Re: Foamin at da mouth
I saw a doe that looked the same way 2 years ago. Seemed like a reaction to what she was eating.

Re: ATTN: Old stubborn men on this site!
I hunted over 55 years and probably used a harness 3 times now I'm sitting here with cracked ribs and 3 broken vertebrae on opening day. Stand was strapped chained and lag bolted to tree. Dropped out from under me like a trap door after I sat there for a half hour. Go the safe route. I'm lucky I can...

Re: Rage hypodermic nc and rage crossbow x in 125 grain
I shot a doe with the 150 hypo last year, amazing blood trail. One blade hit a rib and broke. Entry and exit wounds were huge.

Several years ago I ordered a bow on line which they said would arrive in a week. After waiting over a month I canceled payment. The next day USPS delivered the package

Re: How often do you practice?
I mainly shoot to confirm that everything is functioning correctly and scope is dead on. My excalibur is a killing machine but I still love the sight of a homemade wooden bow and arrow with my own flint knapped arrowhead hitting the mark. Still dream of living in primitive times and what it took to ...

Re: Broadhead selection
I used the boltcutters with good results and tried rage trypan 150 gr. Last year keeping with the heavier foc entry and exit wounds were huge I could have followed blood trail with my eyes closed. 1 blade did break from hitting bone.

Re: Vortex crossfire II crossbow scope initial impressions
Lowest setting is 275. If you can't see the kill zone at 3 power he's too far away. Scope is very clear.

Re: Scary hunting happenings
Took a picture of it speared on my arrow but lost it when my phone died. Left it at the creek. Didn't want to make the wife jealous, huge chest.

Re: Scary hunting happenings
While bowfishing one day I saw a naked woman submerged in the water. My heart skipped a beat but when I got closer I realized it was a blowup doll.

Re: Vortex crossfire II crossbow scope initial impressions
Just installed my new crossfire and shot some bolts. Dead on right out of the box. Clear as a crystal. Looks like a winner. New boo string may be a contributor. Very pleased.
