I have had limited success rattling. I find the window of opportunity in my area is fairly short. Usually about 2-3 weeks around mid November. I have also only had smaller bucks respond. I have been using synthetic rattling horns but find them rather bulky and awkward to carry to the stand. Been thi...

Allowing local level politicians to make gun legislation decisions is very dangerous. If the current mayor of Toronto had his way, nobody in Toronto would be allowed to have a firearm in thier residence. He would like to see a central firearm respository where residents had to store thier firearms a...

That picture has been floating around the internet for some time. It looks real and I assume it is, but I also would assume that fawn is a full grown deer by now or maybe even dead of old age.

Bill, Thank you very much for the reply. Interestingly, I just talked to the guy who sold me the the bow this morning and he confirmed exactly what you are saying. Just to let you know this is my second Excaibur. The first one was an Exocet I purchased back in 1994. It has served me very well and I ...

I recently purchased a used Exomag. It's in excellent shape and I got a good deal. However, I was going to do some practice shooting with broadheads. I am using Thunderhead 125's on Gold Tip Laser 2 Bolts. However it does not look like I can shoot these broad heads from this bow. When I load the arr...

During the first 2 weeks, you are only allowed to purchase 1 additional tag. That is 1 in total, not 1 per WMU. After Aug. 20, for WMU's where tags are still available you can purchase a number of tags up to the limit per person for the WMU. For example WMU 67 allows up 6 tags per person while 69A o...

I just recently upgraded to an emag from an older carved tipped exocet (1994 vintage). The emag I bought originally had carved limbs when it was purchased but the former owner had changed over to mag tips. I managed to upgrade after selling mine for a net cost of $100. Realistically though, I probab...

I have to agree with everybody who mentioned follow through. For me whenever I make a bad shot, it can almost always be blamed on not following through. Now, whenever I see a deer approaching and I decide I am going to take a shot if/when it presents itself, I start repeating to myself in my mind, &...

I killed a bearded hen this spring. Saw the beard and mistook her for a Jake. There was heavy fog that morning so colours were hard to distinguish.

Hey guys, I just bought an EXOMAG from a buddy. For EXOMAG owners, what are your favourite setups in terms of bolt and broadhead combos. I prefer to shoot aluminum shafts but have not totally ruled out carbons. I also have shot Thunderhead 125's for years from my Exocet and have had good performance...

Deer are excellent swimmers. I don't want to be too critical because I don't know the whole story, but they probably would have been better off just leaving him alone.

I have a buddy who baits them. He goes around to butcher shops and gets meat scraps and bones. He's killed 18 in the last year and a half. The farmer who owns the property was regularly losing calves to yotes. Since my buddy started hunting them he hasn't lost any. The farmer is so happy, he now let...

Fishing is a great way to pass the time between hunting seasons. Those look like beauties. I was out myself on the weekend and caught a nice bunch of walleyes.

F150's are known for front end problems. Ball joints, tie rod ends, etc. If you find a truck you like, might be a good idea to have a mechanic take a quick look at the front end. On a good note I have a 2002 f150 4x4 with extended cab and short box. I bought it new in 2002 and have 92,000 km (55,000...
