    Safety harness saves another

    in Bow Hunting

    Posted

    I would not be embarrased at all, the harness did it's job and he lived to tell about it hoping the guys who dont think they need the harness read this

    Although they don't need or want it..... kudos to my brother firemen for getting him out of the tree I'm quite sure it was not an easy job .

    Youth Hunt Harvest Thread...

    in Deer Hunting

    Posted

    Congrats to the youth who took their first deer. Way to go !

    No luck for my son, but as I stated in another post it's about being out there with the kids, having fun and making memories. We had a good time, shared some laughs and got out in the woods, I hope all the mentors had fun as well.

    Oh and by the way, we hunted different spots every day and saw no other hunters, so as far as the youth hunt ruining things for the others did not happen in our neck of the woods!

    Kids, Who's Taking One?

    My son is 14, primed and ready to go. Looking forward to being out there with him. Dont even care if he shoots a deer, I just feel fortunate to have the opportunity to hunt and pass along a tradition my dad started with me when I was young.

    Additionally, I still enjoy hunting w/ my dad, even though he does not go out as often as he used to since he is approaching 79 in October he's slowed down a few steps, but can still shoot w/ the best of them.

    shipping a firearm

    in Guns and Rifles and Discussions

    Posted

    I ran into a small problem trying to ship a gun back to Mossberg for a problem w/ the safe not working properly.

    Was told by Mossberg to contact either UPS or Fedex and should be no problem. Went to the UPS store where the SOB behind the counter told me to read the sign behind counter which amongst other things stated no guns, explosives blah blah blah.....when I furhter questioned him about what Mossberg rep stated he told me they dont know what they are talking about.

    On way back home I run into a Fedex guy in 7-11 ask him same question, you would have thought I had 3 heads the way he looked at me and he told me same thing. NO GUNS thru Fedex.

    I then called Fedex main line explain my dilemma and the rep tells me I can ship a gun and rattles off several locations for me to do so.

    Prior to shipping I went to the drop location spoke w/ the guy who gave me a box, bubble wrap and was happy to have my business.

    Has anyone else ever ran into this type of run around ?

    My New Mission Riot

    in Bow Hunting

    Posted

    Just picked up my new "Riot" and love shooting it.

    For those of you who dont know Mission is made by Mattews but not as pricey as a matthews, did not want to break the bank and am very happy with everything so far.

    Looking forward to Oct 1st. Good luck to everyone !

    Poison ivy

    in General Chit Chat

    Posted · Edited by Big Indian

    One product that works pretty good for poison ivy/oak/sumac is Zanfel. They sell it at drug stores and walmart. It is a cream that you scrub on the affected area. Stops the itch almost immediatly and the rash begins to heal fairly quickly. Its about $30 for a small tube, but well worth it. Only think that I have found to work.

    amen to that !

    the stuff is like gold if u get a case of poison ivy, and when u do scrub w/ this stuff which has the consisency of sand it feels good because it's like scratching the affected area.

    Usually clears within a day or two

    new bow hunter

    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.
