  1. how many UFTA members are on here. im a member and my club is by Mt. Carmel Illinois
  2. who put in for the newport hunt this year. its the first year since the 9-11 attacks the public has been allowed in. i have a couple of friends that work there and they say there are some true 200" deer in there. here is a shed one found last year.
  3. i think they will make it back to the championship game but the longhorns will walk away with the trophy.
  4. i just got an email from Rage saying i could replace my original blades with the 40KE blades, but it didnt mention anything about the kinetic energy curve thats in the graph above.
  5. i expected silva to win but i didnt expect him to make griffin look like a rookie and toy with him. forrest will be back and will dominate his next fight
  6. goldfish work well, this past friday night the only thing hitting them were gar the biggest being around 30lbs. you cant go wrong with bluegill though
  7. i checked it out on the web this year and the first tag is high dollar like $1000 or something but then you can buy a second tag for $75 i think. thats crazy
  8. i knew it would happen when bowles walked in listening to johnny cash. i thoght bowles had a really good chance but you can never count torres out!!
  9. def. paper tune it, but make sure you have a wrist sling on and let your bow fall when you shoot. some people torque the bow and would never think they were. hold the bow open between the index and thumb and let the bow fall. if your still having the same issues then as said above spine makes a difference as does $9 broadheads from walmart
  10. i shot them for a couple of years when the maximas first came out and they are great arrows, but now they are so high. i switched to gold tip pros year before last and they are just as good and straighter for less $$$. i would recommend the gold tips
  11. WOW i didnt know that i am shooting 67lbs at 29". i have only shot one doe with my rage but it was at 10yds about 20' high behind the shoulder broadside and no pass through. the tip was bent at a 90 angle and the blades looked like the were serrated, but the blood trail just from the entry was unbielievable. thought maybe i hit a few ribs at the same time and that smaller diameter would be great. thanks a ton for the info!!
  12. i havent used them but i saw the commercial on tv showing four cameras all under $100. one was even a 4meg IR!!..... but they are under $100 so not sure if i want to purchase something only to have to replace it with a better product or if it is actually a quality product
  13. i have the original 2 blade but cant find any info on if i can replace my blades with the new smaller cutting blades or if i have to stay with the original. ive emailed rage but no response yet. thanks ahead of time for info
  14. i would go with the new rage two blade that has a smaller cutting surface than the original. you shouldnt have any issues with your bow and they are devastating heads
  15. im in the market for a good grinder that i will not have to stop and clean every 5 minutes and wont take all day to do a deer. i would like to stay under $500 and wanted to see if anyone had any preferences
  16. not sure how the bears are this year but ive hunted about an hour north of dryden with northern woods lodge. alot of bear in that area you should have alot of fun.GL
  17. STAY OUT OF INDIANA!! The last thing we want is for our state to turn into the commercial nightmare that illinois residents have to face every year:bang:. FYI we had the worst case of CWD ever seen hit our state this year and non resident tags are going up to $2500.
  18. what should the I.D. of the barrel be at the end of a smoothbore .410 for rifled slugs? this is just a rossi single shot but groups are no better than 8" at 20yds. i have been told to cut a few inches off the barrel and it would help but im uncertain how reliable this info is. thanks
  19. ive used lacrosse burly but they split at the sole after two seasons. what is the best insulated rubber hunting boot on the market?
  20. I placed an order with VanDykes on Feb.27 for $1200. 3 days after the order was placed I received a call saying that most of the items were in stock but a table would have to be painted and the order would ship a couple of days late. March 10 I called and the order had not shipped and was told the table still needed painted the order would ship a few days late. After talking with a manager and explaining this was the second time I have ordered an in stock item only to find out it was not I cancelled my order and will not order again. Just wanted to pass on the experience so this could be avoided.
  21. i was looking at the Dakota V and the Pro Series. I figured the main difference between the two was Van Dykes stamp on the side of the Pro. Thanks for the advice guys.... i'm sure she will appreciate it.

  23. i'm getting my wife a flesher but not sure what to buy. I want to stay under $1000 and electric any suggs.
  24. My friend found this shed in an area we hunt. He was unable to find the other side so far...so I told him not to worry I would show him both sides next October
  25. 12 pt with 8" bases grosses nicely, and two weeks later my wifes main frame 12 with split brow tines.....told her she is hanging her own stands for now on!!!
