Depends on what you want. In southern Ontario and in some locations in Northern Ont. we have good numbers of whitetails with some very good bucks. Ontario is not as well known for trophy bucks, but I think that is changing. I know Ontario, allows xbows, but I'm not sure about the other provinces. Al...

I hope they are because they usually publish the number of tags they are giving out, as well. I've heard they are increasing the number of additional tags significantly in the WMU's out of the Kingston office.

I haven't hunted moose for several years now. My last trip was a fly in. No one in thr group even saw a moose. The fishing was good, but a fishing trip would have been much cheaper. With all the deer tags we can get now and the occaional goose hunt, I seldom venture far from home to hunt. Don't get ...

The times they are a changin'. The latest issue of Deer & Deer Hunting (aug 06) has an article that's very pro-xbow. It puts to rest a lot of the myths about xbows. I bet 5 years ago that same magaizine would not have been pro-xbow.

I shoot an older Exocet (1994 model). The recommended setup back then was 2117 shafts with 125 gr. broadheads. That is what I still shoot.

Heard they were considering changes but didn't know the details. I guess that wouldn't stop you from hunting over natural food sources, like agricultural fields.

These were taken with a shotgun not with the xbow, but thought people might like to see them anyway

Keep in mind turkey's often feed in the same corn and grain stuble fields that geese and puddle ducks do. I would think there is certainly potential for turkey's to become infected. As for coyotes and deer. I've never really heard if there is potnetial for those speices to become infected, but I gue...

Hey I have one of those old carved limb Exocets that I bought brand new in 1994. Its the only bow I have still. I have killed more than 30 whitetails with it. I used to have a red dot on it but I changed to a drop zone scope this year because I had to pass on a couple of chances in low light conditi...

This is very bad news and very scary. This could well end deer hunting in North America as we now know it. In future I could see governments having to higher sharp shooters to cull deer heards, because there are no longer enough hunters around willing to take the risk of killing and consuming veniso...

I've also seen reports that West Virginia now as confirmed cases, as well. Good news so far here in Ontario. It looks like our MNR has not encountered any positive cases so far after testing over 700 samples across southern Ontario from this fall's hunt.

That really depends on where you are planning to hunt. Canada is large country with 10 provinces and 2 territorries. Each has its own set of fish and game laws. Suffice to say here in Ontario, crossbows are accepted as an archery weapon for any archery season in the province. So during the bear acrh...

Got One

Got my first of the season yesterday morning at about 9:15. He decided to wander in to eat a few apples from under the tree in front of my stand. I waited for a broad side shot. Got my shot at 15-20 yds. He ran about 60yds total before I watched him go down. I waited 1/2 hour before approaching. It ...
