Went up to prescott this weekend and they got some pretty good snow fall. Ive been in phoenix so long id forgotten how cold that stuff is!

My wife had some 'friends' that were giving her a hard time a couple months ago for voting for trump. Finally she tells these gals 'tell me 3 things obama did that helped the American people? ' between them they came up with 1.) Gay marriage, and 2.) One of them knew somebody that had a friend who was finally able to get a surgery he needed because of obama care.... Not sure those two things out weigh the degeneration of American solidarity, the insane spike in racial tensions, the bold acts of violence against leos and the more than doubling of health care costs for tens of millions of working class families, but hey, I guess its enough for some people.

Ive been shooting 380 grains at 275 fps for years and have seen those arrows blow right through coues, mule deer, Nebraska whitetails and javelina. I do not believe mine would pass through on a shoulder hit, but I think yours probably would as youre driving a lot more ke down range than my srtup is. Either way, you have more than sufficient ke, so just pick what you like and what you feel shoots the best, then don't lose any sleep over it. For what its worth, every year women and youth hunters kill deer, bears elk and all kinds of other stuff shooting low ke 40# bows and light arrows. Sure more ke doesnt hurt anything, but at some point it goes beyond whats necessary and becomes marketing gibberish. Like advertising 500hp cars that'll go 200 mph... who cares, buying it wont add an inch to anything and neither will shooting a bow that drives telephone poles down range at 400 fps. So dont obsess over it.

Theres about a million string makers now, many of whom have diehard followers. Ive been using winners choice for about 15 years and have no interest in switching.

Awesome! Congrats on the javi.

Congrats, thats a stud buck!

A worn out string will reek all kinds of havoc with your setup. If your bow was shooting fine and now its not, first make sure everything is tight and still set correctly/square, then check your string and cables. Keep in mind a trash string can still look good if its been waxed and well cared for. As mentioned, check the draw weight and draw it back and pull it against its draw stop. If it feels spongy against the stop and/or the weight is low, I'd replace the sting and cables. If you know what speed your bow was shooting a chronograph can tell you a lot. On my old bow that I was shooting last year, the string had gone to heck on it and it went from 68# to 54# and dropped from 275fps to 251, and the arrows were flying like crap.

I called and asked them that exact question a couple years ago and was told that as long as my license was good when I put in, and I had a valid one when it was time to hunt, I was fine. But by all means feel free to call them and double check. They're actually one of the better state agencies to call, you usually get through to a real life person pretty quickly.

Shovels are good, as are rakes and boot heels (depending on the variety of snake). I hope they tack pigeons on to that bill, I hate feeling like an outlaw every time one of them has a sudden heart attack and falls off my roof....

Gnarly old buck. Great find.

No problem. Thanks for sharing and congrats again!

Congrats to you guys! Great buck!

A 6mm larger objective does not = anything close to 9 oz, nor does a slightly larger piece of tubing for the body, which tells me there is a significant difference in materials and construction between the two. Without taking them apart and measuring everything, i would guess that if the vortex one is that much lighter they are obviously using much lesser/lighter grade internal components. Probably a bunch of aluminum or even plastic parts where the other is likely using steel. If price is no concern, buy the best quality.

Nice job. Congrats to you guys!

Nice! Congrats on your pigs. They sure are a fun hunt.

Happy birthday. Hope it got a little more relaxing for you. Nothing like an undies-clad gunfight with a coyote to start the day off...

There was no freaking election hack. All of those emails were REAL. Even the libs do not dispute that. giving the voters more truthful information is not election hacking. CNN giving Hillary the debate questions in advance however...... I get pissed off everytime I hear that phrase. An election hack is when someone gets in the computer and messes with the result of the election. This was an email hack and press leak of said hacked emails. The dems and the media just have their panties all bunched up because they lost what they thought was an unloseable election to a candidate they thought couldnt possibly win.

Nice bucks! Congrats to them and thanks for sharing.

Nice stink-piggie! Congrats.

And next week on gilmore girls....

That's awesome! Nice find. I'm also in the only finding cow-pies boat...

First shot on her first hunt?! Thats outstanding! Im not going to admit how many I missed before I finally connected, but tell her it happens to all of us, so no sad feelings over it. Cant dwell on a miss. Good luck to you guys.

Is it like a fawn distress call? I've seen videos of does running for it but not with bucks. Mine is just a bleater but you can blow it like a predator call to make distress calls..... and it really pisses them off. Snorting jumping stamping their feet mad. It doesnt always work, but when it does it can be pretty exciting. And yes, its usually does that respond, but bucks will follow them in. No guarantees, but if you have no other play it might get you a shot.

Looks like you're into some good ones. Thanks for sharing the pics.
