Hello. I am new to this site, but not to crossbow hunting. I have been hunting for 16 years with rifle, muzzle loader and crossbow. I have taken 5 deer with my crossbow, one of them last year will make the state record book.
I didn't get anything so far this season, but since archery season doesn't end until February 29th, I haven't given up yet.
I enjoy being outdoors with camera in hand.

Tree hugging is okay, as long as you are climbing to your treestand....

Thanks guys! We go through Conway once in awhile heading to Little Rock. I have to admit, I love this part of the country.

Never give up..I am still hoping to get some freezer meat before season ends.

Ar_Lady,
Hey, I live in Arkansas to... Mountain Home, right by Lake Norfork. I'm new to Crossbow, and Crossbow Nation, as well. Have a Barnett Wildcat C5, everyone seems to think it's a "starter" bow, but I put an arrow thru my work shed, LOL... (windy day), but I assume that kind of Kinetic Energy will down a Deer. Lots of public land to hunt around Bull Shoals and Norfork lakes, some areas are bow only. So I'm trying to learn as much as I can. Have only been out twice this season, saw 5 first time, all at dusk and 100 yds away. I bought the small Ghost Blind and am trying to make a Ghillie suit, I guess I like moving around??... will hunt Deer until Feb 29, then try for spring turkey.
Hope to compare notes with ya some time... any suggestions, (from anybody), most appreciated!
