Not liking Obama doesn't make you a racist. Liking Obama makes you a fool though.

Yes Virgil he's a little mixed up but we get the point....P.S. we like to be called right wing nut jobs, thank you

I think that in your right wing enthusiasm to take another silly shot at Obama, you were a little careless. Isn't that quote the exact oppsite of what all you guys accuse the president of thinking.

Look, I know that our technocracy has made a lot of people into almost devoted religous believers in all things scientific. But I also see plenty of evidence that all this unquestioning belief in the infallibilty of science and numbers is often misplaced. Anyone who has closely examined the history of antlerless deer permit allocations can pretty easily spot the years when massive adjustments were required for corrections of population mis-estimates. These always came after the fact and not as a result of some predictive statistical model. Also, it has not escaped my notice that with all these mystic number-crunchings, small game bag limits and seasons have remain absolutely stagnant and unchanging for decades, showing that there is and awful lot of useless numbers manipulation that never seems to have made it into hard changes. I think it's nice to be able to believe in the infallibility of statistics or to receive some sort of comfort from the belief that there is a safety net of numbers that watch over us all. But everyday observations show us that science and math are not always infallible, and they do not provide all the solutions to everything. Used properly, they are a great tool for progress. Used or applied deceptively, fraudulently or just plain incorrectly can be a dangerous at worst and useless at best. It's also useful to consider that there are some things that do not lend themselves to reliable statistics. There is also the old "garbage in-garbage out" (GIGO) principle. My thought here is simply, do not take everything for granted simply because it has a statistcal label hung on it. If something sounds totally unbelievable, it probably is. The statistitians will definitely try to convince us to relax, sit back, and let them take care of all the world's woes. I think they need to be questioned and watched and periodically evaluated for proper application and use and results. And here in this article are some prime candidates for some close scrutiny and evaluation.

I think it's more important to notice, that it's another Wildgame cam that works.

Honestly Grow we have a lot of respect for you. You hunt your ass off, kill deer, care about wild life, grow food plots, construct stands on your own, and on and on. You are more of a hunter than most. Just a little quirky some times, I try not to pick on you out of that respect but once in a while a joke here and there can't hurt no matter who it is. Now come here and give me a hug.

Only 86.8% chance??? Wow Doe, I think we are slipping. Our average used to be around 98% as confirmed by Phade's analysis a while back. Trust us Growalot, we mean NO malice with our jokes. Most of us absolutely love the many, many stories you tell us, thus we love to bring some of them back life!!

Fixed it for ya

I teach it now. It was a joke about a previous poster who tried to tell us all the archery instructors went to albany and refused to teach crossbow. I am all for corssbows

Damn it Bubba, I just spit my drink out of my nose

Dont see any pics of clients with dead animals?

just give me muzzy 100gr

Like I said 97.3 percent of statistics are made up .

Then why'd you buy it? lol

I too, after many, many yesrs of gun took up archery last year at the prompting of my son who was interested. I started practicing every day from end of sept and was VERY FORTUNATE and LUCKY to have shot a very nice 6 pointer my first ever time in the bow stand, Nov 5th. So if you have the time to shoot 10-15 arrows every day from it is conceivable you could be ready, but it's a matter of personal preferance and comfort with the bow and your ability. I agree with most all of the comments here, and am also happy to see someone offered you a bow for free, which is what my friend did for me. I just put a deposit on a new Mission Riot and am stoked for the upcoming season. I make my final deposit on it next week. I wish you all the best and hope you enjoy it. I am addicted, but not just because I shot a deer, because to me it's not about shooting anything, to me it's quality time with good friends and family in the field and after the hunt sharing a meal some great conversation and making memories.

The biggest reason I am planning on holding off until next year is that I have not shot a bow in 14-15 years and have never shot seriously. I really don't know how prepared I would be this year and unless i pick up a bow and it feels like second nature to me I wouldn't feel comfortable using it to hunt with. I feel any animal I hunt deserves enough respect from me that I should at least be able to shoot consistently/ accurately. And yes doewhacker I am a lefty but I would not be able to accept a Bow for nothing.
