in reply to: Arrow master or cat quiver #11046
I have a mini Catquiver. Although I love the concept, I think the broadheads are better protected from the moisture in an Arrowmaster
in reply to: Bow Season vs. Crossbows #10444SteveMcD wrote: I have to agree with Chris. If it were just those that were physically challenged using the crossbow in the archery season, I would say fine. The problem is.. the majority of potential crossbow hunters are just gun hunters looking for an “easy in” into the Archery season. 👿 Heck most Compounders don’t even start practicing until a couple of weeks before the season begins. 🙄
If I am an Elitist. Ok – I can live with that. 8):D
I second that!
in reply to: Doug Borland Article #10436Another great article by Doug Borland. But, aren’t they all? Shouldn’t he write a book, instead of teasing us with a story, a memory, a Jay Massey memory, here and there? I’m fed up, I want more!!! 🙂

As one “friend” recently quipped, everyone is happy to see my birthdays come, thinking they’re another year closer to getting rid of me! Don’t count on it. The running joke here so far today is that my wife has totally spaced that today is my BD. I think it’s funny. She doesn’t think much at all. :shock::roll::D Bless you all, dave
your “friend” probably thinks he/she is one year closer to getting those Shrews:D

There ya’ go! :):):):)
there ya’ go! 🙂 x2
As far as compton, can’t make it, again. On the road making much needed money that weekend. Entertainers weekends are Mondays and Tuesdays. Any chance having compton on those days ;)?in reply to: Why is Bowhunting Illegal in Germany? #40600I can only speak for Switzerland and France. France was the FIRST country to ALLOW Bowhunting in Europe. I mean, they fought like hell! and their example is spilling over to other countries that might, I say might, allow it one day. At least, they see how well it flourished in France.
sooo, that takes care of France!
As far as Switzerland ( which has the same philosophy about a bow & arrow as Germany), there is nothing privileged or royal about hunting. It is totally democratic ( Switzerland was the first democracy in the world, in year 1291! ) most hunters are farmers and blue collar folks. Luckily, There is very little private land in Switzerland. Most forest,prairies and mountains grazing fields are owned and managed by each neighboring town and the town’s government control who farm, graze and hunt on it. The main problem about not allowing Bowhunting is this:
First, the arrow going thru an animal is too graphic, too feodal, primitive, too up close and personal for comfort, in the eyes of lots of people in Europe. Also, they don’t see it as a precise weapon hitting its mark. They truly, sincerely believe that only a scoped rifle from far away is adequate and humane for hunting. Switzerland and Germany are too rigid in their fundamental idea of what hunting should be, ie. strictly a conservation tool, with no fun allowed, because their every move is watched and criticized by a very powerful lobby opposed to hunting ( lets not forget Dr Schweitzer was Swiss) Ok, I’m tired of typing. I hope I made a little sense to youin reply to: My favorite homemade small game arrows. #26759scary!:shock:
in reply to: Eclipse Broadheads #10435I love them. I have the 2 blade, 145gr heads. I’m the kind of guy who does not get impressed with any kind of trendy currents, in this case 3 blades and/or single bevel heads. During the few years I’ve been bowhunting with trad gear, I’ve used Eskimos at home or STOS in Colorado for Elk exclusively. This year, Eclipse heads have eclipsed my beloved Eskimos 🙂
in reply to: This one really takes the cake! #62335David Petersen wrote: Alex, now that’s a handsome mugshot! Unless my electro-magnetic field has somehow been “preveted” and thus I disremember, that pic was taken a couple Septembers ago during a long mid-day rest break atop a ridge where I assured you, and myself, that “we won’t disturb any elk here,” and consequently you had your boots off and I had boots, socks and shirt off and was sound asleep in the chilly sun … when several cows and a gorgeous 5×5 came up for a nice long visit, with me sitting with my back to them and you whispering, “Don’t turn around, don’t move,” then when they got bored and left you chasing after in socks. Yep, you sure know how to pick your guides and self-portraits! 😯 dp
Dave, I sure know how to pick’em! I could even post a pic of the guide taking a nap in his socks, but….
As for that 5X5, I’ll never forget that moment, when what I thought were deadfall white pine limbs suddenly started to move in the deep blue Colorado midday sky, and I suddenly had the biggest antlers I had ever seen 20 yards away!
And, I also won’t ever forget feeling like I was the baaaadest bowhunter on the planet during that shoeless chase.in reply to: This one really takes the cake! #62097“The 6th sense is EXPLAINABLE and PREVETABLE” (as in … to prevet)

dude, I signed CD’s ’til 2 in the morning, went to bed, and had a wake-up call at 6:30 for trip back to the airport. my early flight was canceled, so I had to wait in airport for a noon flight. spent my time on tradbow and even browsed thru the hook&bullet hunting mags section at the news stand, trying to memorize:
“10 tips to bag a late season Booner” :shock::shock::D
Happy New Year!!
PS: Ok, I’m changing the picture. Instead of the pic with the showbiz sleepy look, I soon will have pic with the 7th day of Elk Hunting with David Petersen sleepy look!:lol:in reply to: To burn or cut is the question? #59436Burn, baby burn! I have a chopper but i cannot use it properly and always mess up one or two out of three!
After seeing TJ’s, i am going to save the money for a burnerin reply to: Hunting Binoculars #56378I have the Leupold Cascadia, right under $400 I believe. They are good, but I realized that I got what I paid for, when I compared them to a friend’s Leicas. Ouch! the difference was literally… night and day.
