Nearly $1400 new with way less than a 1000 arrows through it. Blown out rotator cuff kept me from shooting it much. Still has original strings but they should be changed.

I use these guys more than the Garmin topo's and they usually cost nothing. The ,maps I have used are better than the paid ones. About halfway down this list is Colorado Topo. https://www.gpsfiledepot.com/maps/state/co

Transmission and dependability. I knew a mechanic that serviced and repaired atv's/utv's for the border patrol. He said the only Hondas he got in his shop came in for service. He told me he made a living on repairing Polaris's and that Honda's were overbuilt.

I have owned 2 Yamaha's, a Kawasaki, Polaris and a Honda. Currently own a Yamaha Viking. If I had it to do again I would buy the Honda 1000.

I hunted 17A for many years and always saw some very big bucks. I quit hunting it about 10 years ago. It had turned into a zoo. I went up there about 3 years ago with a friend. We saw 21 bucks in one day but the biggest was a dink 4x4. Still road hunters everywhere. I have found some studs in some of the most unlikely areas though.

I would pass

shoulder blades

I have posted this before but this is from a 60 lb bow, 415 grain arrow with a 125 slicktrick @ 52 yds. I shot a 330 bull through both shoulders with it. It didn't go completely through but stuck out a couple of inches past the shoulder. Slicktricks are badass!!

I think he said 25 yds with a complete pass through

My boss put a 425 grain arrow@ 70lbs with a 100 grain slicktrick through the chest of a Cape Buffalo. It you put it in the right spot they will do the job.

To say every rancher is ethical and a good steward of the land is like saying every yahoo packing a gun or bow is an ethical law abiding hunter. It’s not true. But to say every rancher is out to destroy the environment is just as wrong. I hunt a desert ranch that changed ownership a few years ago. What was once a superb desert deer hunting area is now as bad as it gets. The new owners have let the tanks fill up with sediment, windmills in need of repair. The old owners kept lions in check. The attitude of the new owner is lions are good for the environment. The influence of a good steward of the land and someone who goes through the motions couldn’t be more evident.

Every wilderness area I have hunted has had cattle.

In the last few years the water quality where I live has become terrible. The heavy metal counts have become unsafe and the nitrate levels have risen as much as 5 times the EPA safe limits. With rapid growth and the aquifer being unable to recharge sufficiently the pool has drawn down allowing the contaminants to become more concentrated. Most people around here pump domestic water from the 200 foot range. We are down into the next strata around 400 feet and our water is still undrinkable.

There's not alot of info out there. I have friends that live and work in that area. The water table is dropping to where in some spots it is becoming a financial burden to pump residential water. There was talk some time back of pumping CAP water into the aquifers. I have no idea what became of that. Hyder is another area that is going to go dry. Both Hyder and the Bouse areas were nearly pumped dry years ago. It's going to happen again. Our state government could do a better job of regulating water use. In the AMA's it is restricted but in much of the state it is not.

This is the real threat from cows. https://www.globalcitizen.org/en/content/5-reasons-cow-farts-matter-and-could-destroy-the-w/

Wow! Guess you put me in my place!

I disagree. The explosive growth and drought have pulled the water tables down to the point that many natural waters are dried up or seasonal at the best. Some areas certainly would maintain natural water sources but many desert waters are dry. Coop agreements between sportsmen's groups and ranchers are becoming more common to the benefit of not only cattle but all wildlife.

Looking back on nearly every archery deer season I regret not taking shots on at least one deer. The issue I have is if I kill one then I am done hunting for the year. I know, dumb reason for passing on a decent buck. The exception is a late December buck but even then I pass on most bucks. I don't have the desire to kill a deer just to kill one. I have passed on some small bulls in hopes of finding a bigger bull. I usually eat tag soup and always have regrets. Elk tags don't come along that often.
