Hate to be a total dick but the crossbow and now airbow thing is getting out of hand. It's one thing if you sustain an injury after a draw but putting in for archery knowing you can't shoot a bow.... I guess any advantage right? End justifies the means etc. 40 year old guys who can pack out an elk but can't draw a bow? Whatever

No plate. And yes they knew I was there. Unfortunately some people suck. Good news is, I still had a ton of elk come into that water hole. Just none big enough. Some that I regret not shooting. Any ways, I called in a little 5x5 on day 13 and decided to fill my tag. So the hunt was still a success. Not the 330 I was after, but better than tag soup. I did get my arrow in the big bull, but did not kill him. I looked for 2 full days and no sign of him.

PJ trailer is literally the best trailer for the money. All these guys saying Rockland is the best...no. They are angle steel trailers. Cheap as they come. PJ are Channel, way the heck stronger and angle. Not even a comparison. I drove to Amarillo and bought one cheaper than rockland, 3 times the trailer.

There are plenty of respectable people out there on side by sides, so I don’t want people to think this is a bash. There are plenty of douche bags in trucks too. But I did want to share something I learned this hunt. I was in elk every single day. If I had a caller, it would have ended very different. Doing this stuff solo is tough. But after being inside of 50 yards on a bull every day on this hunt, I got to see elk behavior like I never have before. Every morning I was up and in my spot listening to bugles an hour before the sun came up. This usually consisted of a 1-3 mile hike. And that was just to get in place to start chasing. Every morning something else would also happen. Just before light the majestic sound of bugles all around, would stop at the sound of a side by side. You can hear those things a dang mile away!! They are not elk magnets. The elk actually shut up, and move away from the sound. It’s amazing. As soon as the side by side noise would disappear, a single mew would fire everything right back up. So maybe this will help someone, or maybe no one will care, but elk respond to your rig. Loud trucks same thing. But the quiet vehicles never had quite the same response. It was cool to experience.

Sorry for the sideways pictures... looks like it started somewhere where the pavement ends on seven springs road...Has already burned over the top of Kentuck mt and looks like it’s real close to the horseshoe lake rd maybe already past...unbelievable how’s fast it’s going

It looks too light weight. You really want something sturdy and heavy.

Sitting water is the one sure way to have negative interaction with fellow hunters & the general public. Expect it.

Come on guys! 50% the price of new for 25% remaining life is a bargain.

Nice bench, I like the bottom shelf set back like that. and the thickness of the 2 shelves on the top. I suggest using clamps on the loaders and powder dump untill you figure out how it fits your needs, otherwise your going to have a bunch of holes drilled in that bench. also depending if your right handed or left hand will depend on how you want them mounted. other than that, its too small, youll see why in a month or so. if you got kids, make them bunk with each other or give them a tent in the back yard and take over there room LOL. I have a 13x16 foot garage with a/c in the back yard and its no where near big enough for my loaders, brass hulls etc etc, its close when all the house storage stuff is out. which I plan on doing tonight after work since its cooling down. Just realized something, add some better bracing to the front edge of the table, maybe some angled piece's coming off the side legs. lots of down force in that area., generally you want 1.5" to 2" of sood for the tops, I used 8 foot solid wood office doors there llittle over 1.5" thick.

MrMogollon, kwet239 and BeardownAZ all great sellers.

A couple different kinds of bulls from tonight.

We switched mountain ranges and are doing better the last couple of days. We had bulls screaming below us last night and they were still there when we got back today. We have chase for 1.25 miles but blew it right as we were closing the distance. Then we had a giant tank of a bull walk within 120 yds of us while glassing tonight. Then right at dark two spikes came in to a wallow we were sitting. I called one to 49 yds but he caught Jon drawing and there was no shot. It was a great day chasing elk in a beautiful place.

More to do with the angle than the broadhead. My recommendation is take nothing but a broadside to quartering away shot with a bow. People will crucify me for saying that. I know tons of animals are killed every year quartering to or frontal, but that is my rule. I killed a bull in 2013 that I watched come toward me from 100 yards. Stood in a wallow tearing it up 27 yards away, walked to me to less than 10 yards...never better than quartering to. I actually said to myself "Is this really going to happen? Is he going to be this close and I don't get a shot?" I waited and was blessed when he got nervous and jumped. Stopped quartering away at 25 yards. Dead bull. Just my personal rule. I would rather lose an opportunity than wound an animal. Crucifying commence.

My thoughts, it’s an elk they’re tough.
