Just go to the canadian tire website,do a product search for game cameras, and there will be a link on the right side to check inventory at stores in your area. I did this yesterday because I live about 40 minutes north of Edmonton. The closest store , in St.Albert, was out but it showed that the Sp...

A couple of months ago, I was going through the checkout at the grocery store and had a hunting magazine in with the groceries. The checkout girl said "You hunt? how can you shoot a cute little deer?" I said I'd rather shoot it and eat it than hit it with my truck and have it wasted. She s...

I have found that the serving is the weak point with my Exomax. After a day of trudging through the bush with it cocked, the serving is starting to seperate. I tried a Flemish string and it actually unravelled from the serving after about 20 shots so I went back to the factory strings. is it easy to...

Here in Alberta you can by that C'MERE Deer stuff Hank Parker sells and raves about but it is illegal to use. I saw it in Grande Prairie at Barton's, and just for the heck of it I asked a couple of employee's seperately. One told me it was illegal to use , the other said it wasn't. I checked the reg...

I use shake n bake and stick them in the oven just like chicken. There are some new crunchy flavors that are awesome. I did some grouse on Sunday in the ranch flavor and the wife didn't realize they weren't chicken.

That thing looks like it was put together backwards!Did you check the specs? It weighs 9.7 lbs!!!!
I don't think you could make an Exomax weigh that much even with a scope and rangefinder mounted on it.

That is really sad, unfortunately it is happening all too often. A couple of weeks ago a 60 year old man was hunting with his 81 year old father in law north of Westlock. They had split up and at some point the father in law saw movement at the bush edge and ended up killing his son in law. He was n...

I have a similar one made by a company called Allen. It is about half the price of the one on the link. I just spent 4 days walking around the forest and mountains around Cadomin, and was glad to have it. You can just let go and it carries well, with no hands. It is a bit cumbersome but really helps...

I'll have to try the puller. I was just worried that I could weaken or crack the arrows. The Block definitely stops the arrows well, better than anything else I've tried.

I bought one last week. It stopped the arrows at around midshaft. the only problem is getting the arrows out. I had to brace my foot against it to pull the arrows out. I have carbon arrows, I think an aluminum may have bent with the effort required to pull it out. Is there any lube you can use to ea...

I loaned my Sportsman that had only 300 km on it once. It came back with a bent front wheel, bent A frame, bent steering column, broken radiator,broken speedo, after only 15 minutes of riding. If the guy wouldn't have been in worse shape than the quad, I would have lost it on him. You should have se...
