leftist pinko commie-you me laugh!lol

G-man here is an article to back up what you say. I think I can put my questions about crossbows to rest. http://www.drawloc.com/content/crossbow-vs-compound-bow

Cool picture-I have some like that from my Father-in-law. My Father-in-law used to trailer a boat up to Indian lake and use the boat to get around to hunt different parts. He has so many stories from there. I think they used to check in with the ranger and pay 25 cents for a camp ground. I remember him talking about a General store called Chaz-Johns ? (I think that what the name was) There was a forest fire one year and all the hunters got together and helped to put it out. Two locals got stuck on the lake and he pulled them all the way back to the boat ramp, they gave him a key to their cabin as a thank you- use it any time they said. Those were the days!

Years ago I saw a huge buck that was shot opening day. The mass on this deer was tremendous it also was a doe! The rack was very tall and didn't have many beams but was as round as a BB bat at the base.

That rack is so interesting, the story is amazing also. It's funny how she ended up so close to you in the end and in an "freaky" way.

Trying to get more votes Fletch! Got my eye on you..........

I'll go to the show but it seems it's the same stuff year after year. Not what I call a high quality show but a good way to meet up with fellow sportsman and maybe find a bargain. Rich has a nice booth and is usually doing a mount at the booth.

I'm with ya, good work shooter-people just love putting down the guy even before the work starts.

Had one by my camp this year. I would of shot it if it came by. My neighbor has a full body mount of a piebald he got years ago, house never burnt down and shoots a deer every year!

Actually those bunnies were caught taking a nap after a meat eating feast! That poor deer didn't stand a chance! They go right for the neck!

I have some family in Massena, small world, eh?

No I didn't say I was against crossbows in bow season and hearing a shot for most of us puts us on alert and we are more likely to react better. It's kind of like driving for hours at 75 mph and you see a trooper up ahead and slow down ( do the right thing, your alerted to the situation) that's what I mean. I'm thinking safety- we are on a forum to share our thoughts.

The couple from washington are a riot. Check out some of the video on the news.

Maybe so but he is only 15 and has alot to learn. We were all 15 at one time (some still are) as adults we should know what it's all about. It's one deer out of many and you will learn you can't stop it, yes it's a shame the deer went to waste but it happens everywhere. I just posted one that was found right by me that was a nice 10 pt. There are so many factors that can go into this scenario, you just don't know. Oh, Robinson446 I like you dedication and enthusiasm for the sport. I have been taking a kid for the last two years (he's your age) and it really pumps me up to see such young individuals so into hunting. Wish there were more of you.

Some of the events have happened in the past, especially with the fish kill.

Funny, Blood spurting everywhere, but just a flesh wound! Just 2 410's used to get them bunnies.

Have at it Dave!

I did fletch, they all say Bubba on them! Great picture! Some info on it! NOTE: In the Adirondack Chronology there is a mention of a moose being shot at Saranac Lake in 1965 and entered in the Trudeau Big Buck Contest. The writers were taken in by a prank in the Adirondack Daily Enterprise perpetuated by Bill McLaughlin. Below is a link to that photo of Bob Liddy with a moose he shot in Canada!

High, putting the kid I mentor on his first decent buck. Low was missing a nice 8 pt-twice.

I got a taker, sorry I don't have another.

Guys, I have this barrel in my gun case along with the chokes. Lent the gun to someone years ago and never got it back. I have no use for it so if anyone has a Mossberg that needs this barrel its yours free. Just pay the shipping. Burt

Nice deer!

Yes sir! Yea you couldn't tell with what was left on the deer. I know of one wounded buck about his size that was never found, it was tracked in the total opposite direction though.

Another one that went off and died. Found right in the middle of a field, too bad he looked real nice. Broken off one side. Good rabbit hunting by me, boys did this in a couple of hours.
