PSE Vendette Xl @ 70lbs 28". Practice to 100 and on. Have killed from 12-80 yards.

I would like to clarify my previous statement. Squaring points would definatly change the odds of drawing in the second phase 1-2 pass of the drawing in favor of those with higher points. It would not effect the odds in the first phase bonus pass of the drawing.

Squaring bonus points WILL in fact change odds in a big way. For example, say you have two applicants, one with 5 points and one with 10 points. The applicant with 10 points has twice as many points as the applicant with 5 points. Now square both of their points. The applicant with 10 points will now have 100 points and the applicant with 5 points will now have 25 points. So now its 25 to 100 instead of 5 to 10. He now has 4 times more points instead of only double the points. This system would give the applicants with higher bonus points a significant advantage over those with less. -Tracy I think what you're forgeting is the fact that your total number of points means nothing at all in Arizonas system. Rather it is your point total in comparison to all other applicants. You can square your points all you want but the "order" will stay the same. Those with more points than you will still have more points then you and those with less will still have less.

Could be wrong but squaring everyones points wont increase anyones odds. Now, I'm not familiar with Nevadas draw system. But I do understand Arizonas and to me the most rediculous thing is that only 20% of the total tags are issued in the first phase. What if that was doubled to 40%. Then required point totals would be cut in half. Rifle goat tags with about 12 points, archery with 6-9 and archery elk with 4-7! Would be a lot of happy Arizona residents out there. I know azgfd needs to make money. I also know our current system is good at doing this because it was designed for a high possibility to draw tags in the lottery(i.e. in the second phase where points mean NOTHING). But, it is at the expense of the unlucky residents. We literally toss 70% of our tags into the air every year and let the wind determine who the tag holders will be.

Selling my well used Pse X-force 6 HF. I am the original owner. Purchased new in 2007. Taken on many hunting trips since then. It is the 6 inch brace model with 70 lb limbs. Currently has 28 inch draw but draw length can be changed easily by changing modules on the cams(If you need a different draw length and you're not familiar with this process I can have it changed for you). Including the throphy taker drop away rest, sts string damper and aluminum peep. Just needs a sight and you're ready to shoot. Call Sam at 520-260-4273. Bow is in Tucson but I will be passing through phoenix and sedona both tonight and sunday night. So if you're intrested and want me to meet you give me a call before 6 tonight so I can tote it along.

Found a bow killed 4 point yesterday. Appeared to have died a day or two ago. Where the hit was the buck probably traveled some distance. Know its a long shot but hoping to find the hunter who killed him. Hes in unit 31 close to Wilcox. If you shot one recently in the area let me know.

I dont think the pattern you choose is that important. None will cover up movement. Its better to just stay completely out of site or at least behind cover in the shade.

+1 +1 four years on my little bitty goose. have the one with buckle strap and rope connection. It adjusts much shorter than most releases. Just make sure you get one that you can adjust to fit you. ie not reaching for the trigger.

No shame in arrowing some jacks. Good practice and good eating.

Wow what an exciting hunt this was! I didnt kill the biggest buck in the area (gave him a good scare on a few occasions tho haha). But after months of scouting and a week of all out bowhunting, arrowing this buck from 52 yards was as sweet as could be. He is my first Antelope and I couldn't be happier with him and how the entire hunt unfolded. I would like to thank my Dad for all his help as well as congratulate all the other successful Archery Pronghorn hunters. If your hunt was anything like mine I know you earned it.

I like your style and it sounds like youre happy with the result. One thing to keep in mind tho is the inavailability of a identical backup or replacement release. Just better gaurd it with your life. Especially when its on your lap and you jump out of the truck on the side of the highway thats about to get 10 inches of snow and close down for three days. hypothetically speaking of course.

I've hunted with a single pin movable sight for 8 years now and love it. I've been burned in the past guessing yardages, shooting wrong pins, gapping pins or holding over/under. I try to eliminate as many variables as possible and having a single pin set to the yard is the easiest way to arrow a big buck. that said, I'm considering using a multiple pin set up elk hunting this year knowing that shot distances on a called in bull can change in an instant. But for spot and stalk bowhunting you cant beat a single pin.

Well do you consider killing an animal at 1000 yards fair to that animal? or sportsmanlike? Its obvious my current standpoint on the idea. So rather then bash it take this opportunity to help me see things though your eyes. Really not trying to start a fight here just would like to hear your thoughts.

To me a major part of hunting is penetrating the security of the animals senses. A few of the proudest moments in my life have been acomplishing that difficult feat and taking an animal. Everyone has the right to hunt as they disgress within law. I just don't understand why anyone would want to cut their experience short of its full potencial.

I used to have a Rem 700 in 300rum. I probably shot 500 rounds though it. It was a lightweight rifle and it kicked like heck. More then once I had the knurled bolt rip the flesh from my knuckles during recoil. I was not sad the day I sold it. I would not recommend it for deer hunting. If youre trying to shoot through bullet proof glass, brick walls, or tanks then maybe consider it. Otherwise, stick with a smaller caliber like a .260. Cheaper to reload and way less recoil. Compare the exterior balistics of both. A 300 rum will have zero benefit for hunting deer. Oh almost forgot. Its loud! hope you carry good ear protection while youre hunting.

Any advise out there for a achery spring bear 1st timer? I have had some success with archery for deer before but have almost no idea where to start on this one. The plan so far is to glass, track and do alot of calling. Any thing specific I should know about this time of the year? thanks

Looks like a younger deer. Great character and genetics tho. I say give him 2 years and you'll have a bomber.

Imo, I think even previously successfull hunters should be able to purchase leftover permits. If AZGFD decides an area can support x number of permits, then what difference is it which hunter is filling them?

Congrats, That buck is a tank! Glad you got the chance to finish him

My New Years started this year at 3:17 am with a 4 hour hike to my glass point. From previous scouting trips, I knew there was a few good bucks in the area and was happy to finally be toting my bow and a fresh tag along. The first hour of light turned up my buck and five others. I enjoyed some hot chocolate as i waited for the wind to cooperate. It steadied around 10:00 am so I moved into position above the group of bucks. The day old snow was no longer fresh and quite crunchy but I was able to get about 120 yards without trouble. I decided to give the snow awhile to thaw and just watch the bucks. My buck had been hoarding a doe bedded below him and was busy all morning running the smaller bucks off. With every wind gust, I took a step. Everytime a buck ran, I took a step. At 1:00 I reached a group of rocks that I thought if I climbed, I could get a shot from. It looked like a great spot untill three of the bucks decided to move directly below me. This is when my nerves kicked in full throttle. My buck would step into a lane just long enough for me to range him, set up and draw. Then he would drop back down to his doe out of sight. All the while I'm trying to not be detected by the smaller bucks. Finally I got a break when one buck moved in and was ran off drawing my buck right into a lane 70 yards below me. I was ready and sent the arrow down the lane over the backs of three other bucks and had a clean pass through. I climbed back up the hill, ate lunch and thought about the fact that my season was now over. I knew there was still alot of work ahead of me and plenty of other hunts to help out on. So decided to just except that this one was short and sweet. My 2011 Coues Whitetail Lunch break My Shooting Platform. The lane was between my top limb and quiver hood. A beautifull sight to an Archery Hunter A beautifull sight to any Hunter Ready for a long night The pack out

I've used three different heads, all of which had LESS than stellar results. No more messing around with the mechanicals for me. Has anyone shot the meat seeker 3 blade at all? I bought some in bulk because they were real cheap, under $5 each. They're really compact in flight and group tight. I dont think the blades are quite as strong or sharp as they could be and the tolerances seem a little sloppy. But the head itself and the mechanics of it seem very reliable. I used them on the buck I killed this jan on the initial and finishing shot. Both opened before entry. The first shot hit and broke ribs and was unharmed. The last broke a blade off after exiting the animal and hitting rock. Still want to use them more before I call it. But first impression is they're a good broadhead.

Jan 2nd I spotted this buck running a doe across an open ridge. I was amazed by his wide spread. He was certainly a buck of intrest to me. That morning I stood 65 yards from him and was unable to get an accurate range before my opportunity passed. I was able to turn him up every weekend of January after that but after multiple failed stalks I still had all my arrows. Untill the last weekend that is. After a little shuffle with a coworker my Saturday shift was covered and I set off on the 6 mile hike to the canyon he called home. At this point in my mind he was the only buck in existence. I had trouble that morning but finally turned him up when he stood from his bed in the afternoon. He was with another buck and a few does which put my stalk on hold untill the next day. When I found him the next morning he was all alone and working to the back of the canyon where he had bedded the day before. I remember thinking about how everything just seemed to be falling together. Not a very common thought of mine when hunting Coues deer with a bow. About two hours later I crested his side of the canyon and was happy to see him bedded in a small shadded opening 150 yards below. The pack and shoes stayed there and I slowly decended toward the buck. When I peeked over a cliff to range him below me he rose to his feet and I lost whatever composure I had left. He stood there looking around long enough for me to calm down and release an arrow. I don't remember hearing the bow or even seeing the arrow fly. I only remember seeing the hide on his chest ripple where the arrow passed though. I was overwhelmed with excitement and emotions knowing the buck I wanted for so long was now fatally hit. After taking pictures and boning out the buck it was close to dark and I was just beginning the pack out. With 80 lbs of meat and gear I made the thee hour hike in just under seven. I stopped quite a few times to rest, eat and cross knee high freezing springs. It was long, cold and painfull. But nothing really matered at this point. With that buck on my back I could have crossed hot coals with a smile. It was a Hunt not soon forgotten. The buck gross scores 101 and measures 16.5" inside.
