Is it just me????

Man, I haven't even seen a deer yet!!! Saw an F...ING black coyote tonight and it sounded like some dillheads talking in the bush a couple hundred yards away from my property until 6:30 tonight.

Something has changed drastically on my farm and it is making me insane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If this isn't a post that proves that you should always point a firearm/bow/crossbow away from people and property, I don't know what is.

I bet Excal will fix it right up for ya.

Keep playing safe folks!

I have seen many people try and guess what kind of shot was made based on the animals reaction. Some claim mule kicks are heart shots etc... Not sure that deer know there is a script. I once had a deers front legs collapse and never did get that deer. Judging by the blood in the beds, I hit it back ...

After having my nose painted blue in college (yes, alcohol was involved), I took the painters underwear, dipped them all in apple juice and put them in his freezer.

Deer season is just around the corner and the thought of having to be in a classroom instead of the woods would bring me to tears.

You will never make everyone happy. This I know, I am married :wink:

I think crossbows only on the crossbow forum makes sense. This gives people incentive to take great pictures of crossbow harvests.

Good choice Chris!

I agree that it should be a crossbow picture. Excalibur is very very tolerant regarding this forum. they allow the sale of second hand items inclduing crossbows that could cut into their sales. They also don't chase away people who shoot other brands of bows. (I guess when you the king, it's easy no...

Don't sweat it! Put the stand on your back, fanny pack in front and bow in your hand or over your shoulder. I use the API grandslam extreme which is twice the size of the LW and it takes nothing to get in and out of the hotspots. What it does do is allow you to ambush them. I shot my buck last year ...

The best way to know what works for you is to have a look at it in real life and try as many different sights as you can. Here is some food for thought. In my case, I like to have my peep just slightly larger than my (round) pin housing. The reason for this is it quickly lines up my sight picture an...
