Spring crossbow hunt
My Dad took my brother to San Marcos area for free range exotics. There are Axis and Blackbuck in the area. I tried to do the right thing and go support my friends on the school soccer team for the State Championship game. It’s the first time the team even made the playoffs. I’ve always wanted a bla...

Re: Adjustable Height Cheek Rest
I printed one 3D and put it on my Mag 340. Works great!

Re: Lethality comparison...4 blade 1&3/16 cut vs 3 blade 1&1/2 cut
For the same weight BH, I seem to get better penetration with a shorter, narrower one. Depending on what you’re shouting and where, that may be a consideration.

Re: What Is The Downside To Shooting A Heavy Arrow (600gr+) At Deer?
I used to change all different things about arrows that changed the weight. Mostly with my vertical bow but still weight differences of over 200 grains. What I learned was 2 things. There is no guarantee. I hit shoulder and there arrow shaft broke outside the deer. I think the front slowed down or s...

Re: My hunting land is getting logged.
Do you hunt other animals? Could be a good woodcock or rabbit spot next year.

Re: 2022 Hunting season
I will wait for the size/ class bucks I want and pass on anything smaller. That paid off this year. I used to shoot anything decent.

Re: Decent buck
Nice one Mr. Don! At -5 I’d shoot the first buck I see! My deer hunt was about 85 degrees. Very cool snow there!

Christmas Deer
We dropped off food for the staff at the ICU in the hospital. One lady asked for some deer meat. Right after dinner my brother and I went out for the last 40 minutes of light. We saw a big buck but we weren’t sure if it was bigger than what we already took, and after all we were meat hunting. A few ...

Broke up a buck fight
Right after dark in front of our property there was a commotion of rattling and huffing. Two bucks were locked up! We charged in on one and grabbed a back leg each. We pulled and twisted and they came loose. Both ran off and then a third even bigger buck began chasing both of them! It was really awe...

Re: Vertical Bow Hunters Help
Someone who understands archery will realize the tactics are the same no matter what is launching the arrow. When I use my vertical bow I have to be a little more exposed, have to be a little quieter and careful about movement, and lose about 10 minutes of legal light due to sights. If I get a old d...
