Non-Typical Solutions

What do you experienced archery hunters use for the elk rut hunt? Face paint? Yes. No. What do you do?

Dang good pics......looks like you have some deer to chase for sure...

Crazy rains and great pictures.......can't wait for Sept. 11 and some archery elk to see exactly how much this rain has transferred into antler!!! I love the storms that have been rolling in up north here.

No tribute for Dad.....just sick to my stomach(heart) that after 30 years of having kids in the house that time will soon be behind me and those boys will be making tracks of their own with their youngens........hope they invite me along once in a while!!!

I like getting into camo....it seems to fit the season but like Average Joe......I prefer wranglers for keeping crap off my legs. I take my old black church wrangers and turn them into hunting pants. They look perfect in the burn areas, then I top off with a tight sleeved camo undershirt and a short sleeved camo tee shirt with a stupid cap of any color. Course, I wear that same camo setup at home just about every night......keeps me thinking about what I enjoy tons and that is huntin!!!!

I actually do need somebody with good insurance to T-bone my truck right now......so that thought has crossed my mind!!!

Just got the news my 97 Tacoma has 10% compression in #2 hole. 300,000 miles on it! Looking for a motor and somebody that has the skill to put it in my truck. Two weeks away from my elk hunt and now no truck.........aw well, I still have a tag, I can't complain!!! Got a quote from a dealer.....$4880.00 plus or minus $200.00, I can buy a used Tacoma for that much with less miles on it!!! Maybe I will just do that.......

So what does he score?

That will get the blood pumping right there.....great video.

Good job on the antelope hunt......not the easiest with a bow I mean with all that great cover you had there

Not in any rush but starting to look at trucks to replace the old Ford. Have not looked at trucks for close to 30 years now and feel lost. I like the Tundra trucks and have read some of your reviews on other threads. Is this a good deal for a truck like this??? https://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/cto/5166776148.html

I think he is thinking he is going to get a head start on the ladies! Cool pic Wy.

Or he is just a brainwashed anti Toyota guy. All the full sized trucks will pull a small trailer. Used wise, there are some really nice trucks of all brands out there that will do the trick.I've always thought Chevy makes the best looking trucks and have the nicest interiors though. I sacrifice that for the peace of mind Toyotas give me. Some of these dealers act like the Tundra is the same as an old 22R Toyota pick up. They probably don't know or care how stout they are built and how much usable torque the 5.7 produces. I tow boats and trailers all the time. I drive through multiple western states through steep mountain passes. Trust me, you won't feel under powered. Like anything, I would go drive all the half tons with all available motors and see how they feel. Get them on the highway, take them up some inclines. If the dealer doesn't allow an extended test drive, go to a different dealer. Good to know, thanks for your input and info....

Just a local dealer on the mountain. I couldn't remember which one handled the toyota so I asked the guy which one did. He asked what I was looking for and I told him that the biggest thing I would ever be towing would be a small to moderate camp trailer. He absolute pushed me away from the Tundra......course all he has on his lot is Dodge and Chevy........so that is probably the biggest motivator behind the anti Tundra pitch

Keeper wife for sure......looks like a heck of a trip...

Thanks to everybody with your input.....and then I walked into a dealership today and started quizzing them out about the Tundra...which they don't have on their lot.......and they said under no circumstances should I purchase a Toyota if I have pulling a camp trailer in mind???? I know......never as a dealer.......

That is a good one Hog......perfectly normal symptoms......

As I watched the sun come up this morning I got to wondering.....what time of day was it when you let that arrow fly that connected with that bull you killed? My only archery hunt 20 years ago I drew back on a bull that I didn't get to let the arrow fly on due to trees and limbs, etc. the bull was only 15 yards away and I didn't get to close the deal. That was at 10:00am....... How about you? What time of day did you let it fly???

Corresponding right hoof left antler? It is typical if I remember correctly from folklore of my father, if the animal had an injury to one side, the opposite side antler would have some form of deformity.

Anything over 12mpg is an improvement for me......

You caught me on that one......that is funny.....

So here is what I got from my post...... First Light - 4 6:07 6:30 7:30 8:15 9:00 10:00 - 2 11:00 1:00pm 4:00pm 4:30pm 5:00pm 6:30pm 6:43pm Between 11-1 Late Morning Late evening - 6 Mid-Day Bottom line......keep on huntin......good luck to everybody on their hunts this year.

Lots of fun times ahead, congrats to your boy for gettin it done.

Great service from the top of noble and gobbler point just in your back yard there good luck....

I believe it was a Remington Mohawk .243, short stock, shorter that standard barrel. I bought for my wife thinking it would be perfect for a woman shooter. Sorry thing was the loudest, hardest kicking gun I ever owned. She shot three rounds through it and threw it aside and told me to forget it. My oldest son took the action and build me a .17 Remington out of it.........good deal for me...not so good for her.
