This spring I had a young buck come onto the property close to where I practice with some 3D targets. After waiting awhile to see if it would move on I decided to just walk over expecting it to leave. It didn't. So I proceeded to practice with my trusty phoenix. Every time I shot the deer would flin...

We've taken lots of deer with them up here in Northern Ontario. I've taken two with no problems whatsover. Must be something wrong with your arrows, your bow, or your shooting!

A memorable moment, a lasting memory. Congratulations & welcome to the forum.

I would like to see a Vixon III with a thumbhole stock! Any chance of that happening soon?

Just tuned in to this thread. Will help with prayers from the "near north" during this time of convalescence.

By the way isn't fishing just another form of hunting? Humans have used many of the same techniques: bow fishing, spearing, netting(trapping), even driving the fish into traps, weirs etc. Any others that I missed?

Got my best deer on a wild and woolly morning November 19, 2001. It was rifle season on Manitoulin Island. Usually it's like a war zone with constant gun fire. That morning the only shot I heard was mine. Maybe I was the only one to go out into the wind and the rain which turned into fog and drizzle...

Secret had a post on page 2 of the "trendy vanes" thread. He claimed that 4" duravanes were the best overall. I asked for his
experience to verify this but so far there have been no further posts.

Hey Secret:

What's your evidence that a 4" duravane works best? Please share your data-base so that everyone can learn from
your experience.

Bstout:

Thanks for the correction.
