You just gotta be an old fart to remember those antiques.

I used to use one when I went to the snowmobile races back in the early 70's. Haven't seen one since then.
They work, but I wouldn't use one for hunting. They have a lighter fluid odor that will spook deer.

Feild points... the feed bag works great. I stuffed mine with old blue jeans, t-shirts and peices of carpet.

As written, take the bottons, rivets and zippers off first.

Isn't it funny... It wasn't that long ago when we were 18 and bullet proof. We knew that we'd get old, but it was almost beyond imagination. Today my mind says I'm young, but my body aches, and yup, I get the whole ear hair thing. The aches and pains are just reminders that we aren't meant to be her...

Easiest answer in the world. The kid shoots the buck.

I suppose that this is easy for me because while I prefer the nice rack, I am first and foremost a meat hunter.

When my kids shot deer, I was happier than if I would have taken the shot myself.

[uhttp://i871.photobucket.com/albums/ab277/tajans/hollydeerA1.jpg?t=1249974152rl] I'm afraid that I know just enough about computers to be dangerous. I'll try and post a pic here. This was my daughter's first deer, taken during a youth hunt in 2001. She gutted it with only a little instruction, and ...

Ahhh, to be young again. I used to be able to sit anywhere... for hours. These days, my butt needs a bit more realestate :(

What a nice looking woods. It looks similar to one of my spots, but you have far less under growth than my spot. I should be out there right now thinning the sapplings out but the skeeters and deer flies are so bad right now.
I hate to rush summer, but your picture make me wish for fall.

It was hard to watch. You just knew it was coming.
I've seen guys get scoped several times. It made enough of an impression on me to always be careful of it.
YES, you ALWAYS start a newby off on a small calibur.
This guy obviously didn't know what he was doing in the instruction dept.

Those storms that blew through probably had something to do with the early drop. In West MI we get our weather from you guys, and we had some real storms last night.

Nothing p*sses me off more than when someone comes along and takes something that I worked for. I once found a guy laying across my front seat, unhooking my car stereo. His feet were on the ground. It felt so good when I slammed the door into his shins... twice. He howled like a scalded cat. He got ...

Good thing Excaliburs are accurate; the game seems to be getting smaller.
