Hi all,
I've been checking the forum out for a couple of months now, not exactly sure how to use it but here goes. Finally bought my first crossbow, Matrix 330 lite package.
All sighted in and ready to hunt deer this year after I'm done with the rifle seasons for Moose and Deer.
Any hints or tips for bow hunting in Ontario WLU 48 could be well used, there are no corn fields in this area, but I do have a tree stand set up near what looks like good trails.
Hunt safe: Freddy

Welcome to the forum Freddy!
I don't know where unit 48 is but if you don't have agriculture it's to your advantage. Bait, then bait and bait some more.

Thanks Boo, I'm about 300 kil. North of you.
Guess corn is the best for baiting.

Welcome aboard Freddy. :D You will like the 330.
If you are looking for a buck, locate the does and hunt early season.
For late season do like Boo suggested and bait.
This year I found a new product that the deer are going nuts over, it is called Chaffhaye. It is alfalfa silage in a 50# bag. Cut the bag open on one side and dump it out. A 50# bag does not last long though as the deer go nuts over it. If you can find chaffhaye in your area, find a farmer and get some haylage from him ;)
