The argument that lighted knocks help with recovery is BS (sorry Mom). The next thing the horizon will be GPS tracking nocks that will allow you to use your Drone to home in on the locator signal from your knock. Which means they will also start using penetration limiting devises so the arrow stays in the animal. Less penetration means a longer time until the animal dies. They do not care as long as they can find and claim the horns for measure and entry to the record book. If you think I am off my rocker I truly hope you are right.

This is truly a great site. Strong opinions can be aired with respect to all who may disagree. An intelligent discussion can ensue. Opinions may or may not change but the brain will engage, and at the end of the day we all benefit from the discussion.

Keep him at bay Larry. There was a news story this week that the Mayo Clinic had success curing a cancer patient with a mega dose of the measles virus. The treatment is experimental. They going to start clinical trials to see if they get more positive results. http://www.cnn.com/2014/05/15/health/measles-cancer-remission/ Buy the way good luck bear hunting:D

R2 I did not intend to offend. Texas gets a lot of notoriety because of all the large ranches that do cater to those individuals who’s only measure of a successful hunt is inches of antler. Thank you for research on which states allow baiting and which do not.

I did not realize that many did. I do know that when I have talked to people in the Wisconsin DNR they have ALL said do not allow baiting to start because you will never be able to stop it.

I used to think that food plots where OK but I have been having second thoughts. We have individuals in Minnesota that have cut tree’s and plowed up state forest land for food plots in front of their permeant deer stands. Of course they can not get a ticket for hunting over a food plot. They can only get and ticket if they are caught cutting, plowing and planting.

It is a sad state but many of today’s deer hunters believe what they see in the video’s. A trophy in every woodlot and monster buck at the end of every hunt.

QDM must work or else those pay to play outfits in Texas would not have any business. Now if you choose to pay did you take a wild animal fair and square or did you shoot Pavlovs deer coming in for its 5:00 feeding? I believe that the deer herd should be managed for the health of the habitat and let Ma nature take care of the antlers.

My son just finished college at U.W. Stevens Point with a degree in Resource Management with a emphasis on forestry. The problem he said is everything is geared toward cut them as fast as you can and encourage the regeneration to a mono culture for more profit in the future. He says they are just setting things up for big problems in the future. Just 1 bug or fungus is going to wipe out 50 to 100 years of forest. I told him not worry Monsanto will come to the rescue. “Better Living Thru Chemistry”

in reply to: limb tips #48089

Is this a new bow or old one? If it is new I would send it back to the bowyer to fix. I have done the limb twist to straighten then but they usually end up coming back to some degree. Be very careful heating the limbs if you try that. If you get to the temp that the glue was cured at the bow well delaminate.

I am sure the young lad will come around with the help of your wisdom. He just needs a helping hand like Granddad would say. Where and how you apply that hand is your call.:wink:

R2 I like that judo clip on the outside of the quiver for the judo idea, I am going to add that to my Dukier for this fall. When it comes to adding new equipment, I just tell the wife every craftsman know you need the right tools for the job to end up with a quality product. And I remind her that in her quest to create a perfect husband, her job was made much easier because she started with some of the finest materials that were available.:lol:
