RE: Some thoughts on prepping for hunting during a SHTF situation.

in #blog4 years ago

I bought mine online, and rebuilt it here. It was $39, but a more functional one (without the hand work) will run about $150. Get at least 120 pound draw, and when you go above about 160 pounds you need a tool to cock it easily. Get good bolts, cheap ones shatter on the higher draw bows.

Then have fun!

And this will be to kill zombies when the stuff supposedly hits the fan?

I have been using it to put deer on the table. It is an impressive weapon, and a real flat shooter.

Zombies (AKA liberals) would taste terrible I'm sure, LOL!

Did you make your chain link gate? Thinking about using that Idea at the homestead.

I think you should save the deer for in case the collapse happens. I didn't get a chain link gate but I think you should put one together and send photos of it.

There is about 4000 acres of public hunting land around Keystone lake, and it is the only place I have actually heard two bucks fighting over a doe, but I usually hunt does (better in the pot).

I will make the gate, but it is low priority with getting moved and setup.

You usually hunt does huh? Sounds kinda cold-blooded to me. lol. We have them here but heaven help anyone who tries to shoot them because Mrs. J. considers this property to be a sanctuary for the wildlife. Except snakes, they have to die.

There are more doe tags each year here than buck. I can take eight or ten, but I don't need that many. I refuse to waste this, as I don't like to shoot them if I can avoid it. I would like to pressure can one, that wouldn't need to be frozen.

I agree with poison snakes, but I let the others run free.

Sir smithlabs! Canned venison. Never heard of that. Like in glass jars?
