Red Sparky

Oh..... I use those for fire starter.

As everyone has said do the same thing over the same way. I am like Mattys281 where I go over a list in my head every time I shoot. What I learned from throwing darts is do not fatigue yourself. You will start building bad habits if your muscles are tired and then they are very hard to break. You also have to be comfortable. I started with my bow on the lowest draw weight and practiced to get form and consistency down. Then I cranked the draw weight up slowly each week. So if you are shooting groups consistently low and left then it seems consistent. Check your arrow rest and where the arrow nocks to the string since you have checked the sight. Have the nocks been spun so a vane is hitting the rest? I always check to make sure the nocks are aligned with the cock vane or feather and that is up so I know I am clearing the rest.

Nobody frames it and puts it on the mantel until hunting season? I do so I can look at it every day until leaving then it goes in my wallet. It is the first thing on my check off list so I don't forget it

I have found some rubs like that but never the bull that made it. Also the rubs that get me going is where you find about a 4" diameter tree just completely shredded and broken off with branches every where.

Nice finds.

So many good choices. Go with what shoots well out of your bow. If it is sharp, accurate, and gets penetration then go for it. I shoot Slick Tricks.

I think it is a nobel idea but I bet someone would be able to hack it and put their own fingerprint on it so it would fire for them. I know when I had to check my daughters out of after school programs the fingerprint reader worked about 80% of the time. Decent gun safes keep firearms from being stolen, all my guns are in one of the three I have. Get rid of stupidity and you will drop "accidental" shootings.

Much better than what I would have said. I would have said she can't be that much of a vegetarian because beavers are animals.

Anybody use decoys? What I have done since I solo hunt is made partial decoys so it looks like a head or rump sticking out behind a tree. I just painted cloth with fabric paint on both sides and thin spring metal for shape. I can set them up as I need. That way I can cow call with a diaphragm mouth call and bugle with a pack bugle to sound like a little bull. I usually have the "decoys" about 50 yards behind me from where the bull is bugling but remember they like to come in downwind. If they see the "decoys" they think elk are there and will not usually hang up. Put on a show to make the big boys think a youngster might be beating them to the punch. The only problem is don't over call especially in a heavily hunted unit. You might get more hunters than elk. It also depends on what part of the rut you are hunting. If the elk are not rutting it does not work to use calls but this has worked for me pre-rut to rut and what some call the second rut where unbred cows come into heat again. If the bulls have their harems you can't get them to come in in this situation.

Look at all the hollywood stars and producers who have guns in every movie but are so anti-gun. Disney is the worst. Kids movies and anti-hunting in almost all of them. I took my daughters to the new Cinderella last weekend and so anti-hunting.

You talking pronghorn or exotic antelope? In Az or other location? If you are talking pronghorn in Az I put my money on that nice little one Flatlander got. I think I missed the final score though.

No I have never encountered this. Words of wisdom is to follow the advice of your attorney as he can interpret the order better. Advice is hunt alone and try to avoid him. If you do encounter him it is easier to S,S,S alone as most get caught by someone talking

I think the key that this post is making fun of happens on every forum. I am on here to learn about Coues deer since I finally saw two bucks here in NM and am interested in hunting them. I will have an archery tag for them this year in unit 23, non-Burro Mnts. if the draw is the same with more tags than hunters. I like reading other post and contributing when I can. What I see on every hunting forum is somebody gets a tag and their first post is I have never hunted this unit so where should I start and it always includes "NOT LOOKING FOR ANY HONEY HOLES.". This is bad forum etiquette. I think the members who have been on a hunting forum for a long time have formed opinions about other members. So get on and post long before you draw the tag and I bet you would get more help. I got burned once but have met some great hunters by helping NR's by having them apply for the tags I do and go on my hunts if they get drawn. So I help if I can and limit what I say if possible.

Just giving you a hard time! It is hard to keep it all straight. My punctuation needs to be better but I did not get good grades in English so let me rephrase----Diamond brand, Infinity Edge model, made by Bowtech

My favorite hunt is the same as my saddest hunt. 2007 I pulled one of five tags for a bull elk hunt. It was my favorite hunt since my dad went along after not going for about 5 years. It was the saddest hunt because he has given up hunting and not been back out. Now my favorite hunts involve my daughters so I hope I am doing the same for them as my father did for me.

So I am no archery expert but in my opinion I got a smooth accurate easy to shoot bow. I bought a new 2013 Hoyt Charger. I have no idea how fast it shoots since I increased the draw weight to 68#. I love it but I have not shot anything else but a PSE. I will not say one brand is better than another since I do not have the experience with other bows. It seems like you have the sight, rest, release?, and arrows for your draw weight and length. I bought my basic bow in 2013 for $549 and by the time I got done adding all the goodies it was just over $800. So the only reason I can see you upgrading is to get a smoother, more advanced bow that might increase your accuracy distance. Practice is the key and I am lucky to have set up a bow range in my back yard to 70 yards and shoot daily from March to October. I can group out to 70 yards but I got into bow hunting because I started stretching the muzzle loader out to 200 yards rather than under 100.

Looks the same to me but it appears he broke off the crab claw. You can see a bump where it should be. The right antler G2 and main beam appear to both be the same length and mass in each picture. As J.S.R. stated the G2 on the left side appear identical.

That's his wife???? I thought we had a verified chupacabra sighting!

I have already killed two centipedes and on scorpion in my house this year. Waiting for the mosquitos.

Yeah a completely different time. When my older daughter was 5 I caught a bunch of 18-20 year old punks stealing our Halloween decorations. She confronted them with tears streaming about stealing her pumpkin she carved herself. I chased them with a baseball bat but they could run faster than I could. Probably a good thing so I would not have a police record.

I would give you information for here in NM that has a 100% success rate and you would not wear out your boots but I am not a "premier" member even though I meet the minimum 40 year old mark.

You seem to have this site mixed up with NAHC. I did not upgrade from "life member" to "premier member" there either.

I bought my daughter a brand new Diamond Infinity Edge by Bowtech for Christmas for $300. The only reason I would recommend this bow is it super adjustable. If you don't know your exact draw length this will adjust up to 30" draw length and up to I think a 70# draw weight. It comes with a starter sight and decent rest. I only had to buy her a release and arrows and she is up and shooting. I can adjust the bow to her as she grows. Get something that fits you or you will end up hating archery. I tried to go the used bow route and it didn't work out for me. Going to the pro shop and getting a bow properly set up for me made all the difference in the world but I always knew I wanted to bow hunt.
