Missed an 8 pointer

[crazyice]

With my truck! On my way home tonight from some evening muskie fishing, and dumb thing stopped right in my lane and looked right at me as I was stopped waiting for him to pass. I am thinking that he was chasing something in heat though, he had some serious foam dripping from his mouth!

I did think about hitting him though! I have good insurance, and I can't bowhunt this year due to shoulder surgery...

I guess the only real reason for this post though was I am sure he was chasing a hot doe with all that frothing, I sure wish I was able to be out in the woods. For those of you out there, get one for me!

have you tried getting a permit to use a crossbow

Can't shoot that either. I have thought of it, but I am fairly certain that I wouldn't be able to get it. I'm not really disabled, just injured I suppose. Either way I wouldn't be albe to lift it up to shoot it properly anyway.

you can get a 1 year crossbow license. in fact, that's what they give out most of the time anyway.

wait, you can fish for muskies but you can't shoot a crossbow? man, those lures are huge, i would think musky fishing gives a better shoulder workout then even bow hunting.

I didn't get so lucky avoiding a deer. I nailed a fawn last night. actually, the fawn nailed the side of my truck. no harm, to the truck. in fact, it scraped some of the mud off the side and now there's a clean streak where the deer hit

Ive actually heard that its pretty easy to get a crossbow permit as well, and a medical reason is good enough. Ive also heard that anyone with glasses or contacts can easily get a permit to put a scope on a muzzle loader!!
