O/T: Good advice and funny

I apologize for posting something so very off topic but with cabin fever from two different causes I think we can all use a good laugh. This is advice we all agree with and I found it very funny. Warning - it includes profanity

O/T Weather

It's 70F. as I type this, but that's indoors. Outside it's 2F. and snowing hard, with 6" - 10" forecast. I've never seen it snow this hard when it's this cold. It looks like most of the country is in the same boat. This can't be good for wildlife as this is the time of winter when food is ...

Re: Time marches on.....

I have two sons and neither of them likes to hunt much (though they both love venison). My youngest son's fiance (who is a Ferguson police officer- yes, "that" Ferguson) told me she wants to hunt deer next year both with a crossbow and a rifle. I told her the first thing we have to do is ...

Re: Last Year Making Strings!

I have a couple of your strings and I got one for a friend who has an excal bow. He finally killed his first deer with a crossbow last year using your string. Your strings sent a couple of arrows through deer for me last season. Good luck hunting and fishing and keep posting!

Re: Here Piggy Piggy!!

It's illegal to hunt wild hogs on public land in Missouri. The Conservation Commission says hunting is disruptive to their efforts to trap large groups of hogs. Our wild hogs are mostly in the southern part of the state (thank you Arkansas) and since I do my hunting in NE Missouri, I've never seen o...

Re: Anybody use one a deese

I was looking around for something similar myself. My favorite spot has a hang on stand and I have an old API shooting rail that I installed on it that has been there for more than a decade. The padding is in need of replacement, but it still functions perfectly. It's similar to this one... https:/...

Re: Anybody use one a deese

It would be totally useless to me. I keep my hands on my bow (in one way or another) at all times. I want to keep movement to a minimum in case a deer or turkey shows up by surprise.

Re: O/T good bye my friend

I feel for you. The only real problem with dogs is that they don't live long enough. Even when they live a normal life span they break your heart every 12 years. Catch your breath and go get a puppy!

AJ, I officially am calling you my man crush (although I do still identify as a manly man). Well said.
Still too gay for me!

Re: OT (bug out bag)

Just curious....what makes you think we will have a few years of peace? I was referring to ammunition run induced shortages when I used the phrase a few years of peace (which was a poor way to say it). As far as national turmoil goes, there will always be something simmering or boiling over. Expect...

Re: OT (bug out bag)

I live in the suburbs of a large city and I have a locker full of guns, including a handgun with a holster. All of my firearms remain unloaded and in the locker. If I felt any realistic threat I would take the plug out of an Ithaca pump that I have then load it up with 5 rounds and keep it handy. I ...

Re: excalibur expandable broadheads

Can't speak for the trailblazer but the xact is a great solid well-built broadhead that doesn't open in flight l believe l have killed about 10 deer and a few turkeys with them always did their job. I enjoyed success with the swat this year but l still think they are definitely one of the best out ...
