MULEPACKHUNTER

Irish cool aide next time I promise.

My machine will work as well if needed.

Ben Lilly was the guy I was thinking of. I thought he was called the hermit of the gila. May be wrong guy. I thought I remembered reading he hunted some of the last Grizzlies in New Mexico. Still a good story either way.

What's the length on the case?

Wow, great timing. Who picked that date? A vegan anti-hunter? I guess most AZ Elk hunters who didn't draw can go so maybe not too bad a date. I had a recipe in my head until I looked at the calendar.

Very cool and it sounds vary familiar as I have a similar story. Congrats on your new path.

Draw board stand completed and I decided to add the bow vise to one end for double duty.

So so excited right now. Just finished up day two in the oven / garage building my own bow press. Already swapped my peep out and re did the center serving. Such a great tool to have on hand.

Draw board and paper tune set up close to done. Just need a stand for the board.

Oh man that's a good idea. Your fingers look better than mine too.

Added a purchased item to the bow press, all I need now is to add a draw board to the press or maybe a separate unit. This vise is money.

Man very bummed for you guys , hope everything comes out ok.

Well the fun has come to an end boys and girls, out of 500 employees we had one enlightened soul who put the smack down on us shooting in the parking lot. We work weekends for a reason and this dude doesn't even work with us but heard about our fun and would have none of it. More and more I see my self like Charles Bronson in a remote cabin far from enlightened people. I guess the old fat guys can go back to the roach wagon and sitting waiting to die

Someone finally hit the center red, only took 100 arrows.

First time serving , the start was a little hokey but the back serve came out sweet. 20 minutes to break to test it.

Ya I don't think we will be hunting any time soon with recurves, I just pushed a couple guys at work into archery and they shoot for fun. This is the only time I can get them to shoot. I've been pushing them to try javi hunt this year but just walking to get their arrows at 25 yards is rough on them. "Old fat guy walk" it's better than them sitting in the break room I guess.

Break time, second group was much better then it went south from there

Another hot one at the range. Not a soul in sight. Put the final touches on my partners 2 bows and launched some broadheads out to 80 yards. Other than a few bad releases and some wind drift I think it's up to him now. Both the T-Loc and G5 heads hit the same so not sure which he will run but guessing the G5. Maybe both.

Ya we have hunted 6b the last 3 years with various tags and it's been really really tough. We backpacked and do base camps and really put the effort into it. So far only one cow elk came from about 10 days of scouting and over 20 days of hunting pretty hard. I did have a really young mule deer at 75 yards on last years muzzy hunt but passed and I regret that a little. You really have to know the unit well for it to be productive. Do a ton of scouting and work hard , there are deer there but the majority are going to be in thick nasty stuff and hard to hunt. We saw more whitetail than mule deer.

Any geology majors know what the heck is going on here ?

The whole thing is the size of a quad.

4 days of riding and camping in the cool empty pines. A little lonely but mom came by to visit and I brought plenty of books. Pretty cool I took mom for her first ever mule ride and only her second time on horseback in 40 years. We came upon a coyote which we followed from way back and she led us to her den full of pups, so cool to have mom see that. Came across two separate bands of "wild horses" and snagged some good video. There are horses in some of these pics but phone doesn't make it good to see them It's super dry up there but the tanks have good water. It's just dry everywhere else. Be careful with flames and heat. I chose no fire for the week but I could have legally had one.

Here's some of the wild bunch

Awsome man. Those are some big fish for that river.
