I have problems with the search on this forum. I get a list but everytime I read a thread I can not back up to the list again. Do you have this trouble? Here's a little trick this is happening. When you do your search and decide you want to read a thread just "right click" on it and then ...

And there's a few of us women in the woods...! Great deer - what a great colour - looks like all the deer that are sneaking around here after dark... LOL

I think I'm going to cheat this year. Gonna use my 12 gauge single shot. Tye - Shotgun isn't cheating - knocking them dead "clean" is what counts! I just have an itch to try them with a xbow - might end up taking one with each this year. (fingers crossed) Cheating? Hardly. I have to say t...

This is the story of an attack that happened to an aquaintance of mine in the Temagami area of Ontario:

Growing up out in Alberta I learned to respect bears. I would never trust them even if "most" will run from you. If I'm not hunting (carrying a gun, that is) I carry a large can of bear spray (pepper spray). It's a proven defense if you get into trouble - sometimes better than using a gun....

Does this mean that GaryL has to stop picking on me?

Nightmares never leave A.W. so the answer is NO

ROFLOL!!!

A farmer (or feed supply store) could provide an empty feed sack and used skid wrap works well as stuffing. (Wouldn't use this for broadheads of course!) My wonderful husband bought me a "Block" as a birthday present last year - I love it! Now I wish I had a big garage or basement to set u...

Depending on the day, my husband, toddler and I will be there too. (Yup - we're bringing one younger than Tye! LOL) Little guy will soon be 2 yrs old. He loves camo, the retriever trials and knows his ducks from his geese. He also knows moose from deer from elk as well as gun from bow. Looking forwa...

Just bought a $5 light at Giant Tiger that has 12 (!) LEDs and is much more effective than my $20 LED flashlight from CT. Haven't used it for hunting yet though.

I use regular Ban unscented antiperspirant. I use baking soda for some of the washing (hunter specialties soap as well). I also brush my teeth and rinse with baking soda. I hang my clothes outside on the line to dry and leave them for days (including socks and underwear). My boots usually stay on th...

This is a little O/T but if you have a long link that gets "broken up" (wraps) in the post, copy and paste it on this site first. It will give you a very short link that will work just as the long one. http://tinyurl.com/ I use this often - it's great for posting longer links to forums.

Nice deer! (My toddler just looked at the pictures with me and said "deer sleeping" LOL)

Wow - you've still got a lot of leaves and colour! And did I see shorts? We're having an exceptionally mild winter here but not nearly as warm as you have it!

Congrats on the deer!

Hey Grizzly! This is exactly what I've learned in the past few years of hunting. I used to feel like I needed to cover every inch of the territory to find the best possible spot. I always second-guessed my choice of location thinking I should be somewhere else/better. Now I've learned to leave most ...

What a sad & tragic accident! So sorry to read about the autopsy findings as well. One can never be "paranoid" enough about safety when dealing with a deadly weapon. Thanks to a tip from someone on this board I've started using a rubber band around the stock to secure the safety on my ...
