That's a great idea! I actually have something similar, with a small Zodi system. The D-battery pump that comes with it is barely adequate, so I bought a RV pump and connect it to a Marine battery. It works pretty good but kind of a pain to setup. I'll take it along on the hunt. Options are good. It might be nice to get a real shower, then "go to town" 😁

I have a solar shower but it would be nice to get a real shower after 5 days or so of hunting, especially with the forcasted warmer temps. Is there an establishment with public showers near Forrest Lakes or Heber?

Good deals! I bought one last go around.

Wow! That's a shocker! Life is fragile. Prayers to the family, friends, and his company staff.

I have this same jacket, size, camo...love it...great jacket!

I am going through this now. Sounds like a verifier will work for you, which is a "reading glass" in the peep. A clarifier is similar but is used with a magnified site. If you see distance ok then you just need a little correction to see the pins better. I just had one installed at Timber Mesa. I think I chose too much magnification and need to go back and try another. Here is a video describing it.

So, my eyes don't focus so well up close anymore, which causes my pins to be a bit fuzzy. I really don't like wearing glasses while hunting. I have a verifier peep sight on order through the local archery shop to help focus my pins. Anyone use this? Opinions? Alternatives?

Yeah, I do shoot with both eyes open and that helps...I can get by. Just trying to make improvements. I also have astigmatism in that eye, so I don't know if the verifier will help. It's a $60 experiment 😣

No. I have some scar tissue in my right eye from RK procedure 20 years ago. It feels like I have a spec of dirt under the contact.

I went to a QAD HDX last year and love it. Several factors can cause fletch contact: rest timing (set with the cord length), rest not at center shot, arrow spine too weak, tall fletching (more than 1/2"), bow torque (poor grip/release). Shoot through paper at about 6 feet. The tear can give some indication.

Very cool dream trip and great video! I needed that.

I agree. My arrows seem to hit square. I had the string/cable replaced and setup by Timber Mesa, here in Mesa. I checked the "paper tune" and looks good. I have shot Thunderheads and G5's so far and both POI same as field points, at 30 yds. I will experiment with 125's. Not sure if an extra 25 gr. will make a difference? Thanks for the knowledgeable replies!

Mulepackhunter, That should be a killer arrow! I am a bit concerned with my arrow weight. I am shooting Gold Tip Hunter XT, 416 gr. with 100 gr. Thunderheads. 30" arrow, 64 lb draw weight, 260 fps. I also have 125 gr. Thunderheads that I will experiment with. I have a Sept archery bull tag. I have not shot an elk with carbon arrows. I have killed 4 elk with an old PSE, heavy aluminum arrows, the same Thunderheads, shooting with fingers (no release). One shot, all dropped within sight. I am an advocate of heavy arrows. I have read many threads on this subject...a lot of varying opinions. Is this arrow weight/setup adequate?

Yeah, I thought so. We were up high in the Mazatals today. Noticed it this morning. On the way out around 1:00, it was getting windy and the smoke doubled in size.

Bears fire. Lightning strike yesterday. 2000 acres. https://inciweb.nwcg.gov/incident/6062/

I saw those. I checked reviews, which state "very slow trigger and recovery times", so I didn't buy them. They will probably be ok if you set them up looking down a trail or at a salt block. Try to avoid a passing shot or you may only get a rear end.

I've been thinking of one of these, but I'm getting resistance from my wife. Maybe I'll have to take a look at it.

You would have to draw outside air or the humidity would realy build up and defeat the purpose. I mounted a side draft to the side of my garage. It works well...when the dew point is low.

I like my Meindel Perfykt Hikers...on my 2nd pair. The first pair are still wearable, just not much tread left. I'd like to check out Crispi too.

I have a series of pics that I believe is a lion attack of a spike buck. What say you? Looks like a lion attacks from right to left Looks like a deer leg sticking straight up No leg in the air

I forgot to take my card reader with me, so I just swapped cards and waited until I got home to look at the pics. I usually have a snack and go through the pics on site, but not this time. Now I will have to go back to investigate. The attack happened 2.5 months ago, so not sure what will be left.

I wasn't sure if it's a tail or deer leg. The tip looks weird, kinda stubby.

Eberlestock X2 is a good choice for a day pack...and can pack out a quarter. Return with the frame pack and a couple buddies to get the rest.

Wow!! Very well done! .....WOW
