    crossbow for wife

    best bet is to call around and ask what they have - give all the archery shops a call i'd pass on cabelas or basspro personally

    crossbow for wife

    the sniper 370 on special this week at Cabelas - most any brand will work - but if your looking for something for your wife - shop around - let her shoot one don't just go buy one . mission is the only way to go for a Lady - check them out and shoot at archery shop in deer valley . they are lighter /smaller which will make it even better for her shoulders - they are a lot quieter too - most others are cumberson pigs - but guys don't care ! some will have a crank attachment so she can cock it herself otherwise make sure that's possible if your not with her except to pay 700- 800 but well worth it . I own a Barnett 350 and an excaliper - got super deals and my b-laws both have missions . had I had the extra $$$ I'd of gone with the lighter crossbow - makes a big difference after a day in the field mission 320 I think - the hype of 350 - 440 ft per second really means nothin

    Not one dam elk

    I kinda like to think - if at least you were fortunate to draw a tag and where able to get out in the field and hunt - then you were way ahead of those whom didn't!

    Guess the score?

    simple in field look for the g1-2-3 to be at least any of the combination 5-8-6 5-6-8 6-8-5 8-5-6 you get the idea you'll probably be looking at a 100 in buck with normal width / mass so if eye guards small needs extra on g-2 g-3 for a typical 3 point buck if g1-2-3 smallish look for extra mass and length or width 5 in eye guards -- 10 g-2 8 in -- 16 g-3 6 in -- 12 main beams 14in - 28 width 14in - 14 mass 5-3-2- -- 20 ---------------------------------- 100

    pigs in 10

    unit - 10 along with all the other units combined in archery hunt # 5082 seldom sells out OTC Like I said - or at least I meant to say , I want to see this herd grow - 2 yrs ago it was 3 pigs - now it looks like 4-5 adults and as many juveniles from last yr. other photos show at least 1 adult that may make some more bacon on the hoof this spring. Be nice to see the herd double in size before I apply- they pretty much stay in my "private " canyon

    Unit 29

    Hike into about any remote trail - they are usually up higher this time of year ! Horseshoe is most likely hike in only -- as past yrs washed all roads away - but that can make for great hunting Deer numbers have improved overall in 29

    "Good to a thousand" mentality??

    my only experience with the "over a thousand club" the gun was sighted in for 1000 yrds -- great sendero 300 win mag top of the line optics/scope. the gun was accurate! human error was the problem - even when gun was Clawed - the sightest bump-grip-flinch-wind still effects the point of impact -squeeze the tripper wrong - yes even trigger pull can change everything guide put a guy behind the set-up took 6 shots for him to "join the club" even though it was acctually 965- lol it was still a marginal hit but he had his 90 in buck down latter hunter admitted - crosshairs where all over the place excitement- buck fever whatever - same guy probably would of made a marginal hit at 100 great to have the confidence and have an accurate rifle to do the long range shooting / hunting but not everyone is capable sounds easy to turn the dial hold and shoot - still lots of variables even for the most experienced of shooters big difference between those who can and those who think they can !
