My Shotgun Buck

Late season shotgun hunt in Norwich. The week started slow as we had a lot of rain on Monday and Tuesday. Our group only managed a small button buck over the first three days. Finally our luck started to change on Thursday. We had a young man with us who had just returned from Afganistan and had nev...

Re: c2 crank for crossbow

I only have the use of my left hand. Unfortunately the Crank-a-roo only has the crank on the right side but when I use mine, I just turn the bow around and crank backwards. It felt awkward at first but it will soon be second nature.

Bow hunting is pretty much a guarantee in Southern Ontario. I have never missed getting an antlerless tag for bow season.

Re: bill.t question

I'm not sure about a favorite but there has been 4 models of the 175 lb bow, three of which are currently in production. I would have to say the people at Excalibur believe in that poundage bow.

Exocet 175
Phoenix
Ibex
Axiom.

Drought is over!

After 8 long years, I finally put another arrow through a deer. Not quite as long as the 16 year gap between deer number one and two. Anyway if I I keep up at this rate, I will be getting one a day by the time I turn 80. Got out to the stand at 6 am this morning and was quite comfortable, wind could...

I just can't help but think that would be a lot of work for a guy with one hand.
