-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- my first day in a tree stand with a crossbow.i have hunted 40 years with a bow.for you guys that think theres a advantage for the crossbow shooters,id say there are few.today i found it heavy,clumbsey,and just a pain in...

hoping to make my first ohio hunt in november,muskinggum county,i think.

when ohio rut,wont make it down till nov 15th

about the only time i get right down would be a a back leg hit,were you want to push the annimal to keep it bleeding,and hopefully will bleed out,or cant run any more.for my family of 6 hunters,waiting,and persisitance has paid of greatly. brother hit a buck,he thought was a good hit.it was liver,on...

do they have lenze covers to cut down on the glare,JIM

all you can do is give it your best,and move on.If the deer did not make it,it feeds many annimals in there own food chain,nothing gets waisted,JIM

this is the quote from that site You're in a blind or stand and the animal is in your strike zone. Don't shoot unless the animal is relaxed and either quartering away, or broadside. If the animal is not relaxed, you are more apt to get a string jump ( or duck is really what it is). Quartering away i...

you can put out all the corn here if it was still legal,and if acorns were droping they wont touch it.my borother baited with corn for years and with acorns dropping they wont touch it.but other wise its a great bait.

seeing how were starting to down a few deer lets discuss trailing and when.this is to help some hunters out theres is never a perfect answer ,but some possible guidelines. after the shot watch your game and what they do.did you see if the hit looked good??.did the deer stop,and walk off slow,tail do...

here in michigan we have baited for years,but not anymore. when you have good food sources,your baiting will not work much.we have little food sources,unless acorns are plenty,thats why baiting worked well.when guys are by farms,they very seldom bait.you cant get any better food.you could try some c...

web site varizone scope If the reticle is not sharply defined instantly, loosen the eye bell locking ring. Turn the eyepiece (either direction) a few turns. Quickly glance through the scope again. If the focus has improved, but is still not perfect, continue focusing. If the focus condition becomes ...

i think on my varizon,the ring locked,as shown on the web.i dont see the lumizone one doing that.ill mark the ring/body

im not with you on fixed blade heads,i will take a larger cut head,if its a good one any day on a marginal hit.any head in the goodies is a downed deer,but for marginal hits ill take a big cut head.i am bassing it on the last 50 whitetails we as a family have shot and recovered.including 4 gut shot ...

i just switched over from the varizone scope to lumizone about 3 weeks ago.had it in good focus,and tonight had to refocus it.wondering from shooting if it is turning.the focus ring dosent lock????
i thought my varizone focus ring locked down??

let us know how it works out,we have all done it,and sometimes there is no recover for what ever reason.i lost a buck last year as it went 400 yards on full run into small lake.looked 2 days and never found him.thought it was a good hit,shot with a compound.we went back two days looking for that buc...

its just like a compound bow.you can shoot 350 grains at 70lbs ibo.but to get the sweet spot between speed,vibration,sound ,and accuracy,most guys tweek there set up.they usually end up with a little heavier arrow that delivers a combination,and broadhead flight.most want maximum speed,but one that ...
