So much of this debate revolves around how you will use this gun and how you hunt. If you are pushing deer as a driver or a sitter almost all of your shots will be 50 yards or less. If you can hit a paper plate 5 shots out of 5 off hand then does it really matter if the 5 shots are touching...

GOD IS GREAT, and HE doesn't make mistakes! Wonderful to hear you are back outdoors.

A very insperational video. Maybe we need to rethink our thoughts about "just another doe" or skin head or baldy. We should be "just so proud" of the deer we shoot, just like this young man is.

Ok I have read all of this thread and here is my take on it. I think that many of you are being a little short sighted on this issue because most of you have made replies that only apply to bow hunting, basicly. What you are missing is that these regulations apply to not only bow hunting, but...

That is about as good as anything gets, wonderful news. I am not a regular church goer but I echo your thoughts completely, it has gotten me this far. Remember " Feed your faith and your fears will starve" .:way:

Wonderful news for the update. Remember that each step in the hallway is one step closer to the RECOVERY goal. Best wishes to both of you because from my own experience all this is just as hard on you as it is on him from what I saw with my wife after I was well enough to recognize it.

Everyone please keep this young man in your thoughts and prayers today. I pray that everything goes as planned and that your road to recovery starts TODAY!!:way:

For this kind of a situation that is great news. With it being somewhat localized and the early detection you should get a very good prognosis. Before my surgery they put me through a complete physical and a colonoscopy and a heart stress test. I am guessing that you have already completed...

Listen to me about this as I have experienced the same devestating news. The first few days of fright are the worst you will proably experence. After 2 biopsies, 6 months apart in 2010, I was told that I have prostate cancer. Even though we were kind of expecting this pronouncment it is still a...

If you aren't getting string slap on your arm you aren't holding the bow correctly.. The handles on a long bow are not designed for a high wrist position like most recurves. Instead of having almost all of the pressure from drawing the bow on the web of your hand between the thumb and index...

That was quite an undertaking and turned out great. I agree with the point about doing our best to make a clean quick harvest, and not ever waste one of these wonderful creatures of God, especially just for a set of horns. Thanks for posting it on here.

According to the IDNR site the number of deer reported killed by autos was 10,626 n 2011. That translates into 547 deer killed per BILLION MILES DRIVEN. If you compare past years that correlates with 1994 very closely. In 1994 there were 10,438 kills which meant 663 per billion miles driven...

I have always shot any bow with both eyes open and with a stick bow I anchor just below my right eye and kind of sight down the arrow. I also shoot a shotgun with both eyes open, but I just can't seem to do that with a scope or open sights on a rifle or slug gun. I can shoot a red dot type...

I am sorry for all of you but I must agree with Lyon, we don't know what the PLAN is or what the future holds. Spend time and do normal and enjoyable things but mostly just be with him. I can tell you that prayers must help because over the last 3 years I have been privileged to have hundreds of...

Yes I truly enjoy hunting and being in the out doors and have for more years than you have been on earth, I am guessing! I shot my first squirrel in 1958 and have been hunting ever since. ;) I do disagree with your overly simplified solution about the TV show issue. I already don't watch them...

You bet I do. Which hunter spend the most money each year, the deer hunter who bow hunts a little and maybe hunts a gun season, or the rabbit hunter who runs a Beagle several weekends a year? Deer hunter buys new arrows and broadheads say $150 and a Lone Wolf treestand and sticks for $300 and a...

I intend to also relax and enjoy my time hunting this year, but then I do that most of the time any way. I don't hunt trophies any way so no pressure there. I will be making one huge change however, I will be using an Equinox crossbow for the first time. I am looking forward to that.

I also believe that hunting, and especially deer hunting, has been overly commercialized due mainly to most of the hunting TV shows. We have conditioned many new hunters to believe that all you have to do is climb into a stand on the edge of a food plot and pick out the buck they want to shoot...

Since 1995 I have only shot my own home made wooden self bows and an old Ben Pearson recurve. This year I have been forced to make some changes but will still be shooting a recurve, but it will be an Excalibur recurve crossbow. My shoulders just won't let me shoot even the 45lb Pearson recurve...

I just wanted to let you know that I just received a very nice thank you email from Hunter. You should know when they do things correctly as well as when they don't and he was very polite with his questions and the thank you. Please don't blame me if I warped his thinking on this subject, I...
