Opinion   Part of my enjoyment of the bow and muzzleloader seasons was a feeling of stepping back to a time of our ancestors. I feel that with the technology of laser sights, compound bows being not much less than crossbows, and blackpowder weapons that are almost guaranteed to shoot 100% of the time we are losing any connection to primitive weapons!

Tip   Tying a tampon to a paper clip is a great way to dispense your favorite deer attractant. Bending the paper clip a little will  allow you to hang it on a tree limb. Be careful when applying the scent to the tampon as it will absorb the entire bottle. J. Tittle  MO
