Sat in a stand in Ontario this am for 2 1/2 hours . Saw absolutely nothing . It was cccccccccccold !
Haeding to South Bristol tomorrow am and will hunt with my youngest son . It's forecasted to be below freezing Wednesday morning . ???
My father in law got me into deer hunting in 1965 . It was shotgun only and you could only shoot a doe if you had a "party permit" and the guy with the armband was the only one allowed to shoot . He told me , "if you knock one down , get to it fast and put another slug in it's neck . You might just daze one and he''ll get up and run on you " ! It was good advice !
My oldest son was shooting a compound and gave it up for a recurve . He wanted more of a challange . I believe he has at least 4 recurves and the Black Widow cost him something like $900 ( more than a compound ) . He also makes his own footed shafts and sells some on EBAY .
I got pushed into a newer bow from peer pressure and then I won a bow by spending $30 in a raffle . If you are shooting it it it works well for you ,why change . I wouldn't mess with a new bow right now so you have plenty of time to research bows in the next few months . There are a lot of excellent bows on the market !
Thanks for the information . I was under the impression that money to the DEC paid for bicycle and hiking trails . A couple of friends that almost live on their bikes made a remark about hunting and I said , "if it wasn't for hunters , you folks wouldn't have your bike trails" ! The husband didn't agree .
The John Wayne quote I always liked is " Life is hard . It's harder if you're stupid" ! ;D
oops ! Sorry . I got off track also .
I hope the man who wants to use a crossbow but can't finds a way to get out and hunt during gun season and scores !
I bet that JarHead had a couple of FMJ clips ! ')'>http://www.downsouthhuntingforums.com/images/smiles/newrollinglaugh.gif[/img] ')'>http://www.downsouthhuntingforums.com/images/smiles/newrollinglaugh.gif[/img] ')'>http://www.downsouthhuntingforums.com/images/smiles/newrollinglaugh.gif[/img]
What does the money that we pay in license fees pay for ? Also what do they spend the money from the Pittman - Robertson Tax on ?
Is the money thay we pay out go to biking and hiking trails also ?
I often wonder where they get the Poll numbers from . I have been voting for 48 years and have NEVER had anyone ask me in a survey who I was voting for . No doubt they come up with some Bogus numbers to sway the voters or to have you thing who you might vote for is a lost cause . Just an opinion .
