No. But that's something I want to figure out how to do.

They already have a guy.

Depending on arrow rest could be something as simple as the nock turned and fletchings are hitting it.

Been watching videos on broadhead and nock tuning arrows. Do the pre boxed and fletched arrows come with the fletching and nock tuned to the arrows spine? I'm down to one good flying arrow and want to do my own with the true helical fletchings but I'm short on time.

What combo are you running that you like?

Couple things.. In need of some granite fabricating guys in Sierra Vista or tucson that would be willing to do jobs in cochise county. Also looking into finding some hookups, places that might have better deals on product than home depot or lowes. I do bank owned remodels to put back on market, most are complete rehabs. Pretty much everything from kitchens, bathrooms, ceiling fans, receps, paint, flooring. I understand HD and lowes get a lot of factory seconds when it comes to things like tile.. Looking into prosource right now, seems like they could be good. I found some places that have pre fab granite tops to which is cool but I've never done it myself. Also need to thin the herd with some better guys I think. if anyone knows guys lookng for work. Trying to train guys to take over when I move where they would have a peice work rate and then get a percentage of each job as an incentive so there is definately room to move up. Thankis, Kev

Do you cut it up similar to a deer?

First verify whether he is left eye dominant. My buddy is right handed but is left eye dominant.

Take a sharpie and mark the arrow. See if it's the same one everytime.

Cool Muley in the first pic

Ed, I'm told they are good eating but stink something awful as soon as you cut them open. Have you found that to be true?

This pretty much sums it up. I dont quite see it as 100% back down but still, it is necessary to be smart about the pics we post. Posting pictures of deer or even bloody pics is one thing, a "pile" of dead animals is a whole other story. A pile of dead animals depicts us as bloodthirsty not as conservationists. Think of it like this, we're all debating about ways to educate the public and increase hunter recruitment. Taking tasteful pics rather than distasteful ones is a small FREE way we can do that.

Since you got the 15s and tripod really learn the technique. Dig up some threads on how to glass and where to glass etc. Also I always recomend taking Duwane Adams glassing class. It's money well spent. Ask him about food sources, water sources etc. He's already forgotten more then I'll ever learn and a heck of a nice guy. I took his class and it shaved years off of what I could have found out on my own. It has actually saved me money. Also figure out what type of terrain you want to hunt and what animal, Muley or Coues. Muley may be a little easier starting out but maybe not. I live in 35A, mostly rolling oaks and grassland so pretty stalkable terrain. Unit 23 though for example has mile wide canyons with thick nasty cover. Setting up mineral licks and sitting a blind in the summer for hours on end would be my approach there. Another thought, go get a couple leftover pig tags. Great practice for deer and sticking one will be a great confidence booster. If you get a tag in 35a, or 30b I can point you in a good direction. Good luck. Oh, and as far as how to make a move. Generally guys will glass them at first lite watch them until they bed and then make a move. Typically by then the thermal currents will be pushing the wind / scent uphill so the approach is go waaaaayy out of sight go around the hill behind them and come up and over on top of them. Having a device to mark there location like a gps is a HUGE help here. Also dont discount high foot traffic areas. I have two go to spots that have lots of trails with birdwatchers, tree huggers, mountsin bikers, hikers, hunters etc. Youd be surprised at how used they are to people going near them without bolting. One of the advantages is you can use the trails to quickly make a move much more quietly then you could without a trail.

Any interest in a Rem 700 in 243?

They should have sad music in the background and show pictures of thirsty animals too.

dang liberals and their anti gun agendas.

Pillow pigs!

Seemed a reasonable price as well.

Cool first post! Super cool bull!

That's super sad. As a parent I can't think of anything worse.

Well after spending the morning up in Tucson at Bull Basin Archery fine tuning her bow, my wife and I went out on her first deer hunt. We had an area picked out where they travel each evening and I sat high to glass and watch if anything was coming her way. After coming back from a quick look down the other side I looked up to a deer running right by the tree she was under. Couple seconds later she texted me "I just fu***** missed." I went down and found her arrow with no blood on it. I told her I missed a whole bunch of times and that a clean miss is better than a bad hit. Well, that didn't stop her from crying. I felt bad but I think she's even more hooked now and even more determined. We're gonna try again tomorrow then I got to work till next weekend. Gonna get her her first deer yet!

Lol, I just put on a new sight for her. She kept hitting waaaay high. I'm like it's got to be your anchor point.... then it suddenly hit me.

Respectable 8pt from this am. Man I need a phone scope bad. Trying to hold the phone to the scope sucks! and another from tonight

Thought I would resurrect this old post. She had another chance in January and missed but I'm thinking success is just around the corner for her. Spent the last two days watching and gonna spend the next few as well. FEELING LUCKY!

That's awful. Was it a car wreck or something?
