Happy B-Day!!! Enjoy Dan

I like to do my own, but am often pressed for time. I have had excellent luck with Casey's in Flagstaff doing my elk the last few years. Extremeley Clean, No trimming reqd 90% of the time. The burger is very high quality. DO NOT use Rhonda's/Pioneer in Flagstaff. Extremely poor job. Southwestern did a good job for me few years back.

As was previously mentioned. For deer brush it in. I like to set it up under or next to a cedar and cover it. For turkey it is not important. Elk are not nearly as blind jumpy as deer. If your has shiny fabric make sure it is in the shade or brush it in. Make sure it is dark inside and wear black hat, face mask, gloves and shirt. Do not open windows such that you are ever silhouetted. Think Johnny Cash the next time you are at walmart. Buy a comfortable chair or 2. I like big comfy chairs for longer hunts. Consider an extra cushion or old pillow for extra cush. Test out sight visibility at prime time. It is dark in the blind so you need some serious fiber optics. Bring a shovel unless it is very level ground. You made need to do some trenching and adjusting for a place to sit. Consider sleeping in it for morning action without disturbing the area walking in. Don't try your buddies Double bull or you may have to upgrade. Practice shooting from inside with and without the mesh.

Very nice! Way to get it done!

It is a very fun gun. I love mine. Made a number of amazing shots on varmints. Amazingly accurate! I did some trigger work on mine and upgraded the scope because it was so accurate. Enjoy check out rimfirecentral.com for tons of info.

Christian, Great story and write up! Congrats on a great bull! Dan

I never ordered any but saw alot of nice ones when I looked online a few years back. I still have some out of date catalogs. Good luck Dan

I would love to try for them. Sent you a PM. Thanks Dan

Bushnell now has the ARC in the Scout model. I bought one of the first ones and like it so far, but have done limited testing. Good Luck Dan

These August monsoons always change things up for me. It is mentioned in some of the coues literature on how they prefer to drink out of a sauce sized puddle than a waterhole, this has been my experience as well. Good luck re-patterning. Dan

Lance, Thanks for sharing the pics as well as the camera info! Good Hunting Dan

Curt W on Bowsite confirmed that they are included on the DVD. I am ordering a set today. It will be very useful in helping out my kids and wife.

Nice! Thanks for posting. Dan

Here is the link for the 2005 video set. It does NOT say if the Dead On shooting tips are included? https://newstore.primediamags.com/shop/Item...em=1DBHTV5& I asked on Bowsite if anyone knew if they were included on the DVD.

The Randy Ulmer ones are excellent. Only the current years tips are online. The first years were great for a beginner. I think they are available on the DVD if you buy them http://www.bowhunter.com/bowhuntermagtv/BHTV_DOdescriptions/ Enjoy Dan

I keep seeing them where they are not suppose to be in 22, 23 and 24. I think the drought may be a factor since they have had to move to perm water alot over the last decade.

That is sick. It is an awful feeling having your property violated like that. Obviously some very twisted individuals. Give our regards to the victims Dan

Thanks for the update! Hopefully a little boost to finish of the 7th and 8ths on my bull

Nice spot. Hopefully we will get some more rain to fill it back up. Thanks for sharing Dan

Very Nice! Thanks for sharing. Good luck Dan

Thanks for the heads up. Can I watch it at your house since I spend toooo much on hunting to afford cable and tivo?

Make sure you chase him into my unit this year. Those are awesome!!! Thanks for taking the time to post the pics Dan

Nice pics from both of you. WoodsAZ- What kind of camera did you get? Thanks for sharing

That is very unfortunate. I am heading up to your home unit this week to do some scouting. I guess I will have to be pretty sneaky on any camera placement if I use them up there. The fact they have bolt cutter means they are probably stealing tree stands as well.

My understanding was that baiting was done away with because one of the board members did not like it and proposed to do away with with it and it passed. ( I have no facts to back this up, just word of mouth) If people keep bringing up deer baiting I am sure a similar thing will happen and hunter will not be able to choose that option anymore. People need to quit discussing this in public forums.
