We have a shoot this Sunday. Harry will be running it I will be at work. Come on out ans bring that trouble maker Beau.

Same here got it for most of the morning.

+1 Give it some time. My son and I had some Yahoo's shoot at a spike wt that had run up on us at about 5-10 yards while glassing.(With a rifle) I was pissed and ready to quit saying the same as you. I was done here! I also still blame it on to many tags in that unit. But by the time it comes to put in to hunt the next year time has passed and all your buddies are talking about what they are putting in for its hard not to give it on last try. I never forget about it but I have had a ton of great hunts and I'm going to do my best not to let G&F or a couple Yahoo's take that away from me.

On up hill or down hill shots you will take off yardage or aim low. You want to judge the target as it was strait out in front of you. On an step incline you may have 40 yards of ground between you and the target but if you were able to pick the target up so it was directly horizontal in front of you it may have only been 30 yards and that's what you want to shoot it for the horizontal distance. I have seen targets at 3d shoots that there is 50 yards of ground between you and the target but if you were to imagine that target directly in front of you and not down hill it would only be a 20 yard shot.

Almost forgot I also heard that G&F brought the helicopter in and busted up some herds in some areas around 7,8,and 9 before the hunt. But not sure how true that was.

We talked to a few locals in 7w that said there were herds of 50 to100 elk in the unit 3 weeks before the hunt. Then the holiday weekend came and there were herds of 4 wheelers, Rangers all over and the elk really thinned out or just went deep. Mix that and not much food and the heat it makes for a tough hunt.

Awesome! Glad Tony was able to pull it all together for at least one good shot in a year. We ALL know he can't shoot for crap. He needs to spend more time shooting and less time running in and out of that big hole up north!! Tell him Huge Congrats from me!! I don't see him much anymore since he got tired of me whipping his butt on the 3D course. Tell him he can come back now I moved to open class! :lol:

My oldest kid is right handed and left eyed and my youngest is left handed and right eyed. Both of them learned to shoot the same as there dominant eye with no problems. This may also help I use one of these. Not sure if it will help with the eye dominance thing but it should. http://forums.coueswhitetail.com/forums/in...l=double+vision

My buddy I grew up with skated goofy footed LOL! I have not heard that in years.

I would have him shoot with whatever eye he is dominant. In this case I would have him shoot right handed.If he is shooting a rifle right handed it should not be to hard for him. But you need to start him soon!!!!! He has got a lot of arrows to fling by Jan. in my opinion. And if you are not 100% sure he is ready by then I would have him wait. Just my 2 cents.

What friends?? You better hope I never get your password!! :lol:

They must be herded up this time of year maybe prerut LOL! I know a guy who saw a huge group of them during the archery deer hunt he said he lost count at about 50 and thought there may be around 80 of them. Never seen that many at one time.

117 6/8 Cool buck!

I see a trend here!

Hey Mark Congrats on the lion. I saw a lion today only mine was not close enough for a bow shot. I need my 270win. for a shot at this one. PM Sent

Have to agree with that. Hope someone can put him down before he suffers any more This deers pic really freaks me out!!!!!! I would shoot him but I think he may scare the bullet before it gets there!

Dude thats a scary looking deer!! I think someone forgot to let it know it was already dead!

+1 for Casey

Awesome Job Tyler And Great Shooting! All that 3D does help keep it up. Congrats on a Awesome buck

2 years at MV then I was one of the guys that left there for the first year at Red Mountain for my senior year. Great pics I hope to make it to Alaska some day soon. I will pack my Twinkies in my carry on.LOL

Ya they seemed to love the stuff. The way Hank seemed to be joking around about his certificate for shooting the third biggest buck ever shot I was not sure if was a true species of deer or if there was some kinda joke i was missing.

I have seen the same truck a couple times around University and the 202. Not sure who he is.

Thanks for all the great info guys/gals. The 15's are working great. I like em A LOT.

Any of you ever bow hunt this time a year with shorts on. As hot as its been the last couple days I hunted I'm seriously thinking of going in to my spot in shorts tomorrow. I know once I get to the water hole it will not matter. I know I will get a late start tomorrow and its about 2miles into my spot and I know it will be hot!. I have seen deer every trip in so far and not sure how a stalk would go in shorts. I know I sound like a whiner but I'm in 35 deg. cooler all day at work so I don't like the heat! :P What do ya all think?
