Awesome opening day (9/29/07) in Ohio for me!

I got out into the field early and about 15 minutes into the season, a doe sneaking into where I'm sitting at the base of a tree. I spotted her at 25 yard walking straight toward me.

28 point doe?!?!

I don't know if this is a repost or not.

"A Missouri hunter has shot a 28-point deer that just happened to be a doe."

I picked up one of these this year. I have only used it on 1 deer and it worked well. http://ecksteinjr.com/pictures/hrev.jpg the saw sits inside the handle, and with the press of a lever you can rotate it around.

those WASPS really do sting!

I took my first deer ever on Saturday morning with an Excalibur Phoenix using the WASP Boss broadheads. This crossbow is awesome! one of the lungs was nearly cut in half. It was a 7 point buck. I'm so happy :) here are a couple of pictures. http://ecksteinjr.com/pictures/deer/deer1.jpg http://eckste...
