Howdy,

Hopefully neither of you mind me answering :)…he hunts in California.

Patrick, I also have a lab, 14 years old hips are bad and one elbow is shot but still gets up in the mornings and wants breakfast, we go for long walks but don’t go very far, he sniffs every blade of grass and bush, be nice if he saw another spring.

Mark.

I can relate. They definitely become a family member. Yeah, she had congestive heart failure, could barely see, amongst other things. I didn’t even know dogs could get congetive heart failure until we found out she had it. Which explained why she was ALWAYS panting (near the end).

I LOVE knives. I have two favorites:
One is a Benchmade 940 w/ carbon fiber scales. Super lightweight, awesome locking mechanism: Simple, strong, and practical. I carry that thing EVERYWHERE! Can barely tell it’s there:

My other favorite is on its way back from the Northwest Territories. 🙂

My Knives of Alaska Bush Camp Knife qualifies for honorable mention. It’s large, and it is a great all around knife. I can use it to chop through small limbs to make shooting lanes, field dress, etc.

Anyone who takes these conversations and themselves so seriously that they get pissed off is not worth worrying about GTA! 😉

in reply to: longbow or recurve #9657

Yeah, I’m pretty much a rookie too…only two years in. I shoot a longbow because I liked the slimmer profile, feel, looks. I didn’t try a bunch out so I really don’t have a frame of reference to compare it to.

My wife has a little “yorkie-poo” now, and she’s a cute little thing, but I like labs. My yellow lab, Nikki, had to be put down when she was 13 years old a couple years ago. She was a great dog. 🙁

No, they can smell smoke and you, I smoke cigars all the time while hunting, it don’t matter, just keep the wind in your face.

Lol! You seem to have a photo for every discussion.

Dan

Appreciate it. I’ll keep your offer in mind.

Greatreearcher wrote: Basically, bottom line is this- for hogs, you need a sharp broadhead, a acurate shot, and effectively heavy arrow. Does not matter how powerful your bow is or is not!

🙄 Good. I’m going to buy a bow that pulls 10 pounds at my draw length and kill me some hogs!

No he didn’t! Here is what he said:

Most can’t shoot 100lb bow so, we have to shoot the best tackle we possibly can with our physical limitations. if all I can shoot is 40-45lb, I have to limit what I shoot at and the shots I will take.

The most important and on target point you’ve made. 😆
