I met some of your crew out there when I was mule deer hunting. Glad you got a nice one.😎

I’ve kicked it around a bit in the past, but never too seriously. I’d love to try it out more, with someone who knows what they’re doing.

Nice!!

Are any of you guys using hunt map apps on your phone to replace the gps? Does it work when you don't have signal? I'm looking for something that is iphone compatible, that would save having to carry a gps, since i usually have my phone with me anyways.

.... for my son..... sure. lol.

Let me know if you find some. Id like to get my iron rangers resoled.

Others can’t? I’d think anyone can if they can get the tags. Back east, if you don’t kill them they will die of disease or get hit by a car. So inventory is not limited. But it I hear ya. 👍

Nope. I lived in Africa for a while, them lions need shot. They eat a lot of people, you never hear about that. im not offended that some is successful. Just tossing out an ethics question. Is it ethical to shoot more than you can eat, when supply is limited. opine, please. But give a reason.

Ok here’s one for ya, what about pro’s? i was watching one hunting show where a guy, I think it was Cameron Haynes, said he killed 6 bulls in one year. Im thinking, did he eat all 6 of those bulls? Who needs to kill 6 bulls? if he gave 4 of those bulls away, It’s almost like robbing 4 hunters from opportunity to harvest a bull. While im sure every one of those hunts was perfectly legal, is it ethical to take more than you need? Im just asking.

It’s a good conversation, I’d rather have it over a steak or some good bar b que than online. Don’t want to further derail this thread.

50 yard shot, clean pass through. What more do you want? I used the shwacker, btw.

All you gotta do, is draw blood, forfeit your tag. I know it seems unenforceable, but it will still put fear in people. if you hired a plumber who can’t plumb, who’s fault is that? Why punish everyone one for the few that mess things up. Free enterprises is a right, not a privilege. If you have to earn it, it’s a privilege. We’ve lost that in this country. We need to take it back.

Say what? I had had a clean pass through at 50 yards last year with a mechanical. Talk about dying fast.... id quit hunting before I used a fixed blade. Well, maybe not, but still.

Not that I want him to quit, just track.

Sometimes the hunting community has to step in. If it was someone I knew, I’d be up there in a flash with pack, lights and knives, and teach the man to track. Should have been done on bull number 1. Of course, I know we all have to work and stuff, and I get that. We can be keyboard cowboys, but some of his buddies need to step in and help the poor guy out. I don’t know who he is or who his friends are, maybe he doesn’t have any.

I bet you’re at home sittin on your couch, playin on your phone.

I’m to the point where I think if you draw blood, you forfeit your tag. i hate regulations, but man....

I know for myself, when I first started hunting, I wounded a few deer because I didn’t know about bow torque. I would hunt with a glove on in January because it was cold outside. And I would always miss high and to the left. Then I learned about bow torque and started taking the gloves off before the shot. Animals started dying and my field shooting improved unbelievably. I don’t think I’ve lost a big game animals since I learned about bow torque . But that was a few years ago, and it was just a matter of education. I think a lot of guys are just impatient in tracking also. If you don’t hit an animal in the bread basket, particularly an elk, you’ve got to back out for several hours before you look for it. I think a lot of guys just look for it for a couple hours, bump it, can’t find it, and then keep hunting.

Welp, after reading up on nutrition and health, I’ve discovered how incredibly good for you bone broth is. I’ve been really influenced by dr axe’s book, “eat dirt.” now I feel guilty about all the bones I’ve thrown away over the years. I’ve always considered the meat to be the best part, but now I’m not so sure the bones aren’t better. So this year I decided to make organic bone broth out of my deer bones. We’ll see how it goes. But in any case, waste not, want not.

So, we sample the goods tonight. The wife made deer burger lentil soup with deer bone stock for a base. It tasted great. Hopefully as good for me as all the hype.

This is the truth. Most guys in the Midwest only have 5 to 20 acres to hunt on, so getting deer on your property is essential through bating. I don’t have a single problem with it. It’s still hunting it’s still awesome. public land areas are different.

There’s a lot of info on the web and YouTube about how to make it. But it’s my first rodeo with this, so we’ll see how it goes.

Welp, I’ll getting ready for a Randy Newberg marathon.

You’re kidding..... right?
