Re: if deer could fly we would be doing really well
Nothing like a good goose shoot!
Can you let us know what the bands tell you? Years ago I was picked to sumbit samples of a wing to Ottawa. They would send back info about species, age etc.
The geese are late moving south this year, lots of crops still out in the fields and warm weather.

Re: Back from VA.

Many years ago I was surveying in Southern Alberta, one fellow from a drilling crew got bit by a rattler, He had a swollen leg for a few days. The ...

Were is the USB port?
I lick a 9 volt battery before hunting.
And those pesky metal fillings in my mouth, but it's nice to have a radio every where I go!!

Re: Tracking
I and Buddies have tracked deer hit with a 7mm Mag. 2 miles and never did find him. It was a big long trail of blood over snow, 4 of us at least 4 hours.
This year is the first with a CB. I pass no judgment, but will sure consider what I have read here.

Great Pics. Were in Sask was this?
My Uncle raises Semmital cattle. They are big and the bulls mean as hell.
That is way to interesting. Many farmers have an Alpaca for coyote control.

Re: Hunting trip ruined because of shattered limb...
Lupien That just blows!! From my experiance of composite plastics. ( not cross bows) The fracture looks like a the outside of the limb may have been scored or slammed in a car door ,(which i doubt).
