Re: Best Hog Shot

We shoot a couple dozen a year, our property is full of them. Excalibur or vertical bow, I put a sonic broad head in line with the back of the front leg and 1/3 to 1/2 into the body, depending on elevation I am at.

Great Birthday!

I've been wondering why my Dad hasn't been deer hunting much and hasn't got a deer yet. We got a power crank for him and he can get into our spot by himself. Today was my first chance to hunt. Dad told me that a certain buck had been showing up every morning and he was saving him for me! My 16th Bir...

Re: Need a better stool

Oh brother. When I read this I was excited to respond. I know too much about it from helping my Dad recover. Unfortunately I’m not going to be able to help you. I thought you were having trouble going to the bathroom. Lol

Re: What is the best ever made Excalibur-crossbow and why? (Your personal opinion.)

Our Matrix 380 has a lot of power, easy to use and has been trouble free for over 1000 bolts easy. It's not the smallest or lightest but it makes up for a little more bulk in simplicity, reliability, accuracy and power.

Re: Spypoint Users?

Update from my situation. I went 5-hours to our ranch and did everything Spypoint said. They "guaranteed" it would work. Well it didn't. Not being able to make too many more 5-hour trips for camera maintenance, I bought another one (same camera). Got someone to take it to the ranch for me....

Re: Common sense scents?

Ever Calm from Conquest Scents works. It is supposed to smell "like a deer bedding area". How they know that and make it I don't know. It comes in a stick so you can rub it on your shoes when you walk in, and rub it on a tree or something near your stand. Since its like wax it doesn't go a...

This is over the top...

We have a neighbor that is a tech junkie. He doesn't have much hunting experience and doesn't care for guns so we turned him on to crossbows last year. He has two kids that are I think 8 and 11 years old. Last year they would either shoot one time and get a deer or miss. Like usual, the deer would t...
