Re: VIXENMASTER'S WIFE PASSED AWAY!

So sorry to hear about your loss. You're in my thoughts and I wish you well.

On far less important note, I hope you get straightened out with posting on this forum. I miss reading your posts and look forward to seeing them again.

Re: Last minute doe

Way to hang in there and come through at the last minute! I'll repeat: "every deer is a trophy". I too switched to Xacts from fixed blades a few years ago and I am pleased with them. I use the heavier than Firebolts Black Eagle Zombies and Executioners and have no trouble getting pass thro...

Re: OT: CBC Anti Hunting Article

I didn't invent the food chain but I'm happy to be at the top of it. Animals don't die of old age if we leave them alone. They die of starvation, disease or from attacks from other predators. The deer that became the meat in my freezer were born free and lived their entire lives free. They converted...

Re: Going out hunting this afternoon.

It's been warm here too. My freezer is pretty full from the 2 deer I killed during rifle season, but I still have 3 archery tags (one any deer and two antlerless) tags left. I have a buddy who has gotten skunked so far this year and I have a son who loves venison and has freezer space (I've already ...

There is no wrong buck as long as it is legal. Congrats to your Dad!

Re: Fun season so far but no big buck yet

I get one archery buck tag and one firearms buck tag plus 3 firearms doe tags and 2 archery doe tags (all free as a landowner with 75 or more acres). I don't pass on anything legal (4pts on one side or antlerless) with my crossbow and I'll shoot any legal buck during firearms season. My needs are me...

Re: Slow Season

I hope you get some decent weather for a late season hunt. Your weather is probably a lot like ours. December and January are mostly cold but we usually get a few nice days. The good part is the sun comes up later and you don't have to get up as early. Good luck!

I wish I'd gotten him with an Excal'

This year it's been difficult for me to get a legal deer (4 pts on one side or antlerless) into range of my crossbow. I could have killed several smaller bucks that I couldn't be sure were legal and the does seem pretty scarce. Firearms season opened last Saturday, and I shot a nice fat doe that mor...
