    Spotting Scope & Tripod Sale

    Just a plug for Cameraland. I had some questions about a product so I called yesterday, not only did they answer with no pressure but it was super easy and helpful. Ive always been super impressed with their Customer Service. Thanks, Houston

    Long Range Fixed Blade Field Point Accuracy

    I hate shooting mechanicals unless I'm shooting long range. I do prefer to be a bowhunter instead of an archer and get in close. In my experience with a properly tuned arrow/head combo and a bow most fixed heads will shoot the same. That being said in a pack of 3-6 broadheads only 1 or 2 fit that criteria. I've often times had a different broadhead on each arrow. They all shot the same. For fixed I prefer the G5 striker and wacem. The 3 blade slick tricks did well for me. Again out of every 6 broadheads only a few work. Ive had really good luck with Sevr and Bloodsport night fury for mechanicals as far as flight goes.

    Big thanks to Edge!!

    I'm sure Tim had his handsful with a 91 yr old gold prospector and his deliquent posterity but thank you for making a bucket list item for an old guy come true.

    Long Range Fixed Blade Field Point Accuracy

    Laws of physics do not allow a fixed head to fly the same as fieldtip at extended ranges. In my experience 70 and 80 yards is where you start to see fixed heads fly a bit low. According to some research on the hooter shooter even mechanicals will not fly a 100% the same at long distances. That being said you can counteract all of this with changing tune slightly. (Move rest) or add a few grains to back of fieldtip to counteract drag/wind and longer ferule etc.. The best ones ive found are those with the shortest ferrule and smallest cutting diameter

    Tacoma questions

    To those of you that know more about it than me I have a question. I know they hold their value ridiculously well but if anyone could give an estimate of how much over or under KBB they are worth. Specs 2010 silver double cab Tacoma TRD off road pkg. 83,000 one owner, older lady that just got diagnosed with Alzheimer's. Couple of small dings, but in very good shape. Thanks, just looking at ideas.

    Elk and cattle.

    Elk hate cows in general but it still doesnt mean they wont feed and water occasionally together. In many many years of running a few cameras in the 3c area ive never had a picture with cow and elk on salt together.

    Mexico 2020

    Had a great trip to Mexico and killed some great bucks. I should have killed this buck. I found him bedded in the shade tending a doe and had my brother shoot his biggest buck. I'm happy for him I made a great stalk on a cool buck and literally missed him 2 times at 20 yards. My plan was if I didn't find a good buck than I wanted to shoot one with my bow. Last morning I actually found a buck that I wanted. After a little rodeo and him soaking up 3 bullets he was done. Killed a good Tom as bonus One of my favorite things about Mexico

    Anyone use My Pillows or Toppers?

    I've never used the topper but I actually really like my pillow, but I also had to try a few to get the right one...

    Their foot is in the door!

    Its because you have a job, some of us are mostly unemployed right now. Personally I'll be fine for a few months but it really hurts some of my employees that are single parents etc.. I think it would surprise most people how much a small business owner actually thinks about and cares about his/her employees. They are our lifeblood and right now our hands are tied. Its tough to be told I can't go to work.

    Effects of the virus scare?

    I just finished a CE webinar and a few people project AZ will be by far the least effected. I sure hope that is right.

    Elk Tomahawks!!!

    I did a beef tomahawk for my son last summer...man oh man. They are good.

    Elk Tomahawks!!!

    That is legit! looks great.
  22. yeah you did and then went back and edited it. Many people saw it myself included. But no worries. If you ever want to meet up and maybe talk about the unit give me a call. Houston 4805404445
  23. I live between Pinedale and Clay Springs and so i live in the middle of the unit. Any Idea how much money I spent on gas alone last year scouting??? I'll give you a hint it was real close to $3500. Everything I know about the units which is less than some and quite a bit more than others has taken me 30+ years to accumulate. I stand by my advice. start driving the roads, learn the unit and talk to people. More than likely you will run into me at some point and I'll be happy to talk to you. I drive an 2010 Tundra that has dents, and dings and always has mud/dirt on it. It has been well used. Most of us will help if a person puts in a little effort, not just asking for handouts.
  24. Lol...3c in Sept will do absolutely nothing for you for the Nov hunts, unless you just want to hear and see elk. Bulls except yearlings will be far away. Better idea is since you live up here start driving learning the unit and meeting people. It can be a miserably difficult hunt most years. We dont usually know how it will be until 2 or 3 weeks before.
