in reply to: Pearson Switchblades #170868Richard
Go for it !
I have some Bear Razorheads with inserts, I still use …when in the mood.
I had a few left over from the ” olden ” times, and some found on ebay…
Excellent price on those old Pearson heads.
Hunt em!

in reply to: 2025 is Here. Whatcha Got Going? #170363It’s been real cold here in NM. Not much Snow in the mts. If we don’t get a lot more it’ll be poor pickings for the game come spring…not good.

Like Steve ,I have an original hammock seat that I like a lot and use more often than in the past , since passing the 71yr mark….
Like Richard ,I have different day packs for different hunts, always have e gear, but mix and match for different terrain and situations..
I always have binos , don’t use a rangefinder much ( depending) as I don’t shoot past 25 yds or so..
I use binos everywhere, even in deep woods / brush . Amazing what you see with them sometimes that the naked eye misses. Slow movement of the glass of course is key ” like molasses in wintertime”.
I was Coues deer hunting in the “CherryCows” (Chiricahua Mtns Az) some years ago. Still hunting a long a trail in a deep canyon, thick growth on the sides but I could see clearly about 75 yds up the trail. I noticed something in the trail about 35 yds ahead (I’m 20/20 with glasses on). I couldn’t quite make it out. Very very sloooowly I raise my lightweight zeiss glass ( use a Pentax forge now, great glass for a reasonable price. Both 10x) and see a bobcat’s upper head ( eye/ears) looking back at me, slowly lowering ITS head below the dip in the trail..I tried to ease up to get a shot , too late …The cat had slipped off into the deep grass and brush. Just one example ( from many) of using binos up close….

Wishing you good luck on the deer hunting . I have hunted the rim in the past , and know exactly what you mean about labor day weekend. I made the mistake of being there for that holiday a few years ago. Most crowded I have ever seen a Natl forest! I think all of Phoenix showed up !!
Hearing the same, about anti hunters buying Tags here in NM (from good sources).never ending battle…
Any time you call in a coyote that close is a win.

Are you hunting Mule Deer , Coues, or whichever shows up ?

in reply to: Whatcha Got Going 2024? #169019Richard
That sounds more like trick shooting than hunting practice, imho. I quess it might be useful, if you were shooting at a pheasant in flight and it’s cackle on the rise spooked up a whitetail buck in range 😉
I think you should send us a video when you have that shot mastered😁

in reply to: Hello silence, my old friend ………… #169018Richard
Haha
Yes silence my old friend. Glad you found him again….
Keeping em quiet is an absolutely necessity.. as much as one can.
Glad you managed to sort it out, bow quivers especially the large ones can be a problem..

in reply to: Help with identification of bow #168912Jar22
Glad you got an answer to your query… sorry we couldn’t be more help.
If you like the bow and you shoot it well, is all that really matters.
Enjoy the traditional journey…

in reply to: Help with identification of bow #168877Hi Jar22
Welcome to the forum.
I am afraid there are way too many Bowyers and Manufacturers anymore for me too even hazard a guess.
It’s a nice looking bow. How does it shoot? Maybe one of the other members will recognize it and chime in.
If you think it is local to your area , you could ask the members of any archery club near you. Someone might recognize it…
