I have been using a.243 for about 8 years now have taken 7 deer so far with it all but 1 dropped in sight. The 1 made it about 75 yards over the hill and dropped. Longest shot was 183 yards measured and it dropped in it's tracks. I use 100 grain Winchester power point.

I have a killer instinct that I am very impressed with. Very accurate and it balances well. I did upgrade the package scope and bolts but still have less than 500 into it

To answer your question Cooper Discoverer AT are great in snow. I've had them on my last 2 trucks a 2012 Silverado and a 2017. I live up by lake Ontario and have never had a problem in snow. I'll probably be getting a set for my 2022 soon

Cooper Discoverer AT. Put a set on my 2017 Silverado for $500 at Walmart last year and they went to Wyoming and back twice. Still had lots of life left when I traded the truck in February. Very happy with them.

Worst season ever?
On opening day of bow season 2010 I had been in my stand for about an hour when I got a message from my Aunt to get to the hospital as quickly as I could. My dad had just been brought in and things didn't look good. Dad had a stroke and a heart attack at the same time. A week before Christmas dad passed. So I guess that not seeing deer sucks but it doesn't make it the worst season ever.

How long have you been waiting? I ordered one at the end of September and was told 3 months

They appear to be the same diameter but my raiders use "S" nocks also. Might be because mine are 2008 vintage

I use 5/16 with these shafts

Hole was about 3 foot deep at edge of a field which had a ridge running into corner of it. Deer trail ran right along ridge. Only killed one doe and a 4 pt there but it worked

Yes I've done this. Back when I was younger and more flexible. It does work in the right situation. Usually leaves a good drain hole in deer for blood trail. As for water a bilge pump run off a lawn mower battery will keep most of the water out.

Look at Killer instinct. Great trigger, very accurate, reasonably quiet and good price. I got a Rush 380 last year and am very impressed. Just my opinion.

Back in the good old days, before cholesterol meds, I deep fried a spring tom. Injected it with garlic butter and added a dry rub to the outside. was the best deep fried bird I've ever had.

Hi would that be 12 or 20 gauge?

I carry my fathers old Ithaca 37 20ga.at least a couple times a year.

I do not hunt just to kill any deer. Killing a target deer or a personal best deer is not always so easy. Time spent in the woods is relaxing and theraputic so it has to be good for a person.

I enjoy bowhunting deer #1 then probably rabbits with my .22

Check out Bowhuntingoutlet.com they have some great buys on left handed bows right now. I just purchased a new Martin lithium from there for $200 off. Martin bows are very adjustable and you do not need a bow press to work on them.

Hello Everyone,new member here. I have lived in N.Y. for 52 years. Have been hunting in central N.Y. for about 40 years. Hoping to learn something and maybe share some knowledge on here. I hunt mostly on my own property with my wife and son. I spend most of my hunting time bowhunting with a little small game when time permits.

Hi, have you purchased a scope yet? If not I'd like to recommend the Killer instinct brand Lumix Pro speed rated crossbow scope. Half the price of the Vortex and mine works fantastic. The Vortex and the Hawke are probably better glass but the Truglo isn't. The scope has dots not cross hairs and I find that easier to use. Dots go from 20-80 yards and once calibrated to your bow they are very accurate.
