You should always have your bow ready :lol: . When we went to our deer camp my dad used to tell me to take my gun everywhere, even to the outhouse. I never did, but I got the point. You never know when you'll see one. I saw a ten point buck last year in Toronto. There was a small field on one side o...

My dad used to have a gun cabinet that could be opened with just about anything flat and pointed. Knife, nail file, etc. I used to open it like that as a kid to get my BB gun. I later told my dad and he replaced the lock, not because he didn't trust me with guns, but to make it more difficult for th...

Richard S, I tried for 5 years to schedule Fridays off when I was at University. Never could do it :x. My roomates always managed to do it, but none of them were in Engineering. I guess the Engineering department just liked to work a full week. Oh well, if I had any more free time it would only be s...

Brampton Mike,

The store was Pro Gear in Hamilton. They've got a great selection of fishing/hunting gear and the staff really know their stuff. Like I said, this was the only problem I ever had with them. Guess I just missed the neon sign and flashing lights around the retun policy :wink: .

I have to agree here. I've killed all my deer so far during gun seasons and usually wearing orange coveralls. All my shots have been within 40 yards, two while walking to my stand. I do think that the advantage of camo is the breakup of the pattern. You're more likely to stand out if you have one so...

I hear ya bstout. That's how I handle my everyday encounters. It can be a little trying at times because I work in the construction industry and most people I deal with trust no one and don't think twice about telling you off. I just walk away from situations like that and tell them I'll be back whe...

Customer Service is Still Alive....Barely.

Phoned the manager of store "X" this morning and had a slightly heated debate over my recent puchase :evil: . I told him if the item was a few dollars higher, I wouldn't care, but it was 50% higher than at another store. He said their policy was returns get exchanged for store credit, and ...

Ticked Off!

I'm starting to think that I have no control over my own darn money :x! I'll keep it general and not name names. Bought a piece of archery gear yesterday from a shop that I give a lot of business to. I wasen't too keen on the price because I thought it was a little steep. I'd been having trouble loc...

We've got a confused little gal. She's a beagle/english setter mix. Howls like a beagle and points on squirrels and birds. Never hunted with her (wife's orders :oops: ).

wasp hammer sst????

anyone use these??? I can't seem to find any boss broadheads. All sold out this time of year, go figure. Would the hammer be ok for a carbon on an exocet. The only differnece I see is that they're a little larger. Gotta get back to the playstation and some brews. Opinions welcome. Thanks guys!!!

maple, I only ever had to track one deer in the dark. It was also in the rain. NOT AN EASY TASK!!!! I had a mag light, but the most important tool was my hand. Since it was raining, everything was wet, so I touched the leaves where there wasen't a stong blood trail. Just kept checking and drying my ...
