You're preaching to the choir!

I am all in for making hunting retro. Traditional bows and muzzys and Fixed power scopes for general hunts. This would give the animals a chance grow to maturity.

Talking to a lot of crossbow, you would be surprised how many had knee injuries or back spasms. This loophole is getting abused and i am glad it's closing My stepdad has a champ permit, primarily so I can retrieve his game if he makes a bad shot. He hasn't hunted any of the otc stuff with it.

I only have one honey hole right now, but its in an otc area so I guess I can't help you.

The late archery hunt, that I love was 100% draw with 6 points just a few years ago. Now it's single digits.

Generally, when it's a dry winter it's a really wet late spring. This could be one of those times with perfectly timed rain.

Hopefully, for people to forget about it.

Congrats Houston!

I'm not saying it wasn't. I am just saying there is ring doorbell footage of the bull.

Some people online are saying it's a neighborhood bull.

Truth! After my nephew didn't get his goal and chose to get skunked, my arrogant butt doubled down on our bet and had a goal of 116" (one inch bigger than his biggest). I saw around 20 bucks, I was just looking for that next, next level buck. Now that I am pointless, I may do the October hunt next year and spend the hunt on top of the mountain looking for a particular buck.

I could not find the rut in 36c after 14 days of looking.

This was Saturday. Only one other hunter was there when I left.

And the day after you giving me grief about my tripod, I lost it!🤣

Well I got skunked. I passed bucks i shouldn't have. For those that smirked, look up my strip hunt, I am not right in the head. Yesterday, I hiked in 2.5 miles in the dark. got to my glassing spot at the edge of the rez and after an hour and a half found a buck I would be happy with. It had eyeguards that looked longer than my hand. Set up for a shot @431 yards. I actually practiced upto 440 yards in preparation. I setup with a very solid rest, squeezed the trigger and the bucks disappeared. After checking for an hour or so. No signs of a hit, whatsoever. What I learned 1 - there is no rut in December 2 - hunters treat a December coues tag like a September elk tag. With a lot of helpers 3 - setting up for a long range shot solo is very hard 4 - practice shooting angles as much as distance. 5 - be persistent. No matter how boring looking at the same spot is, eventually something will walk by. No regrets. I will go back to still hunting for a bit.
