in reply to: What happens to your string at release #36560

Ben, the best way to explain how a digital camera works is that it is composed of an array of pixels. Each pixel at a moment in time captures what it sees and sends to the central engine that creates the image you see on the screen. So if the string moves through each pixel but at different times then you get this bounce back from the recreation of an approximate picture. That is why the old slow motion cameras went for high speed shutter to capture as happening

in reply to: Cougar tips? #36542

The only cougar tip I have is to watch out for them since they travel in a large pack at Elways restraunt in Denver,co:D All kidding aside my wife has been stalked by a cat when out mushroom hunting she happened to look up and see it so she backed out of the area. I have when hunting for coyotes in the mountains had a cat try and sneak around us but caught our wind and took off.

One way to help with acclimation is to make sure you stay hydrated it is very important. I would encourage you to work on increasing the accuracy of your shot in stressful situations before hunting elk. After all they can really get your heart racing when you encounter them. Another thing is to minimize your use of calls, since a lot of others in the woods will make them call wise before you get there.

If there are other hunters in the area calling it will not take long for the elk to get call wise, I had that happen to me last year. So I quit calling and found the herd and tried to put a sneak on them. Also hunt with the wind in your face to avoid them smelling you.

Dave;

I believe Idaho, Colorado and Montana have over the counter that are available for anyone. In Wyoming they may still require you to have a guide when hunting for elk if your from out of state. As for input, I would pick a state and then pick the brain of the local biologist to help locate herds. After that i would then do some digital scouting of the area with google maps and also get the 7.5minute of an area on paper to study and take with me. Also make sure you know how to use a map and compass or a gps and map since it can be a large area to hunt in. That is a good start, enjoy the memories you create the hunting of elk.

I have the single jo-jan and love the versatility it gives me. I even have it mounted to the workshop board i use so it does not slide.

Jim that was one of the funniest form videos in a while and I can empathize with the problems in the backyard so I go to the local public course to practice. I liked the video of all the native creatures creating distraction for you.
