I killed my one and only bull with a Swhacker 1.5" cut. I've also killed 4 Javelina and 1 Mule Deer with the Swhackers. Everything has died within sight, which is good because about half of them didn't have good blood trails. Now, I was using a 480 grain arrow for the Elk. The arrow hit a rib square, split the rib in half and still got through both lungs. 21 yard shot, slightly quartered to. A friend of mine shot a huge cow elk from 90 yards with a Swacker that did the exact same thing on the rib. His actually stuck in a rib on the opposite side. Again 450+ grain arrows. I also know of one of the best archers in the state that lost 3 elk in 1 year. He was using a 3 blade mechanical that was similar to a Spitfire. He was using a 350 grain arrow, not one of those 3 shots penetrated enough to kill an elk. I'm sure there are some success stories out there of killing elk with light arrows but it's going to fail you at some point. I'll take a 500 grain arrow moving at 260fps over a 330 grain arrow moving at 315fps all day every day. Heavy arrow, ANY sharp broadhead, good to great shot angle = Dead Animals.

Probably around end of August after all the extensions for CC problems. Wish they could find a way to charge the cards up front to keep from having these issues over and over.

Every year I say I'm going to hunt in August and then I remember it's 110 degrees and stay home. Think I'll just help 5GuysHunting get that beer away from his dog.

Archery (compound)- 1 Coues Deer, 2 Mule Deer, 1 Bull, 4 Javelina. Archery (traditional)- 1 Javelina, 1 Cow Elk. Rifle- 1 Mule Deer, few Coyotes Been hunting off and on for 25 years, with a 4 year break for college where I didn't have time. Been taking it serious for the last 5 years, pretty much didn't kill anything for the first 20 years. lol

ttt I just found the 3rd magazine too, knew I had one but it was hiding.

Glock 20SF. Less than 100 rounds through it, carried it hunting quite a bit. Some bluing fading on the slide release. 2 Mags, plastic case, standard stuff that comes with all Glocks. I would trade for a Glock 29SF or sell for $550. Safariland Duty Holster for Model 20, 20SF, 21, or 21 SF- $80 Leather holster for Model 20, 20SF, 21, or 21 SF- $45

$3250

I had my first antelope tag last year, an archery tag. I used the Be the Decoy on about 7 stalks, not once did they come to me. About half of them took off running and the other half just stood and stared at me out of bow range. I was trying to get inside of 150 then pop my head out with the goad hat on and get them to charge in but they never did. Tried the cow once too but that scared the crap out of them too. I probably could have killed that buck if I would have left the cow behind because the junipers were pretty thick where I was. I got to 100 before they even saw me lugging the cow decoy around.

It is, I love this little thing, can't wait to get a 4 door to have a little more room for overnight trips. I've had this for about 2 years and it's great to zip around the desert with. The wheel base is similar to a 4 seat ranger and I would bet it will go just about anywhere a range could.....plus drive on the highway. Oh and has AC, Heat, and a roof!!

I forgot to add: The last picture is the spare tire mount that broke around the welds the other day. Anyone that can weld should be able to fix it in a few minutes, or just take it off and put the spare on the roof rack.

I did mine the day it opened and worked fine but a buddy of mine was trying just a few minutes ago and it wouldn't even work at all.

Texas Bluebonnet Shrub..............I think.

Had another trade pending but haven't heard back again. $500

I didn't get a receipt emailed to me like I usually do after I applied for deer, turkey, or buffalo. Anyone else have this problem?

Hope this goes better than the Elk/Antelope draw.

Year round Javalina? I didn't know that, I'll look into that. I wish I could find those Feral Hogs, I would chase those with my stickbow all year.

I have 2 big game kills with a stickbow. I wish I hunted with it more but it's hard to practice with it when everyone around you has compounds.

2" Blazers will stabilize the arrow fine if your bow is tuned properly. Fusions will work too if you can stand to fletch them up, I hate fletching those things.

Thinking about running over to Mesa this weekend on the 17th, still looking for a Glock 29SF.

Let me know if you have one for sale, I'm in Safford but can make a trip to Tucson or Phoenix on a weekend.

7E is the unit I've hunted elk in the most. There are some places where I didn't take any binoculars at all with me, just used my Leica rangefinder. There are some places where a spotting scope would come in handy though because there are some big hills to glass where the bulls go after people chase them out of the flatland/junipers. Like said above, if you are just looking for a bull just stick with what you have. If you're trying to field judge you'll want a spotter. I don't ever use a spotter until I'm trying to find out if an animal is big enough to shoot.

I drew the early rifle WT hunt in 23. Spent the last few hours searching the internet and can't find what I'm looking for. Is there anyone out there making maps for New Mexico similar to Flatline maps in Arizona? I don't know this unit at all but should be able to spend quite a bit of time over there this summer. Would sure like to get a good map first though. I'm spoiled in AZ with Flatline maps and Recreational Access Arizona on the internet.
