    Tick Tock

    Honestly, very mixed feelings by all I've talked to who's prepared and ate it. We roasted one whole while out there and it was pretty good. Some parts were a little stringy but I bet with a little love would make some good pulled pork sandwiches. I made a mess of breakfast sausage so we shall see. Good luck to you in the draw young man!

    Tick Tock

    The suspense of what I did/didn't draw was killing me so we headed to my buddies ranch last week in Texas for spring break......thought by pretending I didn't care about the draw it would happen πŸ˜’ sorry to change the subject....figured it couldn't hurt!

    Tick Tock

    Couesdeerhntr, I agree with your thoughts. It's crazy how degraded the content has gotten and how much disrespect for people's opinions ones feel at liberty to express. I by no means am implying that there are not good, salt of the earth folks on here, but what happened to being interested enough in someone's expressions that we asked adult, respectful questions when we disagree or don't understand. I tell my son that this forum is like hunting camp with the guys. We love each other but also rag the heck out of each other every chance we get. Nothing personal, even though it appears to be. That reasoning, wildly imagined, is why I keep coming back and sharing our memories moments in the field. Good luck in the draw!!! Mark
  4. Great bow for kids. Adjustable draw length and weight. Set at 24 lbs and 22" but can be adjusted for growth.
  5. Great starter bow for kids.

    Max's Texas Hunt

    We received a gracious invite from our buddy in Texas to bring Max out for a 4 day youth hunt on his lease. Needless to say Max put the 6.5 PRC and crossbow to work. Freezer is full and memories made to last a lifetime.

    Graduation gift.....which elk unit

    Appreciate your insight. I'm all about hard work and finding big ones in units most turn thier noses up to. Helped a guy from south Carolina last year on an archery bull hunt in a unit biologist said it was near impossible to scratch out a 350 bull and had my guy on one 350+ 3 times.

    Graduation gift.....which elk unit

    Appreciate your opinion and both of those are on the top of my list. 22n and I have a love/ hate relationship. I helped 5 guys in a row kill bulls on both seasons and last year took an older gentleman for 3 days with high hopes and could barely turn up a handful of cows. I guess I was due a lesson in humility. 3b muzzleloader has always intrigued me but not sure I could do it justice because of how far it is from home. Thanks again, Mark

    The virus

    Couesdeerhntr, Appreciate your post. I to am very healthy, no underlying health issues and have no concerns about getting the virus. I wear a mask because I care about my neighbor, I have empathy and I feel compassion for others. Life is a gift and we are taught to love our neighbors as ourselves. If there is a 1% chance that wearing a mask could protect a vulnerable individual than I am all in and I will teach my family the same principles because I am modest, yes I have free will but that comes with consequences good or bad, and if the worst thing that comes is I teach my son that the world doesn't revolve around him and being uncomfortable is sometimes necessary to show true love and empathy than I guess I can sleep well. Stay safe all, Mark

    Stanley, Favorite hunt of mine for sure....kiddos are already looking forward to next year!

    36A Youth Deer

    It went pretty well. I had 4 kids with me and my help fell through, so I had to keep all of them with me and take turns shooting. Got 3 shots at bucks and 3 at pigs. Saw 2 big ones that I will revisit late December but kids had an absolute blast.

    36A Youth Deer

    We are down here right now and a little slow. Had to take this morning off for business, but will be back at it this afternoon. Saw 40 deer yesterday, 2 bucks in really tough spots and a mountain lion. I have 4 youth hunters with me, 3 girls and my son. Seems like they are in similar areas as last year. Hopefully with cooler weather coming in we'll have better luck.....glass till your eyes burn seems to be the name of the game down here. Good luck to your boy and shoot me a message if you need any help on a packout!

    Max's 2020 Kansas Deer Hunt

    Howdy all, We just returned home from one of the most memorable hunts I have been a part of to date. Max filled both of his Kansas Deer tags and the week was full of laughs, tears, and many memorable conversations. These moments always help me to reset my compass on what is truly important in life and the opportunities we have to teach young hunters what is truly important and worth pursuing in this sport. These moments are short and gone in the blink of an eye. I hope all of us hunters on here can unitedly work to instill the ethics and values to every young person we can that will preserve this sport for generations to come. Get a young one involved in conservation activities. Hunting is about giving back more than we take. Get excited about trophy animals but never forget to instill excitement over any animal, watch there behavior, and let kids be kids. Shoot what is legal and don't put unnecessary stress on them. As they progress set goals based on their input. Use trail cameras as a tool to learn animal behavior not to claim hunting spots. You see other cameras help the kids to see that we all share equal privileges to the outdoors. If you see a camera that has been messed with have your kid try to fix it. Competition is ruining our sport. Teach our kids to compete within themselves to be the best hunter they can be. If we do so they will be continually successful under the most adverse conditions. Teach them to help other hunters. Take an evening off of their hunt to help with a packout...."there is more happiness in giving than receiving." Appreciate all the great content on this site and hope everyone is having a great season....on to the 36a junior hunt
