    Coffee Pots

    We have a Bunn here at work double burner type very good pot.
  2. I dusted off my antique Hoyt Pro Vantage Tracer with recurve style limbs set at about 67 pounds in its day a very fast and forgiving bow. I put new strings on and still stacking them in consistant out to 40 yards even after not shooting it for over 3 years. I use a finger tab and have a set of tru glow sights and a hunter style peep,very basic set up. I shoot 100 grain 4 blade muzzys on gold tip arrows this ol bow is about 19 years old and has killed several deer and a couple hogs most with pass through shots some out as far as 42 yards. I know I should go with something newer . I had went to a more modern set up for a few years and used a release with it I sold it back last summer with plans to buy something newer and faster but still have the forgivness so I can still use fingers just didn't work that way. My back up bow is a Bear Kodiak recurve 60#s now that is basic LOL
  3. It won't scare them at all but every coon and hog in the county will smell it i know coons love soured corn and once they find your feeder you will have trouble from now on lol.
  4. Well placed shot and sharp broadhead kills the deer not the name on the bow.
  5. Yes i've had to do it .22 behind the ear is the fastest humane way does not make it any easyer.
  6. I don't mind crossbows in the hands of ethical educated hunters. Problem is and I know of one personaly a coworker. They have the "now I can hunt archery season" since they never learned how to or could shoot a bow. It has opened the door to alot of folks that would have normaly never been in the woods some for the good some for the bad. Way to many people think they can shoot a deer farther than they ever need to try but thats with all season's . I hunt mostly private lands owned by family I do however bow hunt some on public lands and I have friends who all they have to hunt on is public.Some are hunted hard others not so much I am curious to see how many "newbie's" show up not saying that its bad they have just as much right to hunt there just takes away from the solitude of archery season and you have to wonder how safe some of these hunters are ( always a concern)
  7. It rained here in Oklahoma City all morning and cooled off to was over 100 now high 70's
  8. The 60" is the length of the bow standard practice is to subtract 4" from that to give string length you need 56" string. Check these guys out they can help you www.3riversarchery.com all they handle is recurve and longbow

    Hey okies

    I'll give it a look :yes:
  10. I've used Acorn rage with good results also rice bran is even more powerfull than corn mix the to every doe in town will know your feeder location which will bring the boys in tow. Rice Bran is in most all of the attractants just hard to find but alot of feed mills carry it . Used deer cain with mixed results I think it depends on what all minerals are in the soil in the area. Tried several types of urine with mixed results. Tarsals from another buck work real well if they aare fresh. The trails end #307 in a bottle by the urine it smells like liquorish (sweet anais oil) works trigers curousity
  11. Acorns are spotty here in Oklahoma kind of figured they would be last year was a bumper crop even the old timers said it was the most acorns they had ever seen made it rough to patern there feeding and they never did hit corn feeders good not the big boys anyway.
  12. I've shot 4 blade 100 grains last 2 years with great results fly very true and cut cut cut very good pass thru penitration.
  13. My last post was copied and pasted from Daily Oklahoman papers here in OKC go to newsok.com and read more about it and what Gov. said When you read this years hunting regulations there will all the info needed.
  14. As luck would have it my hound dog hunting buddy's female had 10 bluetick pups yesterday naturaly her dog house was getting flooded so he moved them inside all doing well this morning. One or two of them will be my winter project lol.
  15. Here is a full list of what all changes were made some include out of state hunters. A layaway system for buying lifetime hunting and fishing licenses: Lifetime licenses sold to persons under the age of 18 can be paid for through installments over a three-year period, in a manner to be determined by the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation. The license will not be issued until full payment is completed. No more trout license: The trout license will be eliminated. The money lost will be offset by increasing the price of non-resident fishing licenses. One deer license per season for non-resident hunters: Instead of having to buy several deer licenses during a season, non-resident hunters now will be able to buy one $279 deer license for that specific season (archery, muzzleloader or gun). One more day of fishing: The five-day non-resident fishing license will be extended to a six-day license. Pick your year: Hunters can choose to buy a hunting license that runs from the calendar year, Jan. 1 to Dec. 31, or the fiscal year, which runs from July 1 to June 30. Some hunting seasons overlap, so buying an annual hunting license that would run from July to June will keep hunters from having to remember to renew during the season. A break for military personnel: Anyone on active duty in the United States Armed Forces will be able to buy a resident hunting or fishing license in Oklahoma. Senior citizens get more benefits: All the benefits that regular lifetime fishing and hunting license holders have will be extended to senior citizen lifetime licenses. For example, senior citizen license holders now would receive all of the deer licenses as part of their lifetime licenses, just like regular lifetime license holders. Trapping now included: Lifetime license holders also will be exempt from having to buy the trapping license. All trapping licenses will be extended to the end of February.
  16. Crossbows are now legal for all Oklahoma hunters. Crossbows and conventional bows with draw lock devices that permit bows to be held mechanically at full or partial draw are now legal for hunting during Oklahoma archery seasons. Gov. Brad Henry on Tuesday signed Senate Bill 1594 that allows all hunters to use crossbows where conventional bows are allowed. The law is effective immediately so crossbows are legal for the antelope archery season, which opens Sept. 14, and the deer and bear archery seasons, which open Oct. 1. Previously, only Oklahoma hunters ages 60 and older or those with a permanent disability who could not use a conventional bow were allowed to hunt with crossbows. SB 1594 was passed in the final days of the legislative session.

  20. Good luck with your pup I don't have any experience with retreivers or any bird dogs but have trained a few tree dogs sounds like you are heading the right direction. I can appreciate a good hunting dog of any breed and working dogs as well. I have a 4 year old English Coonhound good hound and a 3 month old Treeing Walker pup (my project) both females. Oh and wife has a poddle that is really a smart little dog and good friend.
