Not yet...but thanks for the reminder. Hadn't checked my bank in a few hours.

That does stink...never would have thought of that. Someone told me a while back that being color blind was actually an advantage when glassing, and made it easier to pick deer out. Is that the case in your experience? Hard to say I guess since you can't really compare yourself in both situations and eliminate other variables. I suppose it could have been one of those "lucky/good glassers" who just happened to be color blind and would have been good at picking them out anyway.

Awesome! Surely there's a story to go with those pics!

Heading out Friday afternoon...work always seems to get in the way. Looking forward to it...

Dang what a trip...but yeah I can imagine it's totally worth it and priceless! Congrats on a great buck!

Wow...looks a lot like my old Browning Coyote that I still have in the garage but afraid to even draw since it's been so long. I used to have a similar rest...and yes that's all there is to it is the spring and the end is supposed to flex to allow the fletchings to pass. Like Scooter said, if you have the center shot clearance go for the biscuit. A friend had an older bow like this and saw a lot of improvement just switching to carbon arrows, but that's getting into a lot more $$ that you may not want to spend. He killed a stink pig with his...literally lobbing arrows. Decided after that to upgrade to a low-end newer bow for deer. Sounds very similar to your plan. Otherwise you could go "old school speed" and chop those arrows off and put an overdraw on it! I see you're in Tucson...take it in to Robinsons (he has a few older bows setup in the shop there, so may have some really good insight on what you can do on the cheap) or Bull Basin and they should be able to take care of you.

Congrats...great job! Funny that the horse did not like dragging the elk but would pack it fine...

Congrats and great job sticking with it...awesome!

Awesome...congrats!

Anyone know if that applies statewide or just Phoenix area?

Put some pepper on it and see how it hangs...

Awesome...congrats! Love seeing the youth getting it done...

My buddy emailed asking me if site was down...he can't access from phone but hasn't tried computer since it's a blocked site at his workplace. I can access on phone and on computer no problem...

Awesome video...congrats to both hunters and the video creator! Which hunter made the video? My kids love it too...

Yeah I liked that KBS shirt too...was waiting for my kids to read it and ask me what it meant.

I regret that I still have every gun I've ever owned...and it's not enough! Still need a bigger cabinet before I can add to the collection...don't get me wrong, most of them are sentimental single shots that have been in the family for years. I'll never get rid of most of them though.

Congrats on a great buck...nice write-up too. Sounds like an awesome hunt.

Great job...congrats! That's some pretty awesome character on that buck.

Thanks! We're all lucky because we share a birthday with Amanda! Chef - the kids got me a wild game processing/cooking book...can't wait to try out some of the new recipes soon!

Free introductory XM on my truck when I bought it...best thing I've found is no retuning or losing all signal out in the hills. Got to listen to football and get score updates while out scouting too...first camping trip to the mountains when we didn't have to retune along the drive sold my wife on it too!

Good job...looks like you're having fun scouting and have found some good spots!

Great buck and awesome getting it done with your family like that! Nice write-up too...don't let anybody knock your choice...it's your tag and your hunt. And now your great memories too! Big congrats!

If only it were chambered in 3 1/2...then it would be what I'm looking for...

Gotta love autocorrect! Sweet deal...wish I had the extra cash right now.

Awesome...congrats!
