  1. I have a deer cart and if i was camping way back in i would also use it for packing gear in and have it avail at campsite. Or if i am hunting for the day would have it in the truck. I would rather hike out 3 miles to get it than drag a deer 3 miles without it. But if i was going way back in i would take it with me and stage it somewhere in the brush to use as needed. so much easier than a drag out. And i have a small come along attached to it for when a deer goes down into a ravine or something that i cant use the cart for.
  2. i thought Tom Hiddleston wouldve been a good Bond. there has been talk about that or even a female bond. And i will second nyslowhand nomination for Scarlett Johannson!
  3. in college I tried to hit a guy with a couch! so i am always armed while watching TV!
  4. Check with Matthews letter head is in the mail to You I assume.
  5. A few weeks ago I believe it was Fletch with the grilled ham steaks ....so I am calling this a Hawaiian Fletch! Put some pineapple rings on them to keep em moist. Yup good.
  6. that puts you in hunt mode! cant wait to pull my cams and hopefully have a Merry hunting season!
  7. I really do love my current bow and its sure been a killer and shoots well for me and dont plan on any changes soon. But i do a lot of bowhunting and when i bought this bow it wasnt overly expensive and it was a great upgrade from my bow that was 5 years old. But def am curious to shoot them to see what the difference is. I always stuck to Bear bows and will have to try there top line too. I really liked the Bear Empire that was out a few years ago but didnt buy one. But always curious about the high end bows. I have a $900 gun that i barely use - bows i def get my money out of them!
  8. yeah it was the one with the year of my current bow. But yeah def need to heft one. Everyone that i know that has bought a Matthews has been very happy with - so was surprised not to see them listed. Gotta go shoot em and see. Thanks
  9. that does make sense for sure! trying them is def the way to go. Noticed that when i was shopping for a crossbow. See something online and then heft it and not like it at all. thanks
  10. just did a little online and was surprised to see on a search for best rated bows - there wasnt a matthews to be seen on any of the lists. There were several Bear bows which i have always used . Bear also has high end bows avail. So guess sometime i need to shoot some to see how they are. Have heard a lot about the Elites as well being real nice. Just my new bow is so light and quiet just seems hard to believe there are so many that are double the price. http://bestcompoundbowsource.com/bear-archery-attitude-review/http://bestcompoundbowsource.com/#10
  11. I gotta know what makes a $900 bow that much better? Now i primarily bow hunt so i would drop that much on a bow as i spend way more time with that in my hands than a gun. I have a 2 year old Bear that i just love. Its light, quiet and i heart punched a doe at 35 yards last year with it. So why is a Matthews etc $900 and my bow was $400? what is the difference. I have never shot a high end bow and just wondering what the advantages are. Or is it like a gun where a savage is $400 and a Blaser is $3000 and they are both MOA but one is just a name brand and pretty and just maybe a more solid build? Just curious. I do want to go to a sporting shop sometime and shoot another bow to see what they are like. But from you folks that might be using them all the time ... what is the upgrade? thanks And the new Mathews Triax seems to be a beauty for sure , but i really do like my $400 Bear.
  12. grouse is a nice perk to have for sure. Dont see many of those around - where i hunt maybe twice a season.
  13. lol......i wish I could feel bad for you but I dont!.....when i have that many pics its because i missed a branch in front of it swaying in the breeze. So many deer you cant count em..... none sympathy. lol
  14. My buddies all know call me even at midnight and I will be there if need be and I know the same from them. The way it should be.
  15. To quote the late Lewis Crossway on water...." No thanks, I'm thirsty not dirty. It's okay for fishing in and going under bridges but you don't drink it! I'll have a beer" lol A gem from Dad
  16. gotta be burgers! its the American thing to do!

  20. Just saw a story in new fair food this year at ny state Fair. Two Hoffman hotdogs and cheese wrapped in bacon, fried and covered with jalapenos. Yup and it's only like 150 calories I bet......lol Also beer and hard cider ice cream. Sounds interesting.
  21. in life you either run with Sasquatch or you run from him. Im too fat to run so i always keep jerky in my pocket!
  22. Maybe its the stinky feet that make all bigfoot pictures grainy and hard to see.......
