Cats are cool —

Don’t you wonder how many times they have seen you? vs the couple of times you’ve seen them —–

Mountain Lions – the ultimate still hunter, even in Dave’s camera pix the cat is using cover – how does it know? –haha

Now I have heard it all –to echo Wildschwein – public lands a form of Communism! wow –

The older I get the less I like any politician [ irregardless of party] I am afraid I end up voting for the ” lesser evil” any more.

I feel for wisconsinites, and the rest of us better stay on guard!

in reply to: "The Grey" #28134

I see most of my movies on DVD —

I remembered the comments on this thread so watched “The Grey”

the other day much to my regret [ all the trad bow reviews were correct] horrid film.

But

I also picked up a Korean film titled “War of the Arrows”

Basically a period piece action adventure, with a lot of { Recurve }archery in it, with a well done “archery duel” in the last third. Don’t get me wrong it’s “Hollywood”. but no more so than Most of the “Robin Hood” pixs which I also enjoyed — after all — they are just Moving Pictures—

Kudo’s to Zipper bows and Bill Dunn

I will buy some of the heavier heads as soon as they are available.

I think it is great, that a Tradional Bowhunting Icon [imho]is returning to the field —

Kellydockter –

cool with the weasels —

My experiences have been mostly chipmunks & Squirrels.

I have had Hummingbirds come and check out my fletching [ usually bright yellow/orange/white]. Sometimes it takes them awhile to sort out there is no nectar with those flowers.. Fun to watch—-

in reply to: carbon arrow broke upon release #24537

Tkohlhorst-

I think as long as you check you will be fine.

I shot only aluminums for a long time after my wood arrow injury,because I was spooked by it. I eventually learned, what we have passed on to you. when in doubt – check em out!

I shoot every type today – though mostly Carbon [ for EFOC ]and sometimes wood for their Beauty/tradition- depends on the bow and its purpose. The good thing about aluminum arrows is when they quit it is usually pretty obvious.

I don’t think Bigfoot would last long in Texas — Too high a hunter per capita rate down there——

in reply to: It's getting CLOSE! #24205

Smithhammer –

In Southern NM [ Gila ] had a record warm March [entire month]

birds went early. all I saw were single nesting hens, and very few*, in an area in the past, that had large nos of turkeys. Heard 1 gobbler -never actually saw him. a lot of competition in the woods, a lot of run n gunners on 4wds.I kind of expected it – I was working in TX and the birds started earlier than usual there also. In fact a friend sent a game camera pix showing poults following a hen opening week for NM -[tx a lil further south but similiar].

But had a wonderfull time in the Mtns – good water – everything greening up. beautifull weather, saw Elk N deer —–

Scout

* according to local reports the hatch last yr was decimated by a late cold/wet spell.

Dave –

I am glad, i enjoy your writings and I just happened to recall the “bigbutt” story, and went and looked it up for Wildschwein–.

I agree about human nature, I actually know people who are enamored with the bigfoot possibility, which always amazes me [especially in the lower 48]. there are so many people almost everywhere — Bigfoot would have to be the “sneaky -ess critter” out there to escape detection for so long.

in reply to: broadheads #23186

I am always surprised { I guess I shouldn’t be anymore} at how emotionally charged the ” Broadhead” issue is —

I read the other thread in it’s entirety [ posted by Mr Mcdonald]. Dr Ashby’s “study” is the only one I know of? It’s parameters are published,if you disagree with a broadheads performance why not redo the test under the same criteria*,to prove one’s point- No pun intended– but a lil levity is appropriate- I believe–

Scout

or develope one’s own.

PS –sorry webmom ! you posted while I was writing I apologize if I fanned any flames– Happy Mom’s Day to you also—

in reply to: broadheads #22351

I echo David —

Tuffhead is my current choice — if the new grizzly { I used the old one, over 20+yrs] is as advertised — it will give everybody “a run for their money”

I also personally think Highly of Aboyer brown bears. yes, they are not cheap but how many do you shoot at big game? even including practice [ which I do a lot off LOL]

Use the best you can afford – I believe, I owe it to the Magnificent Game animals I love to Hunt–It may be a Western {vs eastern} thing – bigger animals / shot at the edge of trad bow range [25yds] – just a thought thrown out for discussion?

Outstanding — i do not have your experience — but I realize that each Bow/Arrow combination is different – — At least for me! I enjoy following your efoc adventures. With each new effort, we all gain new info which helps us with our own endeavors —

Thanks
