    2023 Guideline Recommendations

    I have never hunted with a crossbow. I know little about them. What is the advantage to hunting with one? I hunted with a vet that had taken a rocket hit while in Iraq. This guy was in rough shape. By the time he got it out of the case, string drawn, bipod set up, arrow nocked a guy with a compound could have emptied 2 quivers on the forky this guy tried to shoot. I just don't see any advantage.

    It would never happen but what about a bowhunter proficiency test? I bet half the guys that pick up a bow can't consistently put 5 arrows in a pie plate at 40yds.

    Boomers are the most entitled generation. Not much integrity left in the sport Don’t know what I am entitled to but I will agree there is not much integrity left in the sport. It’s about money. And the system is designed to be abused because of it. I don’t see many crossbow hunters but the ones I do see are usually younger guys The late archery rut hunts are getting completely overhunted. Go to a draw instead of OTC. That would make make it choose your weapon and eliminate a lot of people. Ban crossbows during archery hunts but create a crossbow only season to help offset lost revenue. Maybe put some integrity back into the sport. But that’s not going to happen. It would take away hunting opportunity and money from the department. To heck with the condition of the deer herd or quality of the hunt.

    Wasn't aware I was being sour. My point is this has been discussed and there are still crossbows being used during archery hunts. If a person feels that strongly about it take it to the commission or whatever powers that be and petition for change instead of bitching about it. It has to start somewhere.

    Tighten up the requirements, give Xbow hunters a separate season. Create another class of tags, crossbow tags and take them and time from the archery, muzzy and rifle hunts. ban them altogether, bitch about it or do nothing. Or go before the commission and try to get it changed.

    So what do you suggest when it has nothing to do with how much poundage but becomes an issue with the ability to hold a bow? 5 years ago I blew out two of the four rotator cuff tendons in my left shoulder. They were beyond repair due to a number of things. My ability to hold a bow has deteriorated to where I can no longer shoot a pie plate size group at 50 yards. So the solution is to hunt with a rifle? Not many rifle January mule deer hunts that I am aware of. I am not going to stay at home because someone thinks I shouldn’t be using am Xbow. As to hunting during rifle hunts…..knock yourself out but I have bow hunted the last 35 years. I have no plans to start rifle hunting or hunt during a rifle season now. Besides, the rifle guys have an unfair advantage. They have better technology and can shoot farther and more accurately. Sound familiar? I have never hunted with a crossbow. But if it means it will allow me to hunt during Dec/Jan instead of sitting at home one is in my future. And I don’t really care who does or doesn’t like it. It’s legal and I have a legitimate injury. I don’t have to justify it to anyone.
  7. Because of health reasons I am getting rid of my archery stuff. I won't ship but if it doesn't cost more in gas than what I am asking for an item I can meet in the Avondale area or you can pick up at my house. I live in the Tonopah area. Obsession Turmoil, right hand, 26.5-30" draw length, 50-60 lb, Americas Best strings installed by Ross Outdoors a couple of months ago, ripcord rest, Montana Black Gold sight. soft case. I believe it is the Ascent but possibly another model. Been too many years. 5th pin is a slider. Still have most of the sight tapes. Added one more pin because I am not a slider fan. I have chrono'd this bow over 285fps with a 390 grain arrow. Tru Glo arrow quiver. $500 Spot Hogg 7 pin sight. Optics aren't as bright as they once were. Sight ring has been painted on. $75 Black Gold 4 pin sight. $60 Releases, T handle styles $70 each. Scott Longhorn, 2x HTM index finger releases. These are my hunting releases. i use one as a back up, Carter Squeeze Me. This one has been laying around for a long time but I think it's still good. Spot Hogg Saturday Night Special, Spot Hogg Whippersnapper Short and Sweet and I think a Scott Silverhorn......$60 Miscellaneous tools....Bowmaster portable press with 2 different style of brackets, Outer Limits D loop pliers, scale, some nocks....$50 Plano hardcase....measured it at 16x41"......$25 Arizona EZ Fletcher 3" helical.....$30 each Arrow rests....Quad dropaway, toughman style rest, savage magnetic, Trophy Ridge whisker bisquit style rest......$50.

    As mentioned the draw system is online and it is a cluster f##k. They have no concerns about that. I have had dealings with G&F yahoo’s. They have an excuse/reason for everything when it comes to their agenda.

    Point guard plus

    This is the first I’ve heard of a point guard plus membership package. Pulled this off of the next commission agenda page. Anyone know what it is besides more money for the dept? PointGuard Plus and Standard PointGuard Pricing. Presenter: Pat Barber, Community Engagement Administrator. The Department will present to the Commission new proposed pricing for the standard PointGuard and the pricing for the soon to be implemented PointGuard Plus membership packages

    I could but I choose not to. I wouldn't use one during rifle season anyway because I don't own one.
  15. Difference in hunters. If I had to choose I would go with good 10’s and a spotter and leave out the 15’s. But I am in the minority. Most guys would go with 15’s.
  16. These are likely the most under rated binoc out there. I own a pair of these and Zeiss Victory FLT’s. I use the nikons almost exclusively. They aren’t as good as the Swarovski EL’s but I think they’re better than the old SLC’s. https://www.ebay.com/itm/255099232754?hash=item3b651961f2:g:By8AAOSwfZpgflpr

    Non Covid bug going around

    . https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3043740/ This paper looks in depth at the events surrounding ivermectin’s passage from being a huge success in Animal Health into its widespread use in humans, a development which has led many to describe it as a “wonder” drug. Just had a friend die from covid this morning. He was in his 50’s and reasonably good health. If a person took the time to research ivermectin there are many independent studies on its effectiveness against covid. It was considered a wonder drug until the vaccine came along. Now it’s extremely dangerous. I don’t understand the reasoning of withholding a treatment on a dying person that is known to be effective

    Non Covid bug going around

    People in my area have been taking the livestock version of ivermectin for a long time. If you read about how dangerous it is it's because the dumbasses are taking a dose for a 1500lb horse.
