What a hunt! Love the longbow and the natural camo. Great shot, and what a nice bear, beautiful…

What a fantastic video! Better than all the garbage that is on the tube today…Oh, Clay, thanks for showing tremendous respect for the hunt and more importantly, the animal. I loved it. Well done, looking forward to more of your stuff.

Love the humility, but the buck is a true trophy in my eyes…

Not only that, but to continue hunting for 10 days after such a bad fall, Mountain Tough! Well done bro…T

One of the finest takedown longbows on the market today…

Black Widow’s design is second to none. You can’t even tell its a takedown and its beavertail grip is awesome.

Safari Tuff makes two open side quivers called the Arrowmaster and the Duiker. I own the Arrowmaster and really like it. I am going to purchase the smaller Duiker here soon…

in reply to: Who's Hunting the Late Season? #58925

I have a leftover private land doe mule deer hunt starting here in Colorado on December 1st. Despite a month long lingering pinched nerve in my neck, I am excited and finally started shooting my bow again on Thanksgiving. It would be a real blessing to take a nice fat doe here in the next couple of weeks.

Wow Mike, you did it again! Fantastic bucks, doesn’t sound much like luck on this one. I know how hard you work for it and your efforts have been rewarded. Great shooting as well. The fact you kept your cool when both bucks came into range is is the mark of a fine hunter…Well done, both are trophies of a lifetime. Hope you and your family are well…God bless, T

Congrats fellas on some beautiful animals…Well done Joe on your fine broadheads…Had I only come to full draw, a nice bull would have made the cut. Dang it, the miss still hurts…Seriously, thank you Joe for making such excellent broadheads.

in reply to: Dang Squirrels!!! #60658

Thanks for sharing Troy, hilarious, I could imagine the look on the face of that little rascal! They drive me a bit bananas during elk season, always seems to be telling everyone, “here he comes!” Dang it…If they tasted like cottontail or grouse, they would be in serious trouble. Well, that is if they don’t know I would love to put an arrow through one. Thanks again Troy.

in reply to: Opinions on T/D Longbows #60594

I have two takedown Longbows by Black Widow. Their locket socket design is as good as it gets…I love mine and would love to own a couple more. Great bows, quiet, forgiving, and tough as nails. The pic is not my bow but what a beauty. Gotta love the Beaver tail wrap.

Another Happy Birthday to an absolute gentleman! Going to listen to his jazz cd in tribute. Saxton will definitely love it! God bless you Alex…

in reply to: Merino wool pants #57184

Now you see why I wear long shorts with Merino wool long underwear! I am always surprised that I stay warm even in wet/snowy early fall weather. I haven’t worn a pair of actual pants in several seasons here in Colorado.
That said, I own a pair of LL Bean wool pants to use when the temps get colder and I have to sit for a bit. They aren’t Merino but they are still real nice. They are well made and not as heavy as advertised. I wore them on the late season Roosevelt hunt two seasons ago in Washington and they performed admirably. Dave, I know you are skinny right now but they might fit you if you want to use them. They only have 4 pockets but I believe there is a 6 pocket version at LL Bean…
