      It’s a lot more than bad Karma.

      It’s doing what is right.

      The world would be a lot better of a place if everyone would act in a similar manner.

      Good on you for your honesty and integrity! 😀

              I agree and the way he almost danced with the bear, moving in and out of his reach, reminded me of Jackie Chan taking on the bad guys in one of his movies! 😯

                  in reply to: nock high? #11231

                  I shoot 3 under too and was experiencing the same problem of nock high.

                  I moved my nock point to 3/4 of an inch and that helped tremendously.

                  not sure what you have yours set at but I was playing around 1/4 to 1/2 or so and it just was making me nuts then someone told me to start at 3/4 for 3 under and that helped.

                  hope this helps

                      I agree with the well rounded education idea. That was my belief when I first began (still is actually) but not for the education system itself.

                      I apologize for hijacking this thread.

                      My intention was not to be about me so to speak but to express a possibility as to why someone may have chosen to get off the grid.

                      I realize that this young man had some issues so to speak, and that was some of the reason he died but, I can see how some would romanticize what he did and even possibly envy him in some way the fact that he was able to make that choice (not to die of course)

                      I would more like to go, as I mentioned earlier, the route that our Dave Peterson did after I retire, and financially I would be able to (if I still have a pension by then). But, not so sure my much better half would go along with it….:shock:

                        in reply to: Into The Wild #55158

                        I have sat here also for a few minutes wondering whether to reply or not.

                        Here goes…

                        I am a public school teacher. I teach Physical Education.

                        At times I walk around with a target on my back it feels because of all the headlines now about education, and teachers not doing their jobs or being good educators etc…

                        I even have to on a daily basis justify my course to my own colleagues who teach the “core” classes such as math, science and ELA.

                        That along with being rigidly scheduled it is taking it’s toll on what I want to do.

                        I have been doing that for 28 years and I am getting close to retirement.

                        I think there is a certain romanticism about stepping out of the “rat race” and going back to a simple life in nature, living by one’s own schedule, living day to day that is really appealing to me and others I believe.

                        Now, I say simple life as I know that it is not a simple thing or easy by any means.

                        I think that I wish I had the courage to do what Dave Peterson did and move to Colorado to live in the mountains “On the Wild Edge”. I think that I could retire to that although I am sure it is tougher than I know.

                        I just think that the “Rat Race” is just getting to some of us and that going off the grid as he did seems really appealing. To get away and live with nature….

                        I can really see people not truly getting it

                        I don’t know just rambling…:roll:

                          I have only used mine and it is a Bearpaw. I think around $40.00 or so.

                          I really like it a lot and it works good for me, but I have never used anything else so I have no experience to offer other than the Bearpaw

                            Thank you for the recommendations!

                            I actually have both those books and I really like them, especially Asbell’s.

                            It is good to also hear what others experiences are as we have such a wealth of knowledge on this site from people from all over. Each one you hear from has just a little bit of a different way about them and to learn that one little nugget that maybe someone else has over looked can be a big help.

                            Again, I thank all who have replied and I will listen to more if you have it!:wink:

                              Dave that is great news indeed!

                              I have been enjoying “on the Wild Edge” and “A Man Made of Elk”. I will be really looking forward to your two new additions.

                                ColMike I am new to hunting that is true, but I grew up to watching Chuck Connors in The Rifleman, Vic Morrow in Combat, and Fess Parker in Daniel Boone. :D:D

                                Gentleman,

                                I would like to thank you all for you experience and knowledge. It is greatly appreciated.

                                I do realize that it does take time and a “lifetime” of experiences to learn all of this. I think that a lot of the fun is those experiences. Getting some of your knowledge and some of your experiences helps to give a starting point to those of us that are interested in the ground game.

                                I look at all the experience on this site and see all the different but similar responses to this thread and enjoy my reading and learning.

                                Where else can you go to get the knowledge from someone who hunts big game in Africa, who writes and hunts with the heart of an Elk in Colorado, the experience of the Australian military, cattle rustlers from Texas…:shock::lol::D as just a sampling…?
