My dad , age 85 years young, just got a 9 point with 19 inch spread.....he got it with his Horten super max. I told him if he had an Excal.....the deer would have been alot bigger with more points.....he mumbled something to me , I don't know what.

PS, I also have an Excal.....no deer yet.......BOB

Bob, did your dad say something that started with an F?? LOL!
Shewe, you're a punk! LOL! Just wait, when you come to your senses Excal will void your warranty!

HaHaHa! I used to know a guy that had a hat that read: "At the mention of my name, fish tremble", lol. maybe I should get one that says "At the sight of....... lol. We got smart deer that been looking over xbows for a loooonnng time, who knows?

I see. I see!!! I agree dan! I have been pumped so bad and I have missed out on the first week!!! Your nice buck will come, just give it time! I am about ready to pack up now for my first hunt!

Have you tried making Deer Bean soup Dan?? Just look for the small brown navy bean looking things around your stand. It is a thin soup, but soup it is. If you are able to find any Deer potatoes (They look like a really big matted bean) add them. They do thicken up the broth>>>>>Whack!

Dang that has got to be one receipe i ain't even gonna try. Sounds like someone putting out poop with a scoop. Heck i done give up on deers, tried to hunt in sept. and now in oct. still ain't got no shots. I am going after them bears this morning! Be walking out the door after them in another 12 min.

Well I got out last night and boy did I have to work the kinks out! It was my first time for the season and was a week late because of work and doctor stuff. But I had in my head that it was warm out so I took my liner out of my coat and only wore a tee shirt. Well after I got into stand I realized within five minuets that I had screwed up! But I was only cold and not froze so I wanted to stick it out. I was there at 3:45, at about 4:30 or so the wind picked up from the north and boy it sucked, but it was the first day so I had to stick it out! Well at deer thirty the sun started to set and at that point I was shaking like a cat craping razor blades and the wind was blowing so hard I was more focused on holding on to the stand then I was deer hunting so I packed it up with about fifteen minuets left of "prime" time to go. Just couldn't stand it anymore! Well I lower the CB, put on backpack and start down stand. I get about ten feet from ground and what do you think I see? Yep you guessed it a buck! He was a little six point only about twenty to thirty yards behind me! I have pics of him on my cuddeback so I would have let him pass this early in the season but I was just mad that I was busted in stand!

Look at the bright side guys, I don't even have a xbow yet, or a muzzleloader, so I have to wait 'til modern gun Nov. 11. I've seen 4 deer on the lease, and 2 wild turkeys, and now I just have to bide my time. I'm hinting real hard to DH to get me a xbow for Christmas.
