I was out rabbit hunting on boxing day and two minutes after sighting in with seven shots into a stump, I see a yote running right at me. He was about 70 yrds or so and stopped, I took a shot at him with the .22 magnum. He was facing me I aimed for the centre of his chest. He jumped and ran off, I t...

Get them from the factory. Go to the website and get the order form and fax it to them. I have talked to them directly and there are all great guys.

We skinned mine right away with the ATV and winch. It came off like an orange peel. I find it tastes better if skinned and deboned right away.

I used a bail of straw and it worked fine for about 50 shots then it got a little lose. I used mech braodheads the last few shots they ripped it up pretty good.
Now I was shotting at it length wise and never had a bolt go through completely.

Some friends of mine use an old ice hunt and fill the bottom with snow from the local hockey rink when temps are above 5 C
I don't think hanging them does anything. Beef is different and needs to be hung for a few weeks but the musle and fat is different.

One of our guys had to hit his deer 3 times within 20yrds with buckshot and it kept getting up. Some of the shots just made it under the hide and stopped. I shot mine at 20yrds with a federal 1 1/4oz slug and he made it about twenty feet. And it mushroomed well and retained alot of weight. I would n...
