Re: Outdoor Sports (hunting, fishing...)

Well a good icefishing season is coming to an end. This year was the best in a while because we actually had ice which even now is safe to fish on. I will be adding some new pics soon including a Trophy pike that is now hanging on my wall. Im going out today to enjoy the last days of this season-hope i catch a bunch for dinner and will post more pics if i do.

Re: Outdoor Sports (hunting, fishing...)

Well i caught dinner and a couple huge fish which i released(will have pics soon). I plan on going out again today but i wanted to mention how crappy iphones are for the outdoorsman. In less then an hour of being outside the iphone stops working because of the cold. I am afraid to see what would happen if it actually was exposed to moisture. You all know how crappy the battery life is on these things but for an outdoorsman these pfones are almost useless. My iphone is an iphone3 i think-are any of the newer iphones any more resiliant? I like taking pictures and texting with iphones but for me it does not work when i need it the most. My son and i were icefishing and i caught a huge and very colorful pumpkinseed sunfish but i could not take a picture because the phone had frozen up. My wife calls me a million times then starts freaking out caus i dont answer but i never got the call caus the phone froze up.... Anyone know of a phone that i can use for testing and taking pictures and it wont freez up like an iphone?

Re: Outdoor Sports (hunting, fishing...)

Got the same problem up here in N Alaska . At 40 below it don't take long to freeze anything .
I do the layer system for clothes and keep phone , lighter etc close to my body underneath layers .
Works like a charm for initial first minutes .

Re: Outdoor Sports (hunting, fishing...)

These xbows are getting better every year. This one is shorter and not as wide as its previous models. This cuts down on overall profile and allows for more mobility especially in blinds.This puppy shoots 380fps and it was getting way more penetration into the target then any of the other guys at the shooting range. I shot one into the dirt at 20 yards in my yard and never did find the arrow. The cool thing about this year was that i took a lot of kids fishing and for many of them it was their first catch, its cool watching kids get acquainted with nature.

Re: Outdoor Sports (hunting, fishing...)

No luck yesterday. I found a beautiful apple tree with lots of delicious apples all over the place and some had been chewed up by deer. I stayed there much of the day but no signs of deer. I gathered some of those nice apples and went home at dusk.

At least you didn't go home empty handed.

Haykakan have you zeroed your crossbow with your optics......I am not sure at what range they set those at but I would guess 25 meters or less. looks like yours is a scope and not a red dot correct?
