in Kingston for some fishing stuff, they have a complete line of Excalibur crossbows and accessories for sale....wasn't too impressed with the markup myself though. Is this in all their stores across the province/country this week to fill up the turkey section?...

My 2 cents on this topic. NHL players are the best in the world at what they do and they should be paid accordingly, if the money is there. Look at other people who are at the top of their game, ball players(fb/bb/bb) actors/actresses, computer programmers,stockbrokers,lawyers,entepeneurs, the list ...

ROTFLMAO

Well folks, thanks for the input, but I am pretty well decided the Exocet is the way to go for now.Also, I was thinking today that if (read when)I get another crossbow, I will still have the Vixen as an option for a target and hunting bow!!! lol
Thanks, John

Hi Folks Did my taxes up today and I have 1 big problem.I'm leaning towards the Exocet 200, but am still undecided if the Phoenix is going to be enough bow for what I'm going to be using it for. I will be almost exclusively using it for deer, although the turkey season might find me hugging an oak t...
