Would that be the 302 caliber or the 5.4 meter. Either caliber would be expensive to fix, try to stick to a more conventional means of deer slaying.

You had to say it didn't you. I shot a nice doe last night, I hit her a little high so I thought I would wait till this morning and go retrieve her. Found her fairly easily. I'm in the middle of cleaning out the chest cavity and my phone goes off. I let it go until I'm done, about 5 minutes later. Call the wife back to see what she wanted, she says "I'm just down the road 2 bucks ran out in front of me, I hit them both". So I made sure she was OK, told her to call the police and I would be there in a few. I get my doe hanging in the barn head up the road to find a nice 5 point buck in a front yard on one side of the road and spike on the other. The sheriff had to shoot the spike, to put him out of his misery. Now there are 3 deer hanging in the barn, the Explorer is taken to the body shop and the preliminery estimate is $4000.

I'll post pics after a while.

Here are a couple pictures. first one is the Explorer after the bucks ran out in front. Second is what I did to them, along with the doe I shot the night before. So far I figure the meat is up to about $20 per pound.

Is spraying the trees with estrus considered baiting? Even so - how tuff would it be to prove?

Rain will wash it away, but corn sprouts.

Come to think of it - wild corn is not your fault, is it? Why, DADGUM! It must be leftover from earlier years...

Lure does not violate the baiting ban.
Food plots are not illegal as well.


Lookin like your off to a good start toyman.

I'm lovin the carbon arrows. I shoot carbon express 350 max., and just put on the Rage 3 blade mechanical broadhead. Very impressive broadhead. I shot a little high on the doe I shot, clipped the top of both lungs and the bottom of the spine. I figured the arrow would drop about an inch or so at 30 yards the frickin thing flew flat as could be. It really does fly like a field tip.

My dad's Mathews is like that.

I'm surprised john isn't in here on this convo. He's a sponsored archer.

I shoot a PSE FireFly. Dual wheels. You can't even feel the release it is so smooth. I can't wait to try out the carbon arrows on it. Can't remember what we got them for, but it was hella cheep.

I am shooting an Oneida Black Eagle. Bought it right up there by you at Pollingtons place, Buck Pole Archery. What a nice bow, very smooth.

Do you have to tune that bow alot? I have heard great things about that bow, and have even had a chance to shoot the hel;l out of it, Love that bow, but I have heard you have to tune that thing almost constantly?
