My mom has the same problem. they come in and eat and tear her garden up all the time.

Sweet bird and agreed, Dead is dead. Congrats

I just got my Vortex Bob. Don't know what model you got but mine is the 6x24 50mm EBR1 FFP PST Viper. I haven't had a chance to shoot it yet but from EVERY review I have seen with except of maybe 3, and I have read hundreds, they all say it is one of the best scopes for the $. I will let you know my thoughts once I have used it.

Yes he did.

It's not a matter of feeling hurt. It's about what is an ethical shot without wounding and losing an animal because you watched a video or saw a friend get an animal with an amazing long shot. I think we owe it to the game to make a clean, quick kill without ANY chance of wounding or losing it. Will it happen from time to time? Yes it will, but I still feel we have a right as hunters to make the best call we can before slinging an arrow or taking a shot with a rifle and trying to be 99.9% confident with the equipment and yourself.

SOLD to bonecollector pending funds.

This is a great thread!!!!! God bless our troops and all that have given the ultimate sacrifice for this great country.

AKASPECIALS. I really don't like you now. You have been eating moose and none of us got an invite for dinner!! That's just wrong.

Had a friend who crossed a catahoula with a walker hound and that was an awesome dog. Bear, lion, work cattle. All around great working animal.

Was this an archery goat? Very nice either way but a goat with a bow is super awesome.

I agree. That doesn't look that bad as I worked in a body shop for a while. Even if the axle is bent they can replace it or straighten the frame if it's not bent to bad. Sorry it happened but Forrest was right. Good luck.

I was scouting for elk for an early rifle hunt in 4a a few years ago when an archery hunter camped down from me came to my camp the day before his hunt ends and asks if I could help him as he arrowed a nice elk and couldn't get him out. Being the ETHICAL person I am I say sure. At his camp was a 3/4 ton truck 2 wheel drive with a huge overhead camper and a little trailer about 4x6 to haul his Honda 90 that he hunted from. I follow him to where the elk is (a pretty rough road) and it's right on a tank where I had been scouting and set a ground blind. The elk was there and a nice 6x6 with a arrow wound about 2"- 4" down from his back and 1 1/2 feet forward of his hind end. He had hit it high in back and cut an artery with a terrible shot and got lucky it bled out quick. The bull didn't go 50 yrds. After talking a minute I find out that the day before he had arrowed a 7x6 and made another bad shot. I ask if he tracked it and found it and he said no as there was very little blood. He then says, and I quote, "While I was tracking it I saw another big 6 point and just missed it." I am in shock now. All this idiot was doing was flinging arrows at anything with horns. I really wanted to just walk away (after I had buried him) but the elk would have been lost so I winched the elk in my truck and got it out for him. This is not an isolated thing. This happens EVERY year. From where he was standing it was about a 75 yard shot. The point I am making is, This a$$hole got lucky and killed an elk, maybe 2, and would go out again and do the same thing. Did he practice a lot? Don't know. Was he shooting good equipment? Yes. Are there hundreds of em' like him hunting archery every year? Yes. Can anything be done about it? No. The shooters are the problem. The animal is the one that suffers along with the rest of the good, ethical hunters.

The guy that hit ya musta been trying to back his trailer up with his new autopilot

Let me know now as it's going in a yard sale tomorrow and I will be outta town. If you want it I will put it aside until I get back.

Hey maverick. I have a used just once API hang on I will sell you for $50. I have the safety harness I will throw in.

I owned one just like this. I could sit inside the fender well and change my plugs and points and time it on my ole' 1960 390 carburetor running beast. Never had a problem and it could climb a building. I miss my old hunting buggy. ahhhhh the good ole days when trucks were trucks.

Well put....I take back everything everyone has been jumping about.

Man I wish ya'll would learn how to turn your pics....My neck is killing me.

Would that be considered a 1x1 or a 2pointer?

Can I go?

Glad that was settled. I was kinda concerned. You really need to take the time and watch what you and your equipment is doing. Good luck

I shoot a Diamond COT with 100 PJP @ 300FPS with a DD rest. It hits 3ih with a DRP release and has a TMI. But I'll be an SOB if I try to kill anything @100 wheeeww. that was a mouthfull

saw this on craigs... not sure if still avail. https://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/spo/5012783027.html James That's a descent deal

Sorry to here about your loss. I have put down 3 in the past 10 years. Still hurts my heart to think about it. I still have 3 now. Wish I could help but my feed bill is high enuf. Great looking pups. Good luck.

It seems to be a cool product but I have had elk and deer walk right by me with good camo and scent control as well.
