Here's some pics

Yep, I was all talk. Finally got out this morning and 20 min into the morning almost steppend on this SOB. i'm not sure what the big deal is, that snake doesn't even have a head on it.

If I have to fix everything, I'll probably ask 6000

Right! Hot Dane, mother trucker!!!!! You always hear about how effective the spray is, must have got a bad batch!!! So did anyone read the story, apparently the written version is even worse, he got attacked twice!!!!!! yeah, the write up is even better. that bear tracked him down before he made it to his truck and took a few more bites.

not to hijack here, but i just bought two packs of shwackers, 1 3/4" 100 grain, for my elk hunt. i'm hoping they do well. i bought them because i like how the blade is fully contained in the ferrule (sp?) , like the ulmer edges used to be. i've suffered in years past from bad broadhead flight. they look like good fliers, hopefully they are good cutters, too. i'm shooting a decently fast set up, a 2015 pse premonition HD, 70 pounds, 29", with 7.9 gpi easton hexx. hopefully thats enough to get it done on an elk. have you had any experience with the shwackers on elk? thx.

i bought an old ben pearson on ebay for $50, just so i could shoot a trad bow, and get the feel of it. then i'll be able to plunk down more coin on what i really want. i just need to shoot something for a while, so i can know what i "really" want. i don't think 4 hundo is too much for a well made bow. if you were making bows, what would you charge? i'd probly charge, like 5 grand a piece. good thing i don't make bows, lol.

for you late archery bull tag holders, what will be your main strategy this fall? spot and stalk? sitting water? tree stands? i know these are tough hunts, but they are also tags that can be acquired fairly easily. i'm looking for tips and tricks from some of you guys who can fill these tags somewhat regularly, i know some of you gusy are just the baddest hunters on the planet.

dragoons.

I think Cottonwood is beginning to be a happening place. not to far from elk, mule deer, coues, and work. they have a few amenities as well.

i don't like the stuff from walmart. you could die out there in that stuff...lol i'd go to a military surplus store and get some old BDU's. that's what i wear, mostly. also, don't hesitate to check out goodwill and ebay. you never know what you might find.

i hold out for B&C animals exclusively, till opening day. on opening day, i'll shoot anything.

for whiteys, i'd be glassing in the morning and sitting water in the afternoon, maybe starting 11-12 to dark. sometimes if it rains that afternoon, the deer will be on their feet, so hunting after a monsoon in critical. and i'd be taking notes as to where i was seeing does, and hunt those areas during the rut. find some good game trails leading through browse areas, and hang some stands and play the wind come january. it's easier to kill a deer out of a treestand than any other way. of course, if you're in the desert, this isn't an option. sometimes, you have to find a buck or two, and just sit there and watch him for a couple of days before you make a move on him, to the point where you already know what he's doing and where he's going. this is also known as "scouting". lol.

nice!

nice!!!!

you may consider hiring a guide. if this is going to be your first hunt, and your daughter is involved, and you want this to be a memorable experience for the both of you, it could be money well spent.

$40 or trade for a Remington Sendero 300 Win Mag with a Nightforce scope. It works.

Sold to buglechaser. Thx.

The prices are unfathomable. I bought a new pse on clearance last fall for like 500$. That was a big spend for po' folk like us. I hope it pays for itself in game meat real quickly.

Funny, ive never had one jump the string. The last buck i shot,i missed the first time, shot over his back, nocked another and drilled him. He never knew i was there, even after the first miss. I was waaaaay up a tree, and he was looking around for me but just couldn't locate me. Hope i stay blessed!!!

i live just up the road from willow, you can rent my 17 ft grumman canoe if you like. it's an old style canoe, not with all the gizmo's on the newer ones, but it's sturdy and doesn't leak.

i tried a climber this january, and liked it. you don't have to worry about those pesky screw in steps, either. of course, they don't work in a juniper tree so well.

That's my buck leave him alone haha. i'm gonna stick an arrow in him the first chance i get.

i've commented on this topic before in other threads. i found a muley last year in a desert unit, with a trillion tags that i would shoot on opening day of a strip hunt if it took me 25 years to draw the tag. he's incredible, probably the biggest 4x4 i've ever seen. i don't know if somebody's killed him last year or not. i watched him all morning on my bro's whitetail hunt. i went after him in january, and another hunter i met had a pic of him on his phone that he took at 120 yards, the previous year, when he looked to be 180 ish, but this year he looked to me to be 200 and no trash either. but a whitetail tempted me and my arrow found his heart. so, i'm buying bonus point number 8. i can't pull the string on a deer till next january, and while i have no regrets on the whitetail, it's a tough wait, knowing he could still be out there, and there's 3 seasons of deer hunting he has to survive between now and january, and i don't think he'll make it based on where i found him. so, do i keep waiting for the strip tag, or, hunt a more familiar unit. every year i kill a deer with my bow, the decision is easy.
