I've never seen a gun be violent. Mine just kinda lay there all docile and shit, until I pick them up.

I do it cuz of the challenge and woodsmanship, and I like to eat them.

The best you can do is the best you can do. Smart move passing up questionable shots. At best, all day or all night tracking. At worst a wounded deer gets away to suffer.

No matter how much I do on our hunting property I wish I would have done Just trying to give you a few tips to make your first hunting season a little easier. All these are school of hard knocks tips. Hopefully you find them useful and make your first season easier and successful.

No matter how much I do on our hunting property I wish I would have done more. Each year is an improvement over last year. I keep an arrow with a field point in my 3 arrow quiver to uncock my Xbow at the end of each hunting day. Easier to remove from backstop. I have a target/backstop set up 30...

You're golden big daddy

It's entirely possible to be zeroed @ 20 yards, a bit high @ 30, and zeroed again @ 40 due to arrow speed and trajectory. I'd be curious to know how high @ 30 using the same dot. 3" high or less would be mint. You could use the same dot for a dead on hold to 40 yards.

Got milk?

I never gave body height much thought (I'm 6'2") so naturally I assumed it was just as easy for anyone to cock a crossbow using a RCD. The rope on mine was too long, so I merely cut some off one end, and used a simple (double overhand) stopper knot to reattach the handle. At 5'6" you must...

Sad but very true

Revenge is Mine, sayeth the Lord

OH...I can't wait til Fall Turkey hunting season. 6 more long days...

Since you'll be in my backyard, so to speak, best advice I can give is...if you're wading below the dam get your ass out of the water when the alarm sounds.

Meeting of the No-Minds, with free press from the Bobbleheads.

Back burner project until we move but I love food for thoughr

Just arrived... The short version- new barrel for my BPS 12 gauge, 22" fully rifled with cantilever scope mount. The longer, slightly more entertaining version- my wife and I were chatting at the kitchen table on the afternoon of Sept. 30th, I allowed as how I was going to voluntarily stop...

What cartridge is it chambered for?

I like the way you think

We'll be neighbors...almost

To be continued in Family Court where they will receive a good scolding

About time they smartened up

That man's ego knows no bounds. He's a legend in his own mind.

You're welcome, good luck and enjoy!

Well @Kent Goldings ...ima hand you the trophy. Try as I might, I can't motivate myself to get out there and squirrel hunt anymore. The whole time I'd likely be praying I didn't get one to skin and eat. Hats off to you for getting out there sir, and enjoying the great outdoors. To focus on...

Another tip if you want it, once your scope is dialed in, either shoot one arrow per bull or back up to at least 30 yards to increase group size and save from arrows striking each other and tearing up arrow fetching. Yes, they're that accurate. Best accuracy means equal tension on both sides of...

That's exactly right. You can just rotate the collar and reuse, for 3 total uses.

No worries. I figured it out. Thanks for the kind words.

I had to look that up

You rotate the collar until the back side of the blades are BETWEEN the notches on the collar...do NOT line up the collar notches behind the blades. Also you will see small notches on the back of the blades when in 'flight' position. These "lock" into collar and hold blades into flight...

I understand now. My first impression was that you were being sarcastic, but you weren't. No more confusion.

Confused. We all started from scratch. You can only research so much, then you plunge in and get some hands-on.

Just arrived Ima try these in my Browning BPS 12 gauge. Some years ago I purchased the extra Game Gun deer barrel V2.0, with rifle sights, Invector choke system, and included 5" OAL ported rifled choke tube. I call it V2.0 because it was offered between the original Game Gun deer barrel with...

I've heard of that cartridge and rifle. Once popular with pre-war law enforcement.

Man. Tough break. Welcome to New York...the Police State.

We've all been there.

Exactly. Be sure to line up the arrows, so the back of the broadhead blades are between the notches on the collar. That part of the collar snaps off on impact and the blades open outward. Edited for spelling and clarity. You can rotate and get 3 uses per collar.

I use the Rage Crossbow X, and am very satisfied. They are nasty. Flies like a field point NYS legal mechanical, because once deployed the blades will pivot back towards the front, thus are not 'barbed'.

That's awesome. Tell me you have an old Herter's .401 Power Mag revolver too

I'd like a dollar for everytime I drove 69 from Mexico to Rome. Edit: everytime not everything. Damn spellcheck

Genuine black walnut tube. Has a great mellow tone.

I bought this new back in the day. Works well for early season, if you just sit still and call. Sure brings them around to investigate.

We have had a shortage of turkeys for the last 6-7 years here due to repeated rainy damp cold springs. This year was warm and dry for good poult survival. Seeing many more flocks while driving so I'm encouraged.

Found it, ye olde P.S. Olt squirrel call, circa 1979. It was a minor miracle, considering I have a really bad habit of simply placing my orders on the floor of the walk in closet upstairs, instead of putting it all away. The things I won't do for you guys.

I just use a hatchet for the head, feet and tail.

6K...Happy Valley. Nice. 20 minutes from me.

I remove feet, head and tail, pinch a fold of skin on the middle of back, slice thru it and yank both ways.

I haven't hunted grays in at least 15-20 years. I might have to get out there and see if what y'all are saying is true, about a squirrel 'shortage'. I'll bring my new Benelli Monte 20 gauge along, with improved modified choke, some Winchester Super-X high brass 6's, and see about this here...
