Re: Management Doesn't Care

If you want to interact with Excalibur through social media they have a Facebook page with 31,000 members. They keep it up to date with product offerings and it allows you to interact on line directly with them. If you want to interact with other Excalibur owners and talk gear there is another page ...

Re: I Guess This Forum Has........

"All things must pass". So be it with this site. I suppose the time has come to put it to rest. The SHAMEFUL thing is it doesn't have to be that way. I suspect the highers ups no longer give a $hit, and thus they let this fine forum fall apart. Beyond SHAMEFUL when the fix could be made s...

Re: I Guess This Forum Has........

I'm sure Excalibur will be fine. Social media has shifted away from these bulletin board style groups. There are a couple of different Excal groups on Facebook that are quite active. Excalibur Owners Group has 17,000 members and lots of daily traffic. That's where folks are "hanging out" t...

Re: forum what's wrong

This old, outdated, antiquated format needs to be dropped completely and a whole new format brought in. Until this happens, this will continue. I guess the "Powers that Be" want everyone to go somewhere else. Which in my opinion, is an absolute shame. A lot of the folks that were once on ...

Re: Test 123

The software for this forum is very old and outdated. Expect more of the same unless Excal decides to invest in a new, more modern program.

Re: BIGGEST FAUX PAU On opening day

It wasn't opening day but it did happen when I was turkey hunting with a former member here. As we were about to head out in to the field he decided to change jackets. He placed his shotgun back in the car while he changed then we head out. As we were walking along the field edge I asked him if he p...

Re: CBSA Enforcing Folding Knife Ban

This is nothing new. The whole issue regarding "centrifugal" knives started with a Canadian International Trade Tribunal decision back in 2018. There was a third party challenge forcing the CBSA to define what a centrifugal knife is and this was the result (lesson learned? Be careful what ...

Re: The sky is not falling

What's with all the negativity? I find my life is much better thinking in a positive manner and with an open mind. Too many years of working for large corporations has definitely made me cynical. I worked for General Electric for 17 years. When they first bought us I was in a meeting with some high...

Re: Pelee Island in Lake Erie

Yup, that was probably RJ. He's not on the forum anymore but I'm still in touch with him regularly. You're not going to have much luck contacting him now as he's up in the Yukon for several months living the dream and has sporadic internet access.

You learn a lot more about hunting from the ones you don't get than the ones you do.

Re: Thinking about buying a smoker

I use a Bradley. It uses the pucks via an auto feeder, pretty much set it and forget it. Also have a 4 channel temperature monitor that I can tie into with my phone via bluetooth. No more running outside to check cabinet and meat temperatures.
