HuntHarder

Going thru some of my videos from last season and found this guy. Video was around July 4th. Great bull, would have been even better if he matched. I know a few of you have some pictures of this bull last year, have any of you seen him this season?

BOTH!! That is the beauty of that hunt, both can be found on the same hillside.

I am thinking with how much rain we had, the bears may be spread out this year. I am debating doing the sunburn special..

Pretty good sized exit hole with lots of fragment marks. We watched him pile up about 75 yards away from where he was hit. I did not look for the blood trail because we saw him go down.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIU751swUD0 This was last years late bull hunt in Az. Bull was taken by my buddy Derek @ 450 yards using his 7mm. We had a sheep hunt to get to the next day, so the night before, we decided first legal bull was in trouble. It did not take long to spot this little guy and a well placed shot made for a quick morning hunt. I have some great videos from the years past, and I think I am going to try and start editing them and sharing them with you guys. The sheep hunt footage was pretty epic, just need to edit it all into one nice video.

If you like him, shoot him! Score is not that important if you like his look! Good luck on your hunt

Pretty sure it was either the 168 berger. I do not think bone was hit on entrance or exit.

coolers!!!

Agree. 170's, maybe more

Dang Jimmy! Almost got me wanting to shoot ducks again! Looks good, my next bird will probably have to go to your guy.

I am doing the change over right now, I used to use predator, Russell, cabelas or pretty much any camo out there. Over the last 2 years, I have started wearing more Sitka, core 4 element and recently kuiu. I am SOOOO much more comfortable in these. They breath better, are super quiet and allow you to stretch. Buy a few pairs of each and see for yourself if you like it. I am sure your body will, but your wallet will not..

Great Pics. Nice bulls!

score him from THAT pic???..

Now Jericho is going to kill Cecil's offspring and take over his Pride!!! It just gets worse... Seems like a great movie.

Why did you pull them?

Head into Sportsman's warehouse and look for Terry behind the gun counter, he knows a guy that does it.

I Encourage all of you to go into your preferences and add Str8 Shot to your ignore list. It is really easy to do, and then you do not have to read his negative, always the devils advocate opinions.

Rodgers?

Not to derail your post, but how do you like that Minox scope? I have seen them for pretty good deals, but I have never had the chance to look thru one. Nice looking rig!

I do blocks on bottom of cooler, bags to separate ice and meat, then 2 liter frozen bottles on top of meat and mixed in.

26m work permit here!

I use both a scope and 10x binos. 15's will never replace your scope. I suggest 12's and a scope. You may only use your scope for 10 minutes a day, but those 10 minutes might save you some miles of hiking to get a closer look. Good luck, and whichever way you go, you will have quality optics.

Maverick- That is a very odd way of practicing.. Seems counter productive to quit practicing after your first bad shot. Practice is just that, practice. By shooting one shot and stopping, you are not practicing. Muscle memory goes a long way with archery. I correlate it to, (do not laugh), Golf. Practice makes perfect, and shooting until you start to feel fatigued or your form has started to slip will never hurt. I usually stop shooting as soon as I feel any fatigue what so ever. After fatigue has set in, your body will try to overcome it, by adjusting small things; i.e. anchor point, spine angle, stance, and grip to name a few. I say shoot until you start to feel fatigued, and work your way up to shooting more shots each week. I agree with most, that starting with a few close warm up shots, then going to a longer distance that you are comfortable with and starting your practice there. Work your way closer. Good luck!

So that is what a bass that weighs more than 3 pounds looks like!!

It will depend on the city, best bet is to call your local police and simply ask. I know 5 or so years ago, I was shooting in the huge storm water run off wash in Peoria, and the police came and informed us that it was illegal to shoot down there. They were very cool about it, but I believe they had a statute in Peoria regarding archery in backyards and public places not intended for archery. Make a quick phone call or email, ( so you have it in writing) and shoot without worrying.
