Re: O.T. take my hand

We can not control your grief. Only offer condolences. For all our passion of the outdoors I doubt few would not give up a year of hunting if it gave you any solace, just because you know what that means as a sportsperson... Trusting what is beyond can be hardest when we need to the most. Hang in th...

Re: First Hunt for Me - Successful

Hey! Looks like you get along just fine with that bow.
Nice shot on your fallow deer. Congrats.
I hold my bow up with a monopod usually.

Re: Thoughts on this injury?

I've seen a buck when a fight breaks,(when one of them turns to run) try to gore the hind quarter of the other. Some bucks show long scars there too. If you watch long fights on video watch for the break apart at the end and now and then you'll see that last attempt to get a hit on the buck trying t...

Re: Thinking about a crossbow have a few questions

A string aid /rope allows adding twists to maintain brace height.

It reads like you will get along real well with an Excalibur and see many years out of a Vixen should you choose to do so.

Re: Thermal Cameras For Tracking ?????

I'd go with a tracking dog before a gadget. However they make units for hunting.. http://www.sportsmansguide.com/product/index/flir-scout-ps24-handheld-thermal-imaging-monocular?a=1333003&pm2d=CSE-SPG-15-PLA&utm_medium=PLA&utm_source=Google&utm_campaign=CI&ci_src=17588969&ci_...

Re: First crossbow deer need help

Nice buck! Great dog. Should you ever breed that hound...research natural bob tails and bloodlines. With my breed(non Catahoula) it's a no no to breed with another natural bob... to avoid serious defects. Pretty sure that's the deal. My stud has never been bred to a natural bob like himself, so that...

Re: Ever been tempted?

Resist temptation! Do be sure to use an arrow that you don't have any others matching.... Maybe write property of Sheriff Wilson, or maybe F.D.A. or E.P.A. on it too. A ghilly suit for a slow crawl recovery. Perhaps an astro turf carpeted wheeled dolly and another piece of astro turf with some plast...
