Maybe I have dumb deer here, but from day one deer been coming within 20 yards of my Ameristep Stackhouse blind. I close it up during day and open just the window I am using so excess light doesn't get in when using it. Deer just stand there eating corn and look at me with no alert whatsoever. Now t...

I just bought a Phoenix and I really don't think it is that much different than the Exocet which I had previously. Plenty of power and speed and a little smaller and lighter. I went to school in Ames, IA and worked on dairy farm there while going to undergrad at ISU. Go Cyclones

I may be wrong - deer may not mind the smoke, but one thing I know is that bear won't go anywhere near it. Yes I sure wish more people could quit just for a couple months so they can get an idea of how good they feel naturally. I have so much energy now and feel so good. I actually feel like I may l...

Quit smoking

I quit smoking in early June after doing it for almost 50 years. "What a difference"!!! After three months of not smoking now I can smell again. Gheesh when a smoker comes into my office it almost gags me. Last year I didn't see a bear on a bear hunt in Maine - this year I saw bear on day ...

I'm new here...

I've posted a couple times, but mainly just been reading and learning. I had an Exocet 200 I won at wild turkey banquet and like a fool I ended up selling it. Now have a new Phoenix and really like it. Am in SE Ohio and seeing deer every night from ground blind - but the right buck hasn't come in ye...

Shawn I am also in a wheelchair (not wheelchair bound or tied to a wheelchair but just use one) and I have an Excalibur Phoenix. I got the Phoenix since it has darn near as much power as the bigger ones but is a little shorter in the limbs and easier for a WC person to haul around and use. I have no...

I just recovered from my worst of worst! About 7 or 8 years ago I won an Exocet 200 at a Wild Turkey Banquet. Dan Miller from Horizontal Archery in Sardis OH just did a fantastic job of putting on a scope and quiver and also set it up with a CrankARoo since I am in a wheelchair and can't cock them u...
