It is unfortunate that most broadhead manufacturers only make stainless steel blades anymore. I have lost arrows and bolts in fields before and have found a few that others had lost. A carbon steel blade will rust away fairly quckly and render the lost head much less of a threat to tires people or a...

At this time of year the deer become less active. Deer do not eat as much and will travel less distance if possible. During cold weather they will eat at noon or a bit after. This is because they do not like frozen food. At noon the sun warms the food up a bit and the deer prefer this. It can be ver...

Called this guy in from 200 yards away on Nov 4 / 05. Double lung at 9 yards. He ran 220 yards. The interesting thing is the evidence of a bolt or arrow that had passed completely through the deers chest in a previous year. Blades must have been dull or something because it should have hit some lung...

High Country has had a vert bow shooting at 400 fps for quite a while. They take it to shows a bit. Draw weight is pretty stiff and the arrows are quite light, but the bow is capable of the speed. They are shooting out of warranty specs.

Remember that each ime you cut a muscle group or bone you allow another avenue for contamination. Use the paracord around the anus and windpipe / esophagusas suggested above. ( or a boot lace) Do as little cutting as possible and use your fingers to separate the connective tissue when possible. Most...

We have one bull tag for wmu 19 for three bow hunters. We need to get a fourth hunter lined up to help defray fuel costs.

Try to find a single phase motor of the same hp and go to it. A dryer outlet is 220 volt but is single phase, so don't take that route. One caveat is that a single phase motor will be larger in physical size than a 3 phase, so make sure it will fit before laying out the cash. Try a motor supply/repa...

There are many "wound'o'matic" hunters out there. Unfortunately many of these carry crossbows. This is because they are seen as the most accurate and easy to use. SOME of these less than serious hunters do go out and shoot at almost any deer in sight. They feel it is their right to get the...

Zyban Worked great for me 3 years ago.

Now I and the wife go to some place near the equator each winter for a week with the cash.
What is the better way to spend it?

These all look like excellent poaching tools. Maybe it is time to ban equipment that is designed for hunting well after legal hours.

Just because it is possible to hunt after dark does not make it right.

The risk of contracting a TSE disease from eating beef in Canada is almost zero. The risk is insignificant from deer as well, if the spinal cord, brain and ganglia are not consumed. My job is HACCP coordinator in a feed processing plant and part of my job is to assess risk and design and implement s...

KW Surplus in KW has them for about 30 bucks. The black is prone to smudge onto your clothes(at least that is on a sign in the store).
