Re: The Barbary Sheep

I have football offers but I am shorter and lighter than they want and probably won't make it beyond college level. I think I want to be a Fireman, I like the schedule of a few 24-hour shifts and a few days off while helping people. I did apply to some fire academies. I also have an application for ...

Re: The Barbary Sheep

Apparently, the meat processor thinks this is a record book or medal qualifying ram. We are not sure how "crossbow" fits in. Most of the categories just say "archery". A Gold Medal ram is 130 and change and this one makes that, although it would have to dry for 30-days and be re-...

The Barbary Sheep

My Dad and brother officiated a wedding as the Pastor and assistant. In return the bride's parents gave us permission to hunt their ranch. They said it was "bigger than Rhode Island", and it might be since it is about 34-square miles. This a primarily a gas ranch with not much sign of huma...

Re: New TOTA 3 blade broadhead

, I expect to just re-sharpen it with my little diamond impregnated file and go hunting. [/quote] It's not that easy. I spent over 35 minutes on one blade sharpening it to "shaving sharp" and that was out of the package. After a kill, the edge was rolled and had a divot. I had to use a fil...

Re: Erratic BH flight between bows

Well, the M380 with the Quill just throws the bolts all over the place. At least with this BH on a BEZS it is always low/left. Going the other way, the BEZS out of the Mag340, it flies consistently, just hits a different spot than with the Quill. Spin test shows both set-ups are rotating true. I did...

Erratic BH flight between bows

This is weird to me but maybe there's an explanation or something that can be done about it. When I put a certain broadhead on a Quill and send it from the Mag340 it flies straight, consistent and accurately. Same broadhead on a BEZS out of the M380 throws it extremely low and left with a huge sprea...

Re: What the heck is wrong with people today?

Went to a public duck blind with friends that were first time duck hunters. Walked almost a mile in shallow water dragging decoys and carrying guns to get there. Set up and waited. Here comes a boat with 4 guys right after light. They cursed us out and shot one of our decoys. Then they put their boa...

Re: Blood trails

I like American Broadhead Company and killed all my deer for the past 10-years with their Sonic from my vertical bow. With the Excaliburs we use the same company's Bolt (in the M380) and Liberty (in the M340). None of them cut wide, the Sonic is under a 1" cut. The Bolt is 1.025 and the Liberty...

Anyone have some deer season left?

We're down to the last week here. It is called Special Late Season and you can only shoot a doe or buck with unbranched antler. I had an opportunity for a big buck but I passed in hopes of an even bigger one. My loss, I have not got a deer this year for the first time in 13-years when I started hunt...

Re: How do you keep your feet warm?

Man where we live, you just wear your sneakers instead of your flip-flops. The first month and a half of deer season has been 80 degrees plus. Down in high 60s- 70s now..... I only own two pairs of long pants!

My Dad shot the wrong deer

We've been watching our deer as usual and we pick and name the one's we're gonna take. We have a wide 10-pt called Elliott, and 7+ year-old 8-point called Pops and a tall, heavy but narrow 6-pt we call Barry. Well my Dad went with my exchange Bro to get a Thanksgiving weekend deer. There were a lot ...
