Mark,
What bow is the stock for? If you don't mind me asking, what does one go for? Does it quiet the bow down? Sorry for the questions, but you caught my interest there. Very nice work. Butcher

I also agree, on the difference in taste, between say a 1-1/2 year old doe, verses a mature buck. In fact, if the season has been good to me, I will can or "cold pack" the usable meat of a buck, and grind what ever is not suitable for canning. Because I feel a young doe makes better all ro...

Grey Owl,,
It's a classic example of they don't taste like they smell. I ain't going no further on that...... Care of the game in the field, is everything in my opinion. I'm still learning though! Butcher

Chat room?

I know I'm new, and all, but I think we should have a Chat room. How do we go about getting one? I'm not very computer literate, and work turns. I'd love to be able to chat with hunter, who can't sleep. Any Ideas on how to get one? Butcher

Gary,
exactly how many crossbows do you have? Need? Your obsessed. I'm the same way about rifles in 250-3000 lol. You have to give the better 45% something to complain about I guess. Butcher

Well, If it means anything, I was told when I went mule deer hunting, I would not like the meat. Everyone said it would taste "sagey". It was the best deer I have ever eaten. When I went antelope hunting, Everyone said I would not like it, it would taste really really sagey. I love antelop...

Well Steelworker, I'm 43, and I just love Medal of Honor Frontline. I've played a lot of shoot em up games, and Frontline is my favorite. On the game, it shows how they made the game, (it took 5 years to make) all the research on the uniforms, weapons, locations, and they all look very real in the g...

Who makes the optics for Excalibur?

Any of you guys know who makes the optics for Excalibur? Or for Horton and the others? Looked through a Horton, and was very impressed. I don't know how the reticles yard lines would match up to my x bows velocity, but I did like the comactness of it. Digger, noticed since I've been on here, you giv...

Well heck TAC, Just spell it out, it is quite obvious who your talking about, ME. LOL That's fine, I respect your opinion. Or maybe I don't. I really don't know you well enough to just give you respect. I do know however, you can't talk to the anti's. All you can do is educate the ones who have not ...

Stump, Not trying to be a wise A$$, but the book was at a local library, not a school library. Had it been in school, I also agree, take a trip to the school. I also agree we need to ecucate all children. But in a puplic library, I'd do my part, and make the book disappear. It would be nice if you c...

Good luck Steelworker. It's been nasty here, and at the tail end of the season, I'm finding I may be a fair weather hunter. I wake up, let the dog out, and make my decision from there. Lately, with all the rain, it's hard to get in the mood. Hard rain and bloodtrails don't mix. Good luck again. Butc...

Reminds me of the Clevleland Amory days, "The Guns of Autumn" Guess who hosted that. Dan Rather. I'd like to clean his clock every time I see him on the tube. You ought to send a bag of jerky in for the kids. We had a "vegetarian" at work, (college summer help) who wore leather s...
