Re: 15 year old killed by another hunter

Is truly sad, Here in NC it is the same hunter orange during gun season unless you are landholder. With that being said i still wear orange because of nearby hunters on adjoining property. I have even gone as far as my deer drag (snow sled) Is blaze orange and if not using it i have actually been kn...

For example, Does you spouse know the exact location of all your hunting spots? .. Mine has google map with spots marked and GPS coordinates for each Do you notify someone as...

Re: tree stand question

I use an OSHA approved harness with a shock absorbing lanyard like for construction work, it has side d-rings that i keep an extra non-shock absorning lanyard attached to one side so that in case of fall i can hook one end on each side d-ring and quite literally stand in it. It is actually quite eas...

Re: Apoligee To Forum

I think it might have just been the fact it kinda hit a nerve on some ( me included) because of the abuse we take from vert bow hunter's in our areas. Despite the fact that i cannot physically hold a bow at full draw due to bad shoulder I am constantly looked down upon by them. Looking back I have t...

Re: R U a Good Hunter or need a Fast Bow

well some would say i am a horrible hunter, as rifle comes in next week and yes i am going rifle hunting. I am a hunter that provides meat for my family and a few others, hence why i got the excal for archery season to improve my chances. I have enjoyed bow hunting and have a couple of stands i plan...

Re: How do you deal with complete morons?????

This is exactly why i insist on paying my brother and his fiance a lease to hunt on their land (granted it is $1 a year with lifetime renewal rights with a few reasons for revocation), I have a legal document saying i am the only one that can hunt on that land (besides my brother of course). They ac...

Re: Buck Bomb

From what i understand the vanilla works great for black bear also

Re: Discuss......

Shoulder blades blocked the wounds, i have seen that in gunshots even. My brother shot one last year, right behind shoulder blade like that, absolutely no blood trail whatsoever, took 3 hours to find it 125 yards away straight line. when we open it up the lungs and heart were obliterated and the che...
