I could not find anyone from MSM reporting on this, they're going to try to blame Trump! :eusa-deadhorse:
Isn't ABC news part of the mainstream media?

O/T - Warm December

I just looked at the December calendar at a weather site and noticed that the daily high temperature this month at my suburban home (actual and projected for next week) will have exceeded 60F 16 times! We've had a few mornings in the teens, but this is December, when we expect cold mornings all mont...

Re: My Micro lags behind my Matrix a lot

I hunted 4 years with my Axiom using Zombies and 125 and 150 gr slick tricks (one deer with 150 gr. boltcutters and the original arrows). That bow is rated 35 fps slower than your 340. I had six kills, all pass throughs with the arrow sticking in the ground on the other side of where the deer stood....

Re: Crazy Crossbow speeds

Why wouldn't a 500 ft/sc crossbow be much more capable of extending the ethical range of a crossbow. Most of us limit our shots to 35 - 40 yards with our Excaliburs. It seems that an arrow would hit at 55 or 60 yards at about the same time with the faster bow as it would at 40 yards with my 350. A ...

Re: Crazy Crossbow speeds

I'm in favor of advancing and making things better but there is a cost. Crossbow, longbow and muzzle loader hunters used to have a certain charm about them because they used more primitive weapons and were perceived to be more skillful. That charm is disappearing with technological advances. Someday...

Re: Is it my imagination

I noticed the lack of posts also. This hasn't been a great season for me, but I won't blame the weather (though the weather hasn't been good). Our season opened 9/15 and when I hunted early it was hot, but I saw deer every time I went out. I passed on a fawn that still had spots and could have shot ...
