Belo's tips that nobody asked for.

1. After you've purchased your crossbow and realized you're now less of a man, see if the dealer will take it back with no restocking fee, the storage is now their problem.

2. Give your crossbow to your nephew who is obsessed with the walking dead and zombie videogames. He can store it and hopefully have a fun time playing with it in the backyard and not hurt one of his buddies. Storage is now his problem.

3. Repurpose your crossbow as a boat anchor. While certainly there are better and more affordable options for boat anchors, if you remove the cable the crossbow will do just fine and you can keep it nice and secure in your boat storage cubby.

4. Chanel your inner goonies and set up a booby trap. This solution will require a trip to lowes or home depot and some creativity, but if done correctly, that amazon delivery guy will never think about trying to peek in the window again. This storage solution is the most effective because your crossbow is now active 100% of the time. Warn your wife and kids of course.

5. And probably the best solution of all, donate your crossbow to an old bowhunter who can't pull back the strings anymore. Keep this guy in his stand come autumn and allow him to keep enjoying the crisp fall air and crunching leaves of the approaching 8 point buck with his nose to the ground. If you don't know an old bowhunter who can't pull back the strings anymore, seek out a local VFW or organization that provides hunts to handicapped individuals. A hunter in the woods with something, is better than a hunter not in the woods at all.

 

-Happy Friday,

Did you know that the highest scoring, typical-antlered whitetail buck ever killed in the USA, and second place world wide by less than 3”, was taken with a crossbow last fall in Indiana ?  
 

Maybe, if you got yourself a crossbow, you might kill a really big buck.  Then you wouldn’t have to worry about folks making fun of the pictures you posted of it on here, and you could finally participate in the harvest thread.  Wouldn’t that be special ?
 

As that new National record whitetail buck shows, you will have a tough time beating them.  There is nothing stopping you from joining them, at least not during the easiest two weeks to kill a really big buck, in NY’s southern zone. 
 

Best of luck to you this deer season, whichever weapon you  use. The scoped, in-line muzzleloader is my new favorite, since the Holiday season, and it has already blessed us with a ‘22 buck:

 

NY state made four awesome changes last year: early antlerless gun season, Adirondack early antlerless ML, extra half hour before and after sunrise sunset, and Holiday ML.
 

Each of those put a deer to our freezer last season.  As long as they keep those up, I could care less if full inclusion of the crossbow ever happens.  
 

I now prefer that it stays the same.  I’d hate to have to choose between southern zone crossbow and northern zone early ML week plus opening weekend of gun up there in October.

I'm not sure the largest whitetail killed by a crossbow helps your case at all, it just reinforces that they're easier.

But leave it to you to not only A. Break a rule by hunter shaming, but B. Take a light hearted fun joke and make it serious, all while using it as an excuse to post another picture AGAIN.
