Hi Everyone,
I've been a member of the forum here for a few months now after purchasing a new Ibex crossbow. I go fairly often to Royal City Archery in Guelph, Ontario to practice on their 3D targets and that got me thinking about trying my hand at deer hunting this fall. I have recently completed the Hunter Safety course and received my Outdoors card and deer license for a buck. Would anyone know if it is possible to get one of the additional game seals without having applied to the antlerless deer draw? I am in WMU 80.

Thanks,

Welcome from a fellow guelphite, You should have no problems getting an additional seal without applying for the antlerless draw. If you need any advice this is the place to be. How do you like the Ibex? I'm really considering getting one.

Hello to everyone,
I'm really impressed with the level of knowledge and enthusiasm that is on this board. I've learned a lot from all the comments already.

NewGuy:
Thanks for the info- I think I'll head to the Service Ontario location on Stone Road and apply for the additional seal. I really enjoy the Ibex, granted I don't have anything to compare it with, but it generally puts the arrow where I want, and I'm certain any deviations from the target are due to the user, not the bow. My only problem is that the arrows are so difficult to pull out of the targets, but then again. thats how I get my exercise!!

Arrow lube and an arrow puller will make your life a lot easier. Any decent archery shop can help you with both.
