Story to follow. I have some packing to do.

Before you go, know that I am an above average hunter with extreme local knowledge and it took me 20 to 30 days to shoot a spike. Weapon choice was a .54 caliber Hawkins for two reasons, first I like to challenge myself. Secondly, some passive aggressive ahole on here question my use of a 3030 last year so I wanted to go older and slower with my weapon choice. Since mid June I spent my time chasing two of the three full size bulls I've seen with only a couple of sightings of them. The only pictures I got of them. If I was using a standard weapon shooting the now standard 1/4 mile my taxidermy bill would have gone up. I even set up a blind at the closest water source and sitting there half a dozen evenings, only seeing cows. Realizing that my obligations to some friends I said I would help is coming up shortly and my wall space for elk is becoming limited (my last two bulls live in my garage now) I told myself just have fun and get some meat. Thursday I am sitting an overlook when a calf pops up and then a cow and then a bunch of cows and then I see a couple of spikes. The conversation with myself goes on for a couple of minutes of going down there for a spike was intense and heated. I decide to try. Doing the perfect stalk I get to 40 yards or so as the sun is setting and miss. I spent a couple of hours that night and that next morning looking for evidence of a hit. Nothing 20240711_192306.mp4 Saturday evening rolls around and I go back to that spot so I could have cell signal to listen to the assignation attempt. Saturday morning my good bulls didn't show up in their spot. I actually leave early so I can eat a non microwaved dinner. I am almost half way back to the truck when I hear some calves yapping back in forth. I decided to check it out after another lengthy conversation if I wanted to see some cows. I see them weaving through the cedars and I get closer, fully expecting to create a stampede. I get under 40 yards and the spike I shot at on Thursday jolts and stops about 30 yards from me. I settle in offhand and squeeze. Spike drops instantly. The round ball turned into a pyramid shape. Sometimes it's good just to hunt for fun and I need to remember that. 20240711_192306.mp4 20240711_192306.mp4

We are hosting a classroom Hunter Education class in Flagstaff. There are currently 19/40 signed up. It starts next Thursday, July 18. All information, including dates, times, locations, and lead instructor contact info (its not me this time) is in the link: https://www.register-ed.com/events/view/213707 I will be helping organize things, but another instructor is the lead instructor for this class. We will not be taking online students for the field day on Sunday because we don't have enough instructors to maintain the required student-instructor ratio per AGFD policy. Saturday's session will be outside, weather permitting, at the ramada across from the Flagstaff Archers Range on Ft. Tuthill County Park. BBQ lunch (burgers and hot dogs) will be provided for lunch on Saturday to all participants.

I think I found a new way to sell guns. Sell $750 worth of raffle tickets for a $500 AR

I was today years old when I learned TT was located in the same zip code that I worked in for 18 years. Eddie

But his body didn't slide off after they shot him. They have alot of explaining to do. Yup

Secret service is saying the roofs are “dangerously sloped”! Holy Sh!t 2/12 or 3/12 slope at most! What patriots!

I could invite Donald to my house and have better security.

At the convention? Or near the security perimeter in the neighborhood where the convention is being held? acting weird? or wielding 2 steak knives at police officers? Are you a disinformationist? Are you you left a leftist agent?

The bulls by my house look to be at 90% or more compared to last years sheds

Try this: Seemed to work for him.

Here you go Billy. This was on his ride to his new home

If they fly and group good for you just send it and don’t worry about it. I shoot a similar setup and switched to 125gr a few years ago when I was overthinking and got concerned about calculating the FOC and its effect on penetration. Wasted a lot of time (my opinion) playing with that setup and worrying about the numbers. In the end I had better flight and groups with the 125gr so I stuck with it. Dead animals on my wall came from 100gr out of the same bow so that works too. 😁 dang I forgot to comment on your avatar…make like a Gator QB and send it just don’t be surprised when a Vol catches it! GBO! Sorry couldn’t resist…

Accuracy is way more important than weight and speed are.

People WAY overthink the arrow weight thing. Get a good quality arrow and broadhead, make a good shot, and good things will happen.
