Re: OT: Canadain Firearm Buy Back Program

Cabinet in 2020 blacklisted hundreds of thousands of high-powered firearms. More wordsmanship - does that mean every non-22LR caliber? Waiting for the day they outlaw bringing guns into Canada for hunting and competition and "killing" entire industries. What next, lead weights and barbed ...

Peter, along with Bill and Kathy, you opened the hunting world's eyes to what could be. And so it became! Your career led you through a magnificent journey, and it's finally time to define your own destiny. Congrats on a well-earned and greatly-deserved retirement. God bless you and keep you healthy...

Eventually government will pass enough laws to make even the most law-abiding citizen a criminal.

Re: Iowa banned trail cameras on public land.

I hunted Iowa for 15 years and still don't understand some of their outdated and archaic traditions (although I'm from Michigan with no shortage of ridiculosity). This is a great first step forward for the individual hunters but wouldn't have affected my hunting posse at all. We conducted deer drive...

Re: Quick freezer question

^^^ What grouse and AJ01 said ^^^ Apologize if we're not giving the answer you'd like to hear, but standing freezers are the best! And for all the previously stated reasons, plus one more: takes much less floor space. The only circumstance I would recommend a chest freezer is if you plan to freeze a...

Re: Ticks!

Wasn't aware there's a vaccine against Lyme disease for dogs. Definitely needs to pursue. Thanks for the PSA. Ticks are worst I've ever seen in Detroit suburbs. Our experience mirrors yours after taking an outdoor stroll. Permethrin is prolly working on long pants, but my problem is we gotta cross t...

Re: C2 Recall

I just visited Port Huron warranty center last Friday, and hook replacement was among the items resolved. Nick was fantastic! BUT THEY'RE CLOSING :( Friday, 12April, is last day. Operations moving to Taxachussettes where, as of 2023, crossbow hunting is legal only for disabled hunters with permit (w...

Re: What the heck is wrong with people today?

We got booted from a farm a few years ago, someone kept driving in the crop fields and we got blamed, hope you don’t Steve. A local farmer gave me permission to hunt years ago. After initially introducing myself and several follow-up visits/conversations (my first meeting with him was not "can...

Re: Best 3 things I've bought.....so far

Still can't get myself to buy a Worksharp. I swear by my Outdoor Edge folding drop point knives. Incredible steel which will go 4-5 deer before needing touch-up. HOWEVER, couple years back kids gave me Outdoor Edge Razor Lite 3.5" for Christmas and HOLY COW you will never ever need to handle a...

Re: Excaliburs survey

From what I've gathered they already do a fair amount of warranty work out of their Port Huron location. But would be a bummer for you Canadians if they moved production out of Kitchener. Hopefully they are just gathering useful info, and keep production there, where it began. Resurrecting old thre...

Re: 2024 Season

2023 was worst season in a looong time. Only got two little ones. But, better than expected since I wasn't sure of getting out at all. One of my favorite "retreat to the woods" late season areas was hit by major windstorms last spring which brought down tons of trees and re-routed the deer...

How cold is too cold

Our deer season in Michigan extends thru 01January on private land. We've had weather as cold as current (1F) before in December. WHich brings to mind the question: How cold is too cold to shoot an Excalibur? Those limbs will get more brittle at extremely cold temps. Does Excalibur have a "do n...
