Well, I am getting shots, just keep misjudging distance. I have had 3 shots at 3 different big mule deer, and have been barely missing low. I will connect though, I am going to try again tomorrow. I am going into a new area so we will see how I do. I did call one of them in though, he was grunting and mad, tearing up trees. This was after I had shot once, and I was calling him back. About the time he got back close enough he realized his does had walked off. So he turned and walked away. Then on Christmas afternoon I was able to watch 2 big bucks fight. I tried to slip up on them, but I had to take it easy because the does would bust me, and when the does were out of the picture, they quit fighting. I almost called them in too, but they stopped at about 100 yards from me. GMM

Its all about the money. If they know they will get more people to enter the draw they will change it. It will get more people to put in, and have to buy a non refundable license, even if they arent drawn they have to pay for a license. Some of them wont even use the license.

Wife has a cow elk tag, so I will be going after that. Unit 28 or 32.

If you are still looking for a bow, now is a good time to buy one, all of the shops are trying to get rid of the 2006 models and make room for the 2007's. You may be able to find a good deal. Also a lot of shops buy back or trade bows from customers, so they may have a bow dirt cheap. I have seen bows that have barely been shot for less than half the new price. Also, one other thing to think about is a few of the bow companies have a more economic line like Hoyt has Reflex and Bowtech has Diamond, they offer some of the same things, just at a better price, some of the bows from a couple years ago are in this line with a new name, at half the price. Hope this helps GMM

I shoot the Scott Rhino, I dont Know what they are calling it now. It is one of the rleases made for the string loops. GMM

I would get the string replaced, and have the wheels pulled off and lube them and the axles with graphite. While someone is doing this, they should be able see any cracks or other problems. Shoot this bow and see if you really like it, then try a newer one later if you want. you will be amazed how much different, and nice the new ones are. GMM

Its easy to make your own bow. I have a couple, and I just need to get motivated to get my ash and bamboo one done. My favorite shop is my shop. I dont trust anyone else with my stuff. I even take my press with me when I go on long hunting trips and vacations when I will be doing comps. GMM

Most of your low poundage childrens bows dont have enough power to break limbs or cables/ strings. Most of the time they are the bows that are 10 pound draw or lighter. GMM

What part is moving? If there is a screw coming loose put some bowstring wax on the threads and it will hold it for a long time. It will also help keep the screws from gauling and getting stuck. I usually put wax on all of my screws at least once a year, usually the beginning of summer after all the spring hunts. Hope this helps GMM

Well summer is here and in a short time it will be deer season again. It is time to get out the bows and start getting ready for the season. I got a new bow for this season and have been shooting it, I love it. I have been shooting way better with this bow than any other. I will be doing some scouting and finding new areas to hunt (cant have too many) in the next couple of months. I hope to find a couple of the bucks I have seen in the past couple of years. I will be setting up cams, and trying to get photos while I am out there (I always carry a camera, but I forget to get it out of my pack when I see something). Hopefully I can get some pics up. GMM

Its not boasting, its awsome. I told everyone about mine when I got my award from P&Y. No body got mad at me, I was just excited, and I would imagine you are too. Just keep on postin GMM

I also shoot all year long. I usually go out to the range nearly every day. Well last week I didnt get to, so I will have to make up for it this week.

I ended up getting a Switchback. I still have my Outback, but it is now a backup bow. I had the chance to get a SB when I got my OB, but I thought at that time the OB was better. Oh well, the OB was a great bow, I got 1 deer, 1 javelina, and a bunch of rabbits with it, but I am so much more accurate with the SB. I hope I can get into the deer like I did a couple of years ago. If so, the hunt will be even better, deer running all over, and not really paying attention to me. What ever this season is like, it will be fun. GMM

I am using g5 montecs. They are the toughest, and the easiest to sharpen I have found. GMM

My computer at my shop was hit. I had 5 or 6 variations of the trojan virus. Windows caught it and started downloading anti spyware on my computer. It cost me $25.00, but I have no more viruses. My home computer wasnt effected. GMM Ooops

These people dont think, that is what makes them dangerous. The only thing I fear running into in the forest is a whaco like this. GMM

I shot him in unit 28. I am going to do a shoulder mount. This was the first pig tag I have ever had, so I am pretty happy. GMM

I havent been able to post anything in a while, been busy, but here is my archery javelina I got the last day of season. I was about to give up after a whole month of hunting and not finding any javies. The last day I ended up hitting this big boar at 6yds with my Outback. The hunt was kind of wierd, we found lots of them before season, and this was the only shot I had on a pig this year. I saw lots of small bucks and one mulie my hunting partner and I call Buckzilla, we hunted him about half the month, but I never got any pics of him, but August will come soon enough. Rough estemation puts the buck over 200", somewhere. But here is the pig, he was all alone and field dressed over 55 lbs. (all my scale went to).

I have him at my taxidermist right now, should be done soon. GMM

Nice pigalena. Great pictures too. GMM

That is awsome, I have a 4 year old daughter that I cant wait for "her" first hunt, but I dont want to rush it. I know she will be 10 before I am ready, and definately a teen before I can ever be ready for it. Tell him congrats on a great pig, and good luck in the future. GMM

I parked at the corral, and I told my wife I was coming home at noon that day. I was walking back into the corral and noticed the cattle around it werent paying any attention to me, then I saw him walking down a trail from the corral. So I nocked an arrow and got on the trail he was on and waited for him to make it the 100 or so yards to me. He went and got his drink, and when he was 5 or 6 yards I decided it was close enough for me. After hitting him he ran about 5 more yards and fell over. I spend about 15 minutes removing my broadhead from a railroad tie used for the corner of the fence he was by and it was done. I was really impressed with my montec bh, it went through the pig, through a strand of barbed wire attached to the tie, and burried about 1 1/2" into the tie, and it was still sharp, only needed a touch up on the stone and back in the package it went. GMM Oh, I knew he was huge when I went to pack him out, went to move him to my truck, only 100 yds away, I picked him up by the back legs, and lifted its legs to almost shoulder high, and realized I would drag his nose off if I carried him this way, it was still touching the ground. I thought he was average till then, because I am 6'2" tall. He had long but worn tusks, they were almost poking through his snout on top, there were calluses where they almost poked through.

This is the best website on the net, but recently I have seen a change. This site is one of two that I go to, now I dont feel like reading a lot of what is on here, with all the arguing going on between eachother, and over just about anything. This was intended for learning about coues whitetailed deer. Lately it seems like a political opinion forum. If I wanted to see finger pointing and arguing I would go to a forum like that. I am done trying to weed through the whine posts to find posts about coues, or even hunting in general, so I will have to say bye. Good bye all, GMM

I wasnt as clear as I would hyave liked to have been I guess. It isnt about the posts themselves, it was about the fighting with eachother, others believing if your opinion is not the same you are wrong. I feel every one is entitled to your own opinion. Maybe I am blowing things out of proportion, but I dont think that I am. Like the illegal post, it was a good post and informative about the problems, but when everyone started fighting about why it is and how to take care of it, it turned me off from here. Going back, I guess it wasnt as bad as I thought, there are some real issues, and arguing wont take care of them. GMM

good job and very nice deer. GMM
