"Never argue with idiots. They'll bring you down to their level then beat you with experience!"

Several years ago on Thanksgiving we went to the inlaws for dinner. They are on the edge of the city and have those sneaky urban deer. I told my brother in law I was going out to scout for deer sign after we ate, and he said "Why bother...I can show you where the deer are bedded right now."...

Good shootin' young lady, savor the moment! I'm worried about you now, though. All those young guys you go to school with will be really intimidated by a girl with hunting prowess like you have.

Here in Illinois, all deer taken with firearms are weighed at check-in by the state. For deer taken with a bow, it is optional. The firearms check stations are temporary things set up only for the very short gun season and are manned by college students working on a temp basis for the DNR. Check in ...

Good read, Woody. There was a giant deer here in N.America at one time called the Irish Elk. I think this is the same critter your article is calling the Eurasian giant deer. They found lots of these skeletons in Irish peat bogs which is where the name came from. It is a deer though, not an elk. A g...

Shakky, here is a suggestion that you can try. When the deer approaches your shooting lane, judge its speed and yell loudly to make it stop in the lane. Yell "HEY!" or "STOP!", and it will stop, but only for a moment. That is when you shoot. And of course it must be in range. Unl...

I just checked the auction. It's sold for...
US $475.51 (Approximately C $600.55)

I'll try that again, logged in. Sorry! Gosh, you would have to ask. The day before opening day, (Sept 30) I twisted my knee pretty good. Opening morning, I struggled to get to my closest stand, near the back of my property. After and hour in the tree, I couldn't take the pain anymore and had to come...

This is my best...137 0/8 with my Exocet.

A dozen years ago, Illinois passed a law protecting "all white deer". No mention of "pie-bald" or "albino" in the wording of the law. About 4 years ago, an archer arrowed a really nice buck on private ground that bordered a recreation area full of horse trails, and whic...

When I was a kid my dad had a big steel desk in the basement that came out of the GE plant where he worked. If you locked the desk drawer, all the other drawers locked as well. My younger brother was determined to break into the desk. He ended up doing it with a thin piece of brass shim stock. He cu...

Really? I've never had any lucik with the four blades. Our local bow shop stoped carrying all of them as no one else around here liked them either. I'll have to look for some.

Back in the early 70's, a good friend of mines little brother got him a permit and went bowhuting. Our deer herd was just geting going about then, and few poeple had even started hunting them...not like now, anyway. He had some sort of old self bow, and a total of 3 arrows. Up a tree in the evening ...

I had a lab that passed away a year ago. Her name was jose'. She was trained to track wounded deer quite by accident. At our hunting camp, we had a backhoe dig a hole about a hundred yards behing the camp and we dumped deer carcasses in it. Well one day about 6 years ago I killed a deer and stopped...

Mark, I admire you for all the work you put into shaping and finishing those chunks of wood, vs. finishing an inletted stock. I always did pre-inletted jobs and never tackled one like you, other than some pistol grips or something small. One thing I did tackle though, was cutting my own walnut trees...
