I'm interested. I'm in Kingston in the west end near the Collins Bay area.

I know what you mean. I bought some videos off ebay recently. They were done in Texas by a group called Indian Outfitters. I saw a number of shot placements where I thought the arrow hit either too high or to far back, but yet resulted in the deer going down within sight of the camera. I couldn't he...

I'm not so sure I agree with the majority here. I bow hunt and turkey hunt on the same property. In the fall when bow hunting from portable stands, I frequently have large groups of turkeys within 10 yds of my stand. Many times they do see me when they get that close, but so what. If I was actually ...

Dead_Eye,
I have that exact gun. I love it. I've taken 5 turkeys with 5 shots with it, between 15 and 30 yds. Only thing, I would like a longer barrel for waterfowl. Keep promissing to but myself a 26 or 28 barrel. I paid 449.00 5 years ago, so your price seems pretty good.

Hey DSR, I see you are from around Loyalist country. I have a spot to hunt turkeys in the Hay Bay area. I took a bird from there last year, but have not been out to scout yet this year yet. Did you see those turkeys anywhere near there?

Hey guys, are we saying that xbow is an antique. I have an Exocet that I purchased new in '94. Still shoots great. I killed 3 does with it this year. But if I can get a grand for it, I'll part with it in a second and upgrade

Man I hope Quinte doesn't go down hill. Maybe they overprice their stuff, but at least they have stuff in stock. In South Eastern Ontario we are way underserviced as far as these hunting and fishing stores go. In Kingston, we basically have CTC and Wall Mart. Some things you just can't get there. An...

I know attempts by Ontario to transplant turkeys in the Sudbury area have not been very successful. Some have survived, but I don't believe the population has expanded like it has further south. I asume it is because of the more severe winters. Sudbury is outside the historic range of turkeys in Ont...

Congrats. I too was lucky on the second last day of the season. Myself and two buddies hit my spot on Wolfe Island. Between the 3 of us we saw 46 deer between 7 am and a 11 am and they were still moving when we we got down from our stands for the day. Despite seeing that many deer I was the only one...

I've been using a red dot on my Exocet for about 7 years. I had to pass on a couple of deer in low light conditions this year because I couldn't see them through my red dot. I think I'm going to buy a Drop Zone scope.

I had the same thing happen a few years back. It also happend with a smaller buck. To be sure I phone the MNR and spoke with the local biologist. He indicated that this is quite comman with younger bucks later in the fall. He said that they will actually begin rutting activity in Sept and carry thro...

I've been out 4 times this far so year. The only deer that I've seen was a small 5 pointer on opening day, that I passed on because he was 30 yds in fading day light (still legal shooting time). He proceeded to walk over to my brother and gave him a 25 yd broad side shot which he made good on. My bo...

The forecast for Cochrane shows low temps getting down close to freezing. Hopefully this activates the rut. I've been practicing my calling and, I think it's sounding pretty good. I bougt an Owen Scott video(former world champion moose caller) and have watched it several times through. I think I'm s...

On the road tomorrow about 6 am, bound for Cochrane. Spend Thursday night in Cochrane. Fly in Friday morning to an outpost camp. Start hunting Saturday. This is a gun hunt, not archery. This is my ninth moose hunting trip in the 20 years. We've been successful on most of my trips, but I've never bee...
