    Possibly moving to Colorado

    Seems like anywhere you go has crappy neighborhoods and good ones. I drive used vehicles and avoid debt like a plague so we can spend more on housing to get away from the garbage. Those street trash people dont seem to be particularly mobile, so if you're not within walking distance of their hoods you're probably ok. I just went to Colorado for the first time a couple weeks ago and was amazed. I had no idea places that pretty existed in the u.s. Good luck to you and your family, I hope it goes well for you.

    Using a bow during the general season

    My best one so far was taken at 8500'. Spent two days up there and didnt see another person. Only deer, turkeys and cattle.

    Some pics of a few nice rams to pass the time

    Really? I can't get away from them. Yep, sad but true. Only one I ever saw was on the way to san diego a few years ago, there was a big ole ram standing on top of a boulder right on the side of the highway. No idea what score, but he looked pretty big and lots of horn. Yet to see one in az though. Im told theres a few in 37b and 24b but i lived in superior for about 4 years and hunted, hiked and backpacked in those units like crazy every chance i had. Never saw 'em.

    Using a bow during the general season

    Spears are for girls. I hunt bears with a fresh cut springy willow switch. Whip his arse up into a horse trailer, haul him home and mean mug him into submission, then I drink beer and fart while the women skin out that freshly tamed pussycat of a bear. I also have an impressive set of tools, luxurious thick patch of chest hair and sport a five oclock shadow by 9am (unless I dont feel like shaving again on lunch break, then my beard sits idle and waits for me to call it). Lets see some pansy twatter/facebook hunter out man that.

    Using a bow during the general season

    I'll actually be doing this next month in the colorado otc elk hunt, for the very reason you described. Going with a good friend that rifle hunts, but I only bowhunt. I'll wear the orange and try to get close enough for the arrow, and if not I'll go home with my tag. I hold nothing against any legal hunter using any legal tool, but i personally have no interest to shoot anything with a gun.

    Using a bow during the general season

    I never did it, but thought about it just to get some more time in the field. If you want to kill one with your bow, go for it. Its your tag, use it anyway you want. Might consider wearing some orange though...

    I am deplorable

    Its amazing to me how people can find a justification to support anyone with so much dirt on their hands, yet condemn others simply because they dont like their words. Isnt there a pretty broad difference between saying something that some people might find offensive and actually commiting crimes and blatant acts of corruption?

    STRARBUCKS

    Lets see, on one hand you have a money grubbing harpie thats been bought by goldman sachs and every other big wall street bank for a paltry couple hundred thousand at a whack, vs. the ego maniac/my-way-or-the-highway/tariff everything/I'm a billionaire and cant be bought guy..... Im thinking that if im a wall street exec whose multi million dollar bonus and salary depends on positive earnings, I'm probably siding with the trollip who's been passed around by my banker buddies more than a drunk cheerleader at a frat party. Its the law of rational self interest at work right in front of your eyes, and it has nothing to do with philanthropy or politics. Its all about money.

    Opening day archery Az Strip buck!

    You need to add 30 points or so I wouldnt be surprised if it was a little over 170. I have a 145 hardhorned muley on my wall and this guy looks like he has more spread and much longer backs than mine does.

    Shooting 2 peeps

    Half the fun of a compond bow is fiddling with it and trying different things. If that werent the case, I doubt the manufacturers would be as successful as they are at getting people to buy new bows every year. Theres only one way to know for sure: give it a shot and let us know how it goes.

    Awesome buck! Congrats to the hunter.
  23. Got deer problems? There's only one obvious answer: deer vasectomies! WTH is wrong with people? I can't imagine how p.o.ed I'd be if I was a tax payer in that state. http://sportingclassicsdaily.com/nyc-deer-vasectomy-campaign/ http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2016/06/09/staten-island-deer-vasectomies/
