  1. I am selling my Mission Sub-1 crossbow.  It is in UA camo and comes with the complete package.  Scope, bolts, case, broadheads, etc. etc.

    I bought it for one trip and it was never used.  I paid over $2k for the whole package.  Looking for $1500.

  2. I'm not going to say that I agree with the OP, But I do have a question or two. For all the individuals that say the law is the law and that's it, why can't we as tax payers question the laws? Why is it okay to hunt half an hour before and after sunrise/sunset in Ohio, but illegal across an arbitrary line in western NY? Why in NY can you hunt waterfowl a half an hour before and after sunrise/sunset, but not deer? I understand safety, but is it really more or less safe one way or the other? I don't know the statistics, but are there more accidents in states that allow the half an hour before and after sunrise/sunset? I really think that it is our duty to question our officials regularly. I'm not saying to take matters into your own hands and make the rules as you go but what are the steps to change the rules? Do hunters really have input into regulations? I've hunted for 25 years and never once been asked for my input on regulations, have you? Just some thoughts...

    You can certainly question authority and the laws that are made. It is the foundation of our government. If you don't like a law, do something about it. Speak to an elected official, or make your voice heard during election time. But as long as a law is in place, it's the law. And if your method of questioning that law is to break it, the you must deal with the repercussions. And that's not just of the authorities but also of those people who honor and respect the laws despite their disagreement with a particular law.

    The concept is quite simple. But certain people have a sense of entitlement and superiority which is disgusting. You are no better than anyone else. And if you have the nerve to flaunt that and publicly discuss how you did something illegal and want a pat on the back for it, we'll then you are just a dope.

  3. A140" isnt a megladon, that aside the thing I find funny is that your original situation occurred in the morning, under the light, supposedly, of a full moon. So, I guess to add to your hypothetical situation, if the sun goes down and a full moon comes up, and you can still see the 11, er, not 11 pointer, can you just keep on shooting straight through the night? Don't try to justify your illegal actions. The laws are laws. Like it or not. Not guidelines or suggestions. It takes a special person who thinks they're better than the rest and can do what they want.

  4. The fact that you couldn't tell if it was the 11pt you were after or not clearly shows that there was not nearly enough light and it was a dumbass thing to do. That said, nice buck. There's the pat on the back you were looking for with your " Nuthin Special" post.

  5. I really can't understand how this happens. People like this should be arrested. It is inconceivable how a person could take a shot like that. A kill shot should be aimed at a 9" diameter area around the vitals. No reason for any other shot. If you don't have a clear sight picture then you don't shoot. Very simple. It's unreal what some morons will shoot at.

  6. The practice points that come with many broadheads do the job as well.  And they're free (kinda). Rage practice heads are great for small game.  Plus, I like them better because theres a better chance of your arrow surviving the shot. I have broken every arrow that I have shot with a Judo.  The practice heads are still sharp and will bury themselves whereas the judo points cause blunt force impact on the arrow as well.

  7. I had a turkey "buzz the tower" Maverick and Goose style.  The tower, mind you, was my head.  So much for scent control in the woods when, rather than soil myself, I just let some gas go. 

     

    This season I had a good scare when I was climbing a tree that was too smooth, too hard and too icy for a climber and took a slide about 5 feet down the trunk.  At least my girlish scream sounded like a doe bleet.
