  1. The sounds of trains at night in Williams. I had many summers up there with my grandpa listening to those trains. They are loud but good memories. Good luck on your hunt.

    2025 12AW Deer Hunt

    Thanks for the read and congratulations. We head up there in a little over a week for the late hunt. Hopefully they will be moving and it will be a good experience for my boys.
  3. I made a few changes to my bow, so I am looking to lighten my spare parts load. Below is a list and they are all OBO. All parts are functional with no issues. - Tight Spot OD Black Quiver - This has the Mount and is in good shape. It is secure and pretty light. SOLD - MBG Sight - This is a 5 pin with the top 2 pins at .19 and the bottom 3 at .10. It has a roller and I have spare tapes. The sight has been great, just doesn’t fit in the Mathews Bridgelock or I would use it. SOLD - Beestinger Side Mount Stabilizer - This stabilizer is nice since it is functional but doesn’t put anything in front of the riser. Some paint wear on the weights. I have used this for a while, just moved to the Bridgelock. $70 - QAD Rest - This has been on my bow for a few years with no issues. It has all the equipment and will fit on any bow, not just the Elite. $100

    Bipod with MLock

    A friend bought me the Tricer Bipod, so this one came off of my Sig Cross. It has been great and there are no issues with it. I had it installed with the MLock. It is only 12 ounces and extends frim 8-11 inches. $30 OBO

    Bipod with MLock

    Yep. I have coached his son for three years. I am also helping him with his 23 hunt in a few weeks. Sometimes you get lucky in life I guess with something I would never buy for myself.

    Axcel Driver bow sight for Mathew's bridgeock

    Considering. Just bought a lift x in Shale. Wish the sight was a little darker.
  9. Eberlestock Team Elk Pack - This pack has been great and I used it in a lot of hunts. It has a built in scabbard that is great to carry a rifle, or a tripod and chair when bow hunting. All of the zippers work and the buckles are all in good shape. The built in meat chela that is framed makes it easy to pack animals out with gear. $150 OBO Badlands Bino XR - This pack is pretty much new, I think I used it one time. It works great with enclosed bino and rangefinder pouches that are magnetic, plus other zippered storage pockets. This is a perfect harness for the late hunts to keep gear safe. $100 OBO

    Elk Rut Update

    Well, it got better but that day was a phenom. We got on bulls each day but no love for calls, just letting us know they were there at the bottom of the canyon or moving fast in the AM. Only found one herd with active satellites, which was the day it turned on. Rain on Monday did not help any. I have been out in the woods in rut every year since 2012 and this was by far the slowest rut I have seen. After trying to sneak in on a few bulls yesterday, my son was getting stressed about school and took a smaller bull. He is a great shot and shot a bull with two cows at 75 yards. The bull went about 100yards from the shot. On such a tough hunt I told him not to be upset with the size, be thankful for the opportunity. Two archery bulls by 16 years old, proud of him. Now he will focus on his 12AW late tag and then my other son’s late 23 tag. Still got a lot of memories to make this season!

    Elk Rut Update

    Like a light switch today. Bugles all day, chasing them in the morning and could hear bugles from the wallow all day. Nice they are gong in their own with a few days left.

    Elk Rut Update

    I am in the elk woods every year and have been successful either hunting or helping in 16, 17, 19, 20, 21, 22, and 23. This is the slowest rut O have ever hunted. Over half the days no bugles and others very limited and far. Had one close encounter with some back and forth. Areas that are historically very active are near silent. your days left for my son, hopefully he gets a shot.
  13. Bump, a great pack and bino harness. Prices are OBO.

    OTC Archery Deer Advice

    If you are planning on 21 it will be hot and watch for snakes. There are opportunities there, but it will require some work and early mornings to get the some of the better spots. You will also need to know what spots have water, so it will be some scouting or just some luck if you roll up.

    Where to buy utility trailer?

    I just bought mine from Erick Anderson on Facebook. It is the size and description you listed, hook shackles, and it towed great last weekend. It was $3475 OTD.

    Any Alamo reports

    We were there as well for the tournament but caught most on action baits.

    Any Alamo reports

    The fishing has been good but there have been a lot of tournaments. We caught 70 in two days last week and did well in the tournament. Fishing slowed down a lot the second day when the weather rolled in.
