Thats a great story never happened to me..well not yet anyway! I try never to be with out my bow at arms reach.
in reply to: The Running Woodsman #56040Well I can add this…. I have uhmm noticed that if you borrow an old truck to hunt in and have to sleep in the cab until it stops poring so hard dont forget to shut the door if you decide to stay in the truck..raccoons tend to like to crawl in with you and scare the crap out of you.

in reply to: Public land elk-Colorado #40058I live in Colorado and I have elk hunted. While I am by no way in any means an expert I can suggest a few things. The first, yes be in shape. I have seen a few hunters come into town and go right up the mountain to hunt only to realize just how steep it is and how deep the “holes” where the elk are. The second is get acclimated to the altitude. I just last weekend saw a guy come from 800ft to over 10,000 and was sick by 4:00 in the afternoon of the first day. From my experience the elk are not talking yet. We have a pre rut archery hunt in Colorado. They are still in velvet and really are not in big groups. I have seen several small groups of 10-20 elk this time of year. While I am sure there are larger groups some places this time of year you really wont be seeming groups in larger numbers. The guy who got sick made a statement that he thought he would go up the ridge and see elk by the hundreds feeding. In my experience it is better to hunt in the last two weeks of September if you expect to hear the bugles and cows. Watch the thermals they can bust you quick and the swirling winds will be a challenge. That’s pretty much what I can say with the limited knowledge I have. David Peterson is much more knowledgeable about it that I.

I have had the same thing happen to me. I shoot in my backyard. Being that I live in a fairly busy intersection I get the occasional look from passers by. Recently I was shooting and I was hitting dead on. A guy stopped and watched for a few mins. I had noticed him watching before when I was tuning my new Gold Tips trying to get the best ones out of the dozen I had just bought. As I went to collect my arrows from my Delta Buck he called out how much I had improved. I felt a little redemption for how bad it looked before.
in reply to: Grizzlystiks ON SALE (EFOC!!) #39957Any idea if the complete arrows have this problem or just the ones you fletch yourself? I wonder it they find the weak/stiff side before they send out the complete fletched arrows.
in reply to: bow quiver #39862I love my Selaway.
in reply to: Defining "Traditional" Bowhunting #39858Being that I am totally new to “Traditional Bowhunting” I have a lot to learn. I have yet to even harvest with a “Traditional Bow” I have 1 deer to my name with a bow,( yes it was a compound, that was before I go into a “stick”) and another deer to my rifle. I have sold both since being bitten by the traditional bug. In all honesty I could give a hoot if I don’t fill my elk tag this year. I love the way I feel about being out there watching and learning every time I go out. Traditional archery has thought me so much about life itself that I can say I couldn’t have any better thing to be into. It has completely changed me as a person. By the way I’m working on an article about this and I might have the guts to post it or maybe even send it into the magazine to see if it would be worthy of publication. I guess we will see.
Anyway most of you have seen the pics of my new recurve. I do shoot carbon arrows at this point for the reason of learning curves and set ups. One thing at a time I think. Wood arrows are sure to follow. I’ll get there when I get there. So basically its me, my recurve, 5 carbons, a pack with safety gear and food, binoculars and me.
in reply to: Utah Mulies #39840Nice buck. I have been hunting and seen all kinda of nice buck and does. A lot of “groceries” have walked with in eye site of me. I almost had a shot at a coyote yesterday at 20 yrds but he saw be draw and boogied out of there in a hurry. I wish I had it together to put my tags in on time so I could have gotten a deer tag this year. My either sex elk tag will do just fine though. Just gotta get closer than 44 yrds for a shot I will take at one.
in reply to: hunting shows part 2 #39804Well I can say this: I used to watch a lot of hunting videos. I don’t anymore. I do watch Easton Bowhunting TV. I watch it because I believe Fred is a hunter with morals , spirit and passion for the hunt. I like how when he misses he says he missed. I like the out takes at the end,( when he shot the I believe it was a woodland caribou and made fun of how small it was). I don’t care for the shows that trophy hunt: oh that wasn’t a big enough bull or what ever the case maybe. I get either sex tags for the main reason it give me more opportunity to harvest. I have a problem with a video I saw on a web site where a guy filmed his own deer hunt sitting in a tree stand over a feeder. That makes my blood boil. With all that said I believe it is our duty as moral hunters to watch the shows that do it right and not watch the shows that we find morally wrong. This does two things. Being that all TV shows are based on ratings we simply do give them what they desire: the ratings and those will be weeded out.
in reply to: Getting Ready for Deer Season #39773Looks like you did it right! Good job!
