Thanks everyone for the advice. Oddly enough, I don't recall seeing many deer tracks nr the pines, except for some footy prints in a strip between the hayfield where I have my stand and the pines. I'd have thought it'd be excellent cover, but I mostly just see bunny tracks. I intend to observe it mo...

Nice mount! Just the other day while walking thru the woods , I was cursing the bolts as they fell out of my "stock" arrow rest. When can I get one of those babies? Interesting! May I make one suggestion? If you haven't already done so, patent that baby right away! Don't want someone stea...

How Would You Hunt This Property?

Hey all, Thought I'd solicit some advice as I think I might have judged the property poorly. You'll see from the pic, the pink shaded area that I'm allowed to hunt. I've built two stands as depicted. I took a doe from the field stand last year (saw nothing from the creek stand even though I'd previo...

to do mine on the ground... I think some have isues since their stands arent wide enough to place the bow down on. Most of mine are hang on's with big platforms so i have plenty open room to stand on the peg and draw it back if I needed. But I still cock mine before entering the woods though.. time...

Found it on Youtube

Someone over at the Ontario Hunting Lodge mentioned they saw it on Youtube. Sure enough, it's there now:

Deer processing

You will need an account there to state that you're old enough to watch this material. :roll:

I thought the limbs were the same across their crossbow line and it was the length of the main beam that determined the draw weight? What is the 'riser' and what would it have to do with draw weight? Sorry, I'm not more well versed in archery (specifically crossbow) terminology... I'll have to keep ...

Interesting... I've been wondering about this too and have a few additional questions on waxing... hope you don't mind continuing the discussion. Do you take the string off to wax it? do you wax the loops at the ends? Do you wax the entire string or just the "wound areas" (servings?) How o...

Took a little while to figure out how to "cocK" the 200 but now it's a breeze. I can't cock it by hand... tried and tried and just can't do it without causing a lot of pain in my back (I have no idea how the guy in the video does it). I gotta use the rope cocking aid which makes cocking a...
