I've done bow hunting but not crossbow hunting.  Only advice I have is do NOT skimp on the bolt heads.  Get as powerful a crossbow as you can reliably cock and then gets some razor-sharp broad-heads.  I'd go with carbon fibre blades with a heavy steel tip.  You're going to want something with enough mass at the point to burrow deep in and strong enough blades that will do some damage to the organs and not warp or deflect off bone or dense tissue.  Trust me, chasing through the woods after a deer that didn't drop cleanly sucks all kinds of balls.

Hunting supports habitat... dollars to supermarket chains supports what exactly?

The people who work there and the people who shop there.

Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

Well, why didn't you say so?

well you got me good with the response to the sorta rhetorical question I asked... you came at it from the employment/taxes angle... a good 3 pt. shot. So as martok indicated ... I segued with a meme that covered both supermarket shopping and hunting ala top of the food chain.

My doctor wrote me a prescription for daily sex.

My wife insists that it says dyslexia but what does she know.

if you only wound the animal and spend the rest of the day chasing it down trying to put it out of its misery.
That is,unless you enjoy that sort of thing....

he calls it Friday night at the bar.  ;)
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

It's not manly unless you use something like a bowie knife.

I was wondering when someone would 'correct' the oft held and fallacious view that euros have of American hunters.

Glad you made it....

By the way... hows the sweetest little baby girl in the world?

Get a nice camera, take the animal's picture, then pick up chinese food on the way home.
