Are the boltcutters enough to do adequate damage? Or is it worth buying the X-Act? or another manufacturer???
Just curious, I may give it a shot one Sunday

K...good to know. Its to bad they discontinued the Buckhammer line, as they did there damage during deer season

@ Masboy - thanks for the info.
The price of the shotgun comes with rifled barrel (24")
What was the length of the shells? 2 3/4" you used...

@ masboy - unfortunately in Canada I don't believe i'll have that large of a selection for sabots in 20 gau. up here. What is the accurate range of your 12gau M1 smooth bore? 60-80-100 yards with 3" groupings? open sight or scope?
let me know

Hey guys, I'm contemplating buying the above for deer season. Has anyone ever tried using this successfully, open sights or scope, and what ammo were you using? As well how much would it cost for a smooth bore? (approx.)
Any info. will be appreciated

Morning guys, with the season nearly closing for x-bow (deer)...I was just wondering this season if the dawn or dusk posts were more successfully. Pre-rut I've spotted more deer in the am...after the rut i've spotted more in the pm, hopefully I can fill my tag in the next few days :? Any thoughts......

Wolseley, and you probably can purchase the jacket at any location that sells Milwaukee (ie. Home Depot) as a special order item...search it google

Ditto.......'i'm in"

Since were on the topic, for the Equinox they recommend 150gr head....for the life of me I can't seem to find any broadheads in 150 geared for turkey use as all are either 100 or 125...how much will it affect the trajectory? I was told the gullotine is deadly as well but you need a longer arrow

Hey guys, I realize this isn't the right forum for the above subject. But has anyone either used/owned/fired/heard any good or bad reviews regarding the above shotgun, I'm looking into buying a dedicated slug gun for deer season

Thanks

k...newbie here so be gentle, so when using a crossbow you should be aiming at the head rather then the largest part of the body to drop the bird (breast)?
And from what I've read so far, the gullotine seems to be the preferred broadhead....any others?

As well do most guys hunt from the ground or use a tree stand using a crossbow for deer?

Excellent forum here guys, glad to read the info./feedback....guess I'll head on down to BPS and get a better feel for which but it sure helps the cause if your holding an 350fps x-bow for a 40yd shot Now I just gotta make some time In Oct...if any guys don't mind me tagging along let me know :) Tha...

Morning boys, I recently converted from a diehard river angler (hence the name) and finally got into the world of hunting and can't seem to get enough of it. My question is I was looking into purchasing a crossbow to expand my deer hunting opportunities (Oct) as i'm from Toronto and was wondering wo...
