Didn’t get a deer yet? There’s still time! Here's some tips to get you on a deer this year. UPDATE: I did manage to kill a nice doe with Bunjie III on December 3, 2021—the latest in the season I’ve ever killed a deer with a crossbow. Pretty cool! So—there is hope!!

Bunjie III and I are off to a bit of a rough start to our new hunting adventures. We’ve had some success, that’s for sure, but there’s been a few bumps in the road so far. This one particular day had a big bump and I talk about it here.

“Beware the man who shoots one gun.” That is a saying of unknown origin, but, man—to me, it says a lot!

Specialization makes you good at something. My favorite guitar players not only stick to one kind of music, but frequently play one guitar! Yngwie Malmsteen and Jimi Hendrix loved the Stratocasters. Both played a Flying V now and again, but the Strat was really their “one gun.”

For me, it’s similar with crossbows. I need to get more familiar with Bunjie 3.0 and make it my “one gun.”

Genevieve and I chat in the car about our Maryland hunting trip, and our take-a-ways from that great hunting experience!

In my book, The Death by Bunjie Crossbow Story: Confessions of a Crossbow Hunter, I wrote about how it was suggested to me a couple of years ago that Bunjie would come back to haunt me if I upgraded to a new crossbow. Is the Curse of Bunjie wrecking my season with Bunjie 3.0? This is a fun conversation Genevieve and I had on the way to Maryland.

I had a chance to hear first hand from Robert Bashaw of the Crossbow Hunting Podcast all about his successful bear hunt! Here is that phone conversation!

As Ravin struggles to get their groundbreaking R500 to market, let’s look at some good things Ravin has given us over the years.

YouTube took down my livestream about sighting in a crossbow. But it’s not the end of the world. Some good news here, too.

Well, well, well. Bunjie III isn’t just a funny looking crossbow after all. It’s also a killer instrument.

Speed Week! Crossbow Appreciation Month! These are the things that make August great!

At least that’s my biased opinion.

I had the great privilege of talking to Darren Cummings, an engineer who worked with Dr. Grant Woods on Growing Deer TV, about crossbows, maximum effective range, and deer jumping the string. He explains the research project he participated in, and the results.

Welcome to Crossbow Appreciation Month! August is Crossbow Appreciation Month—get your crossbow out and start celebrating it, will ya? Oh, and listen to this podcast. And while you’re at it, watch Death by Bunjie because we put out 31 videos in 31 days during this month, in preparation for the upcoming Crossbow Seasons!

In this episode, Genevieve talk about our goals as we get ready to put in some mock scrapes and licking branches to prepare for our upcoming seasons. I have a nice rant in here about anti-hunting legislation, too. It’s a fun one.
