Re: Gator Hunt Update

My gator had a black cat in its stomach! I had one heck of an exciting hunt! My float bounced off the deck and wrapped around my reel handle and it about pulled me and my Excalibur into the drink! It jerked the whole front of the boat around and the two guys in the back who'd never gator hunted frea...

Re: Gator Hunt Update

Very carefully, the skin is almost fused to the carcass. You cut two rows of scutes on each side and leave the belly scales intact for a rug.

Re: Gator Hunt Update

I took him 09/26/10 around 4:30 A.M. I took several shots the day before, but I kept getting knots in my line leaving the retriever bottle and it stooped my arrows short. Earlier on the twenty-fifth, I shot a 12-plus footer in the head and it bounced off!

I am home and managed to bag a 9 foot gator. I have had 2.5 hours sleep in the last two days. I'll post details and pics later.

Re: Easton Power Bolts

Thanks! I barely noticed the damage at first. From all the years of archery I'm used to shaft-slapping. There was always the torn fletching or tell-tale broken nock or "Robin Hoods" from time to time. I almost missed the chipped flat nocks and splintering on the ends of the shafts on my cr...

1st Year Strictly Horizontal

I wonder how many zealots will pin my photo on the wall and through darts at it!!! LOL! What children! I am looking forward to hunting this season (I started two weeks ago) and promoting crossbow hunting.

Re: Easton Power Bolts

Oh, OK. I was assuming my Max-Zone scope was graduated based on a 350 grn arrow at 330 fps out of my Exomag. It groups deadly with and arrows at 435 grns out to 40 yards. I don't want to shoot at game out past 35 anyway. I just noticed my broadheads fall about two inches at forty. I sometimes get to...

Re: Wyvern String Question

Cool! I got a RED/Black sting and it looks wicked on my ExoMag. Gator hunting tomorrow, so I'll change it back with my flemish and fiddle with it next week.

How do you like yours?
