My youngest son and I have had a great season in Oklahoma with our crossbows. Both of us scored our best bucks ever, and I culled a big OLD 7 point. 159.75" 186.25" cull 7 point

My brother has a Photon, and I have a Pulsar N750. Optical quality-wise, the N750 is hands down better, but the Photon trumps it by being smaller and lighter. I don't plan to get rid of my N750, but I will more than likely add a Photon.

I'm a member of several "hunting" boards, and it appears that hunters either already hunt hogs or dream about getting an opportunity to hunt hogs. This thread gives those who dream about hunting hogs the ability to live vicariously through those of us who do hunt hogs.

My "one that got away" was last year, but I remedied the situation this year.:cool:

I'm finding the pigs around my place to be much less consistent in their movements, and they are moving more in "upland" areas than in the creek bottom.:scrutiny:

I've actually seen two big cats in my 40 years of hunting. The first was definitely a "cougar" on a ranch between Dilley and Cotulla in south Texas, and the second was a darker pigmented big cat on a friend's mother in law's farm about 25 miles north of my house. We found some really dark...

I grew up in the '70's bird hunting in NW Oklahoma, and it was a far from "gentile". When we had a dog, it was my uncle's dumbass pointer that pointed halfway decent but wouldn't find a dead bird if his life depended on it, so I ended up hunting for the dead birds. My Dad had an old Remington...

2014 Oklahoma crossbow buck and fall tom turkey with a 10" beard.

I've had my BBF a few years now, and all I'll tell you is that a set of barrels today costs more than I paid for my gun.

Mine is a Blaser BBF97 12 ga over 308.

I've woke myself up snoring many times, and I'm not ashamed.:neener:

I have killed quite a few deer in the last 30 years, and the most special and memorable came off family land. Congratulations on a great buck!!!

I own a few high end Blaser rifles and have hunted with them, but my current "go to" rifle is a Winchester M70 featherweight in 270 win built in 1961. I traded for it a few years ago and replaced the original wood stock with a McMillan and topped it with a 20 year old Leupold VariX III 4.5-14...

I absolutely love Trailcampro.com, and their recommendations have been very reliable. I have three cellular game cams that I use on my place in OK, and that's all I can afford of them. I wanted a couple "cheap" cameras for my place behind my house, and the guys at TCP.com recommended the...

Wow! 142? From that picture, I'd have never guessed there was that much bone. I was going to say 125-130 max.
