I don't care how many times I've heard that one it still gets me laughing. Thanks for the laugh!!

Got any pictures???

One of my pet peeves are litterbugs. You should check out the WMA rifle ranges sometime. You will find busted glass leftover plinking targets and empties everywhere. Lazy slobs which have no respect or concern for anything shouldn't be allowed to be there in my opinion. If there is any justice they ...

Thats frightening but let it be a warning to us all. It only takes one wrong step to have an accident which could have deadly consequences. Thanks for the story & I hope your recovery is a quick one.

Well we all know that scent can make or break a hunting trip. Mixing some doe urine with doe in heat lure 1 part with 3 parts water. Mix this well before you gargle it for 1 minute.. DO NOT SWALLOW!!! I repeat DO NOT SWALLOW!! This may not attract any deer but it will sure keep everyone else away fr...

Just know that your friends here are thinking of you and if there is anything we can do just ask. He was lucky to have you for a friend and I'm glad for him that you went to check on him and found him. I hope he didn't suffer. If I could choose the time & place for my demise it would be in the w...

You did what the character Mel Gibson played in the movie "The Patriot". Aim small miss small. Another good shot by a good hunter.!

Any predator that can live off of deer is smart and to take one with a crossbow is an achievement I hope to attain someday. Well done my friend!!

500K is a lot of BUCKS!!! Not to mention hunting gear AND hunting trips.

Congratulations and proof again that patience & persistence pay off. Nice deer too. What was the estrous lure you had set out? It overcame all the other foreign odors. Enjoy those backstraps my friend.

Only deer I've ever had drop right then & there have been gun kills. All the deer I've taken with the bow & Xbow have traveled between 20-40 yards. I must not be doing something right.

Am I the only one who thinks about this when using the rope cocker? As I pull the rope towards my neck & face I think what might happen if the rope broke or the rope slipped through the handles, as I was pulling with both hands. Am I just being paranoid?

Now that is a fast hunt. I hunted today from 3 till almost dark (scouted earlier and found a good spot to try (public land). Almost dark and a 8 point walk out broadside and only 15-20 yards away. I was trying to get the scope on his heart but there was brush blocking the shot. I slowly started to s...

I very seldon do any shooting in my back yard but when I do its only a shot or two. I have a wooden privacy fence & besides my "block" backstop I have my Rubbermaid storeage shed "full" of my stuff. The loaded crossbow must always be pointed down or at the target only, at all...

Jeff, you sound like you are a great son in law!! Thats great to share the love of hunting & shooting with those nearest to you.
